Manipulation

[Ksenia]

I've come to find my beginning actions on my DoH is, Inner Quiet, Great Strides(3 turns), Steady Hands(5 turns), Waste Not(4 turns)...this leaves me with one turn for Great Strides and 4 for Steady Hands and Waste Not. Although I've come to realization that my rotation of actions change depending on the item "condition". I bypass my steps for any "excellent" condition...

I read a guide to crafting and Waste Not is cheaper in CP than Manipulation...56 for two extra turns or 88 for 3, not much but a couple CP can be the difference between HQ and NQ

Waste Not does make Manipulation redundant. It seems to be a slightly better option than Masters Mend if Waste Not isn't available to you. If you have ran all craft classes to 15 though it gets put in the dust bin.
