======[ 40 Durability Combines ]======
So how does this work exactly? Note that in the ordered steps section, if there is a good condition, you TAKE it with Tricks of the Trade, always.
Comfort Zone
Inner Quiet
Steady Hand II
Waste Not [Dur 40]
Hasty Touch (One of these will end up a Good, 90% of the time)
Hasty Touch
Hasty Touch
Hasty Touch
Steady Hand II
Waste Not [Dur 25/20]
Hasty Touch
Hasty Touch
Hasty Touch
Hasty Touch (If Dur is 10 ~> 5, otherwise skip this. Any goods will leave you with extra Dur)
Manipulation
Steady Hand II [Dur 15]
Note 1 - If you were flooded with goods, and your quality bar is still under 8%, use another Waste Not here, ride out the 4 Hasty Touches, ending on either 20/15 or 30/25 durability and skip the two Hasty Touches under this. If your Quality bar is at 10-12%, and you only got 2-3 goods, continue.
Hasty Touch [Dur 15]
Hasty Touch (1 star ONLY, on 2 you skip this to the next step. Depending on Touch land rate, you'll still hit 100%) [Dur 15]
Note 2 - If you are doing a 1 star and are higher than 15/20 durability you can add in another Hasty Touch. On a 2 star, you want 25/30 so you have 2 steps to finish the item.
At this point you prep for the finish, what you do depends on your remaining CP.
Your remaining CP = Current CP + Remaining Comfort Zone ticks. Its 8 per tick, so if you have 3 left, for example you would need 111 CP for a 1 star @ 15 Dur, or 96 for a 2 star @ 25 Dur for the Super Combo (Ideal)
135/120 (2 star) CP - Super Combo: Steady Hand > Great Strides > Ingenuity > Innovation (If good, Byregots early) > Byregot's Blessing, Standard Synth or 2 Careful Synthesis II (2 star) = 100% Quality. If an Excellent Pops after Great Strides, Take it. Guaranteed 100% and less stress.
127/117 (2 star) CP - Mega Combo: Steady Hand > Great Strides > Ingenuity > Byregot's Blessing, Standard Synth or 2 Careful Synthesis II (2 star) = 100% Quality.
105/100 (2 star) CP - Risky Combo: Great Strides > Ingenuity > Byregot's Blessing, Standard Synth or 2 Careful Synthesis II (2 star) = 80-100% Quality, with a 10% chance to fail.
103/83 (2 star) CP - Mid Combo: Steady Hand > Ingenuity > Innovation > Byregot's Blessing, Standard Synth or 2 Careful Synthesis II (2 star) = 50-100% Quality.
85/70 (2 star) CP - Low Combo: Steady Hand > Ingenuity > Byregot's Blessing, Standard Synth or 2 Careful Synthesis II (2 star) = 50%-89% Quality.
