Please help with i70 tools

Hi All.

I am really struggling with trying to craft HQ Artesian File.

I have all of my crafts at level 50.

My Blacksmith is 409 craft, 381 control and 352 cp.

The issue I am having no matter what rotation I am using I am still coming short, very short. What's worse it is getting depressing wasting so my sealents.

I am trying to use the following rotation but even in the best case scenario this will give about 65% chance of HQ.

What's really bothering me is that the materials are too expensive for me to even practice and improve up on.

I have asked people in game to help but got zero luck. I would like to craft my own gear and believe I should be able to. So far I cannot seem to find any way to craft it in HQ without godly luck.

So if anyone can offer some sound advice please it will be greatly appreciated.

They're just regular 3 star recipes, if you want practice make wolfram ingots with all NQ ingredients.

hope this would help

Good job getting to this point!

Okay, so the first thing that I noticed in here is that you are only allowing yourself a maximum of 8 touches. this will never allow for more than a 60% chance of Hq. you have to be sitting at 9-11 stacks of inner quiet minimum to have a chance at 100% hq. I would definitely recommend looking at http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Star-HQ-Macros and adapting from there.

the trick is getting as many inner quiet stack chances as you possibly can. 4 star crafting has really added a use for the reclaim skill. honestly, if you get to the end of your hasty touches, and you are at 9 or less stacks of inner quiet, using ruminate, reclaim, fail will likely be your best choice.

patience and practice is key here. I would recommend some of the 3 star items first, a few times just to practice the rotations. both of the current simulators don't quite do 4 stars correct, so it may be a bit of a learning curve.

Good luck! :)

Thank you all, I'll practice on wolfman ingots with nq materials and read through the link you all have shared.

Another question to ask, I am able to get a Supra weapon right now. Should I get the BSM supra (currently using the i70 main hand) or get the Supra for another DoH instead like CUL?

I raid often and my CUL is still on i55 main hand tool.

I got Supra for my BSM while i was trying to figure out 3.9 star rotation for master book II , if you have extra gils to burn, why not.

I am in two minds here. I want to have my BSM as strong as possible so I can craft the i70 off-hand toll for the other crafting classes, namely LTW and WVR. But If I was to get the Supra for a class that I have yet to get the i70 main hand tool.

But if I can successfully craft my own hq i70 3 star tools then I will definitely push for the 3.9 and 4 star recopies.

Get supras for jobs you want to 4 star craft in first. It's not required to make 4 stars, but it sure helps.

Supra is not needed to hq 4 star recipe, in fact i would advice you to get artisan cullote, mitten and sandal first. And you can practice 3 star crafting on any 3 star recipe, the cheapest 3 star recipe on my server currently is ancient lumber. Use at least 2 comfort zones.

Is there anything I should watch out for when crafting 3 star recipes?

So far I have;
9-10 IQ stacks
Reclaim if not enough stacks.
