End-all 100% HQ Rotations Thread

BOOKMARKED!!! REALLY NICE COMPELATION

I am bumping this post. I keep losing track of it, and I LOVE the format the OP put the the rotations in. I mean, it would have been nice if they were in Macro format, but I am OK to adapt off of it.

Maybe I will make a new thread with more 3* and 4* when I get there. Anyway, I'm not quite caught up on crafting, so these synths are all still relevent to me, and I play accross 4 different systems so I can't ust bookmark it. Took me quite a while to find this specific thread out from the other ones.

If you use gmail just send it to youremail+ffxiv@gmail.com and you will still get it but it will be super easy to find thats what I did.

Love the OP btw makes finding all of these super easy but it does seem like one or 2 of them are off slightly from the versions in the original thread. I know I had to tweak the 2 star 100% rotation when I started using it I think it was missing a great strides but its been awhile.

There is no way to 100% get an HQ 3 star item without RNG, as far as I know. If that is incorrect, please correct me!

Requirements:
- Full overmelds
- 391 Craftsmanship / 374 Control / 388 CP
- All HQ mats possible.
- Terminus Putty is only ~40% HQable with this method as it is all LQ mats
- WVR / LTW max starting Quality is 1000, which gives an avg of 91% HQ[/B]

Is this still true? With the new gear, has anybody come up with a guaranteed HQ rotation for 3* Recipes? 4*? HQ Mats / NQ Mats. Maybe the gear difference isn't big enough? (Artisan off hands are a big swing imo)

Nope, still RNG, but HQing them with all NQ mats is laughably easy if you have the artisan off-hands melded and you run a 4 star rotation on them.

Funny how bad that post looks when I look back on it.

i finally got my HQ offhand and melded it with control+4 and 3xcraft+5 for my leatherworker. with HQ food im sitting at 451 craftsmanship, 407 control and 392 cp. i unlocked masterbook2 and now will venture into 4star recipes.

anyone can advise on how to HQ Kirimu Leather. i find this to be worrying as the mats both NQ. Allagan Leather + Dubbin.

The rotation I was using for 3* back in the da, is now the rotation I'm doing for 4*. Kirimu Leather is the same as Wootz Ore, in the respect that HQ Allagan Nuggets are super rare. I HQ'd my first wo using, I'm pretty sure it's the 3* rotation I referenced a couple posts up.

Not to be a spoil sport but most of these won't work for a crafter with 2 star stats and the 3 star rotation seems very poor and cp inefficient.

I made macros off of these that still work. not for the three * but still. It's a good quick reference.

First, thank you very much for this great guide and for taking your time to put it all down for us. Really appreciated!

I find amusing that people dare to complain about this.

Great guide and thanks!
