I'm looking to begin working with iLvl70 materials soon (coke, potash, etc.) and was hoping I could pick the brains of anyone who has already tackled these materials in 2.0. I was planning to wait until I had enough tomstones for 9 coke myself, to get a feel for the synths before I start investing, but if I can gather enough info ahead of time I see no reason not to just get into buying mats.

I'm sure there are others who would benefit from anyone posting their experiences, so I thought I'd start a thread, if anyone has already started a similar thread, feel free to direct me there.

Currently I'm sitting on 347 craft 338 control 336 CP, with access to Ingenuity II & Innovation as far as notable high level abilities. My current synthesis results with ☆ (iLvl 55) synths is 1/3 HQ mats = 80%-100% HQ, >1/3 HQ mats = 100% HQ.

My current plan/assumption is that HQing the ☆☆ 40 durability mats is nearly impossible, and that I will not be risky on these synths at all. I plan to attempt to HQ the intermediary mats (clasps, blades, etc.) and of course, use all HQ mats along the way (other than tomestone items.) But I'm curious what sort of HQ rates people are able to achieve on the various intermediary and final items. Both with and without HQ intermediary items.

If you can post your general HQ rates on these items, what abilities you are using, and what your stats are, I and hopefully many others, would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
