Tool Updated!!
You can now test your rotation on a completely simulated environment. Input your crafting rotation and your stats and the program will attempt to run it 1000 times.
And then it will display the % of HQ items you got, the fail rate and your average CP left after your rotation.

Now the complicated part :


It's not a linear formula, it's a rank 2 polynome.

Here's the default equation for standard item :


f(x) = 3.4275521095175201e+001 * x^0
+ 3.558806693020045e-001 * x^1
+ 3.5279187952857053e-005 * x^2

Knowing that :

- Good = 150 % bonus
- Excellent = 400% bonus

So overall :

Quality increase = f(control) * efficiency * state bonus.
Where f(control) is the polynome.

Examples:

Control 341 :
Standard touch/Normal state = 157.58 * 100% * 100% = 158 (rounded)
Standard touch/Good = 157.58 * 100% * 150% = 236
Advanced touch/Good = 157.58 * 150% * 150% = 355

Also :

Control = Base Control + Base Control * 0.2 * Number of inner quiet Stacks + Base Control * 0.5 * IsInnovationOn (1 or 0 is innovation is on)

I'm surprised this is not a function of your level? Or is this formula assuming a level 50 character and level 50 item?

[Laryndra]

Level does impact crafting.. As when i Use ingenuity II on a 1 star recipe there is a HUGE difference to progress/quality. That being said, this program seems to have settings for that?

[Mandrakia]

The formula posted is for a normal item.
There is a Level malus indeed it's a 5% malus per touch per level above yours if the difference is superior to 3.
So for a lvl 28 item if you're 25 you'll only have 85% efficiency on touch, 80% for a lvl 29 item etc..

For star Items and Star Items with ingenuity these are 2 other formulas.

But Ingenuity 2 is useless for quality increase, Ingenuity 1 does the same job

Not sure that it's useless as I only use ingenuity 2.. but it doesnt make any sense that it would be. Either way Ingenuity 2 is well worth the little bit of extra CP spent, as i often weave between Qual/Progress on Star 1/2 recipes.

Updated the OP, added a new awesome feature to the soft to test your rotation against 1 star/2 star items!

comes up with an error when I try to use.

[Mandrakia]

Sorry there's a bug, you need to put a number in the : Number of turn to apply trick of the Trade (put 1)

Just to let you know, your work on this tool is much appreciated! Thanks<3

Tool updated, cleaned up the UI a bit and added a button to load your stats directly from the game if the game is running and you've got the crafter class equipped.
