Currently trying to rush to all DoH 50 pre 2.5
I know right now I don't have enough Leves in order to make that goal (or time from where I'm at)
So currently I have GSM CARPENTER WVR LTR cul @34 currently I have moved focus to ALC for CZ that will make it but I have been unable to hq turn in materials for books thus far as I try to unlock a few books now - getting hard to afford mats after all my HQ fails and the lvling cost in general anyone have any rotation suggestions maybe?
You really want to push that Carpenter to 50 as a Priority for Byregots Blessing. You will see this skill in absolutely every post where somebody is looking for a 100% HQ rate. It is the single best ability to reach goals of 100% Quality.
CUL 50 will save you money with Reclaim. However, it was my last craft to 50. If you are patient, focused, and lucky, you won't need it. IF you typically have horrible luck, it might be worthwhile to do sooner than later.
You also didn't say which classes you have @ 50 o__0'; I'm guessing you have ARM & BSM @ 50 since you ignored them.
As a rough guide, I would say use Hasty Touch for Quality, use Tricks of the Trade whenever you get a good condition, if you are full on CP, and get good/excellent, that is where you will want to use basic/standard/advanced touch for large quality gains. Use Careful Synthesis to complete the synth since it doesn't use cp.
Don't worry about Manipulation, just use MM 1 or 2 based on how much Durability you have.
I don't remember much from back then but i remember rushing SH II and hasty touch for the cross class skills. At the same time i level my gathering class so i was self sufficient. You also want every craft at 15 for cross class skills. Rumination is great until you get Byrgot's.
I don't suggest doing leve's until you hit 25 or 30 in each class which is rather easy to do actually.
11 leve's = 5 levels.

Any particular reason you're focusing on getting comfort zone? It's certainly not a bad skill, but I don't think I used it once before trying a 3-star recipe. Careful Synthesis 2 and Byregot's Blessing (especially BB if you have CS1) are much more important skills, especially to allow other classes a much easier time of leveling.
That said, mostly stick to steady hand (2 if you have it), hasty touch, and pop tricks of the trade [pretty much] whenever you can. Always have Inner Quiet on, drop it for rumination if you need to/ have hit 100% quality. I'd really concentrate on leveling CRP first. You essentially have to worry about gaining half as much quality once you have BB, then using BB (with great strides) fills in the rest.
I'm sorry folks poor explanation, at 50 currently I have GSM carpenter Weaver and leatherworker cul is now 34 and imo from looking at known successful rotations online etc comfort zone and ingenuity2 seem like the next must haves? (as CUL will be at 37 in a day or two from beast tribe quests that is) - more importantly in my rush I put no stats - as I'm now phone bound again I need to wait for lodestone to update gear but with i55 wpn and hat weaver is sitting around 398 craftsmanship and 370 something control without food I don't recall cp atm HQ feet and nq hat unmelded body I just threw 2 craftsmanship +5 on the because new DoH body very soon
Hi Guys
Was wondering if you can help me also, I am looking to work towards Pinga Supra and have melded my leather worker, I have over 356 Craft, 330 Control and 322 CP. I currently have Carpenter and Weaver to 50 also as well as Cul and Goldsmih to 37 with everything else apart from Armourer to 15
My question is what is a good rotation with the skills i have to HQ the gryphonstraps I need to get both the artisan main hand and specs so i can then craft the items needed for Supra ( I dont have the new offhand yet nor the gil to buy one)
From my own experience, HQing those items are difficult without most of the cross class skills, and expensive too. I am still working on it myself, but have been forced to stop trying it myself bc I feel I needed one or two more CC actions. Currently have GSM WVR CPR LTR 50 CUL 37 (ALC on the way to 50) - then I will attempt them again, although I might also need ingenuity 2, we shall see. Similarly to you I have gotten ahead of myself and have been having a few good friends help HQ the book turn ins. I will update on my ability to HQ the wpn turn ins at this point at 4/5 for one book atm. Also if anyone has a rotation recommendation I would appreciate it :-)
I think you are on the right track, ARM and BSM are the last two classes I am working on myself. Alchemy is the next one you should 50 as CZ is a free 14cp and on 80 durabilities free 28cp as you should be able to sync it in two times at least.
Ingenuity 1 is good enough for now until you start hitting 3star. Chilled Popoto will help or go straight boulibaise since you have enough craftmanship to HQ the items for Artisan Specs and Artisan Mainhand for WVR.

Play around with the simulator and find a good rotation. It shows you have far your BB will send you over on quality, so you can make your rotation more efficient and less RNG
Using HQ Mats and HQ boulibaise for food - http://link.ffxivcrafter.com/?id=cbc47
You should be able to consistently 100% HQ the Silver Brocade for your Artisan Mainhand. It does have some RNG in it with a lot of Hasty Touch, but as you can see the Quality is well over the halfway mark, but if you start with HQ items you are already at the 2628 quality to start.
I don't claim this to be the best rotation, but it worked great for me. I had less CP so I had to adjust a little, keep in mind to watch for Tricks of the Trade at the beginning as you have 5 stacks of ingenuity and only need 4 so you can easily click tricks and you're golden. If you don't get the ToT, slim down the end of the rotation and replace 1 basic touch with a hasty to make up for the CP. You may find that you can easily cut a couple steps off and be 100% HQ.
As a side note, I like manipulation since it is 4cp less than master mend and gives me more flexibility. I am sure you could rework to use MM2 if you like to be even more CP efficient.
Wow, awesome website and thanks for the help, will repost my results but I do need to wait for 50 ALC currently @ 42 so should be 50 in a day max two, thanks again :-)
