I use a PC do to it. Also you could do it with the Alch class you would just select the 2 star Alchy recipe to work with!

You should look for one (and only one) ToT during the flawless sequence and if you can pickup one. You can ToT once during the last Hasty sequence. You may ToT outside SHII and Ingenuity II. Otherwise only use Precise touch IF you have consumed extra ToTs. Otherwise stick to the rotation!

Still no luck with simulator. But I wanna share my bit : pretty basic.

*You must hit at least 7or8 inner quiets before moving into durability rotation. Craftsmanship 718 Control 695 Cp 435 (with food)

MaMa
Cz (allowed to hit 1 ToT if available)
Fs
Cz (use ToT if available)
IQ (use ToT if available)
SH2 (use ToT if available)
Waste not
Hasty touch x 4
Cz
SH2
Hasty touch x3
( by now you should be 10/70 with a good stack of IQ if is less than 7 reclaim)
MM2
IN2
CS2 x 4 (ideally) (30/70)
SH2
Hasty touch (30/70) or CS2 (20/70 only if needed to finish it with one touch)
*--- this is the win or lose zone--*
(20/70) If you have enough IQ stack just finish it with GS and BB.if you feel CP reach you can always go for MM or waste not. (Remember save cp for BB)

Just a note:

I always start with Quality cause those IQ stacks are my guarantee on getting HQ at the end of the craft. I personally secure between 9 or 10 before moving to durability. Why do I use waste not instead of waste not 2 like everyone else? Cause I save extra cp just in case plus having those IQ stacks that I'm aiming for I wouldn't need wasting that extra 30cp?

Hope this helps, just wanted to share the way I do it. I mostly use specialists stuff like www and all that malarkey and it's a cp feast for me but it's all a bit too much RnG Jesus. Other thing I usually start with all HQ. Items apart from the red scrip ones like purify coke etc

For my first 2-Star crafts, I acquired one batch of HQ purified coke and three batches of NQ purified coke, and similarly for the dryad sap. I then used a 4NQ to 1HQ ratio of these mats for my 2-Star mat crafting. The extra initial quality is pretty substantial, and may mean the difference between the dreaded 98% chance and the desired 100%.

But with the HQ mats costing 3 red crafting scrip each (plus super-rare Favor mats) it's not something you want to do a lot of. Now that my stats are better, I feel less need for HQ red scrip mats. YMMV.

I don't really care whether I do quality or progress first, but there are now powerful progress skills that have to be done right at the start (e.g. MusMem, Maker's Mark). I have a strong urge to *finish* with substantial progress though, because it's very effective if you can perform a couple of CSII and a BBless under a single Ingenuity II. That said, it isn't working out that way for me at present.

thanks for the rotation kat! i success making i170 ring, spinning wheel and redingnote all HQ (mats and equip) with your rotation :)

Awesome me and the Nana's are super happy for you! Also I love your name it made me laugh and smile ;-)

Very nice rotations. :)

Hi Kat,

OK, I finally got around to trying out your Low CP Rotation on the 1st page:

* It's amazing! I got my HQ Off Hand i170 thanks to you. :)

You are right, it's a very steady, easy-to-follow method. :) Major thanks!


* As a follow-up, if I ever get some bad RNG in this rotation, what is my recourse? On some jobs we won't have Reclaim (I didn't have space for it on BSM). I guess just NQ then?

Thanks!

Yeah pretty much. This is why I made all my 2 star accessories first, because CP was so valuable in doing rotations. Which would stem on my advice. Meld what you have to on as few early mainhand/offhands as you need (avoid IV materia) and go for those accessories and main/offhand replacements and somewhere in-between your chests for fun and flavor.
