I think the confusion first started from the difference between Temptation which is in that module and WB so maybe that’s what happening.
Synergy: Primordial Aura I’d say is like having the attraction aura of WB but the influence aura of something like Chosen or Emperor: HoM and the physical shifting of WB if combined with Legacy of Spartan without the internal changes you experience on WB is the easiest way to describe it.
Could Synergy/Focus later be used as a framework for mined modules and their cores to highlight specific aspects?
E. g.:
ASBR Core + ASBR Focus: Fame
or
ASBR Core + ASBR Focus: Innovation
or
ASBR Core + ASBR Focus: Networking
Synergy: Primordial Aura looks great, I can only think about this as solo aura module or with Hegemon .
Similar names, very different goals.
APS: Hair is for this.
The expression is quite subjective and dependent on the individual.
Potentially but unlikely. You can already do this through carefully choosing cores, modules and Synergy /Focus modules.
I don’t think so, but it has passed 
WOW
WOW
So I conclude the aura is first and foremost not polarizing AT ALL and kinda captivated ANYONE, and I am more assured about it being more “mature” than WB. Tell me if I’m wrong 
Depends on your definition of polarizing. Everyone I attract is people I want to be around but if there’s someone that isn’t part of that group then I will be polarizing but usually I wouldn’t be around those people in the first place.
Not sure what you mean by mature. The module and WB are both amazing tools to use for results. The main difference is the person using it will have different goals and lifestyle to maximize the results of one or the other.
Auras manifest physically in numerous ways; they don’t start physically nor are they limited to physical dimensions.
Modules like Long Range Seduction, for example.
@Fire @SaintSovereign Final iterations on the custom here before ordering. The one’s with stars I was open to removing if I need to trim it down. Will be running this long-term, main goal/focus right now is improving sales performance and stacking cash. Also, I plan to stack with limitless.
Remove all the starred ones and you’re good to go.
So, Synergy modules with 4+ (?) constituent modules take 2 module slots in a custom?
Is there a suggestion for a maximum number of Synergy modules in one custom or are we good if we just take the double slots into account?
Not as of yet, I believe. Loosely quoting Fire or Saint: “Don’t force us to introduce these limitations by building recon monsters”
As Invictus did.
And even flowgod Invictus reached his limits it seems.
Absolutely. I was hoping to get a broad guideline what does make sense what not, not looking for hard rules.
This will most likely be user dependent, cause like I can tell you 10 would be the limit, but then again, you or others might not be able to handle more than 5, which also depends on which Synergy modules you’re specifically using, which inevitably makes the whole “recommended/maximum number” conversation harder.
Go based on intuition, and if you don’t mind, build a few customs to test 
Synergy is meant to clear up confusion regarding custom building especially for new users. Some broad but clear guidelines would be helpful. (My customs are narrower in focus, fewer modules, np there. I will tinker anyway.)
E. g. I saw a lot of custom proposals with 20 modules, containing several Synergy modules, which contained 4+ constituent modules. Following @fire’s quote, these would account for more than 20 modules.
“5/10 Synergy modules” doesn’t say much about the density when the Synergys can range from Harmonic Conflux to the The Golden One.
I think Synergy modules are easier to stomach than the individual modules together.
Fire just answered a ticket about my planned custom. He removed 3 modules that were covered by the rest (like Dynasty through HoM) and approved the custom otherwise.
I now have 13 modules with 6 Synergy modules.
With constituent modules that would be 30 modules.
I mentioned that it’s my first custom and he approved anyways.
It’s a more streamlined than kitchensink what should make the whole process easier on the mind.
So I guess I’m gonna order it in the near future.
Fire’s general recommendation to not build kitchensink customs will suffice for now.
As it is, customs are meant for intermediate to advanced users who have mastered or have some sort of mastery over main store titles and main store title stacks. They can take this knowldege and carry it over to when they build their customs.
Density isn’t as important in Zero Point subliminals as it used to be in Q and Qv2 titles or stacks or customs or custom stacks. Rather it is focus that is important in Zero Point. Especially in customs.
The more focused a custom is, the less significant the number of modules whether Focus modules or Synergy modules. If all or most modules of a certain custom are focused on a particular goal in mind (for example building an aesthetic body or doing day game or building a new business from the ground up) then it is pretty easy to choose your Synergy modules for the job and the worry on whether the number of Synergy modules are too many, won’t arise.
All the modules are too busy working on your goals and they synergize well with the theme of your custom build.
There have been times when our friends Vesper and Invictus have introduced some variety in their customs. They look a bit unfocused but they can compensate for it with massive action and/or that the theme of their custom matches their every day plans and hence do not matter as much when it comes to focus. There is a method to their madness.
Of course, they are also able to experiment since they have mastered their wealth goals and hence don’t have to worry as much when they experiment with crazy subliminals.
In short, choose a goal and build your custom to achieve that one goal.
Or if you want to risk it a bit, make a custom for two goals.
It is said that one can only optimally focus on at most 2 goals at a time. Fitness and money. Or health and seduction. Or money and health. Or etc. (this is a personal opinion and not meant to be official recommendation)
Remember that customs are nonrefundable. And hence not a beginner’s toolkit. Some creativity and ingenuity are welcomed when building customs.
PS: not a post specifically for my friend @TheGreenMan since he loves tinkering and making idea plans for customs. This is a general answer on why guidelines for customs aren’t as important.
@Fire could you please take a look at this custom before I finalize it?
I think we are talking about 2 different things.
What makes a “good” custom (focus, density, etc.) and clarity/confusion regarding the framework to make one. I am talking about the latter.
E. g. with a 20 modules maximum and big Synergys counting for two modules but only filling one slot in the shop, it is in my (slightly compulsive-german) opinion a possible point of confusion.
And when @Invictus writes:
regarding Synergys… well, step into the shoes of first time custom builders. When they have to choose between a Focus module and a corresponding Synergy module, intuition will (nearly) always lead them to the Synergy module. And understandably so, because they are damn good.
(tbc: I’m not criticizing the mechanics or the system. Love the Synergy/Focus concept. And it’s not a problem for me personally, so just a comment, I guess.)
And yet you delivered a guide on building a custom. I really like this post because it contains the most important aspects of building a custom in a condensed form. Especially for newbie builders like me.
I guess only time and experimentation will tell you/ us as a community how dense/heavy Synergy modules are compared to the focus modules.
I’m a first time custom builder, and I felt that pretty much. Where in the past I would have to decide between the different wealth modules and result enhancers (Once for the space, secondly for the price (at least the first time)) I can chose The Golden One and Devine Dominion and have them all.
But with some wise guidance from experienced builders and support, I was able to drop some unnecessary stuff. And on one occasion I even chose a focus module over a Synergy one because I feared it would make the build to heavy. But thanks to fire, I dropped it completely.
So I’m looking forward to getting a much better income and building many more customs.
