You can't HQ with it, and it will skip the mini-game and allow you to craft something in 2 seconds flat.

Quick note: You can HQ on a Hasty Hand. You have the same chance of HQ as you would any craft under Quality of 100. I do it all the time when breaking crystals into shards. Also, a full "Hasty Hand" (including reloading recipes... the fast way) takes about 45 seconds to complete a cycle. That's pretty brutal. It would be better if it auto-reloaded like Locals or if it would just let you queue up 10 synths at a time or so.

Wrong.

It's like 1/20 with quality between 30-100.

It's like 1/100 when hasty-handing.

But maybe shards are different.

wrong. if that's the case i must be the luckiest mofo ever since i have hasty handed and hq'd 4 cotton yarn back to back also. that's 4 straight which was +1 +1 +2 +1. hasty hand is alot higher than 1/100.

WTF... maybe I am just unlucky. I have HQ tools and yet, statistically, these are the figures I get: around 1/20 - 1/30 when standard synthing and around 1/100 when Hasty Handing.

I just know because in order to get 999 + change shards, I need about 65 Crystals.
Hasty Hand them and I typically get 1-2 HQ in there and 1-5 complete fails.

So it's just based on observation. I was selling shards for a while so I was doing this A LOT.

Oh. Well I stand corrected. I was only trying to correct that you CAN in fact HQ on Hasty. I do it all the time.

About 1/50 synths I get HQ on shards, but odds being what they are I could just be lucky and it could be 1/100.

Thanks for the info, I've never HQ on hasty hand but them again I don't use it often. Well now I have first hand experience with what happens when I assume something.

just as a heads up jibe until your craft is 10+ levels above the synth it is not a very good option to use. i use it alot on like cotton yarn, which is a very low level synth, because at r44 wvr i get 0 sp off it. i have a high success rate on it and get hq at a very high percentage on hasty hand on that one synth. i just wouldn't use it on a r20 synth at r20 and hope for hq....you don't even complete a high percentage of them.
