how do YOU HQ items?

[Maero]

Also like to know this. So far have only crafted one item 100% quality, other times while crafting, it would shoot straight to 100% and then synthesis would fail.
Currently i find anywhere from 8% to 25% HQ is the easiest, anything past it has a high failure rate (for me anyhow)

Your synthesis fails if durability is reduced to 0 before the progress is complete.
There is no direct relationship between HQ% and failure rate.

You need steady hand II to be successful with hasty touch. It is a huge improvement to hasty touch success rate.

Out of 5 attempts with SH / SH2 active:

# of successes / % chance with SH / % chance with SH2
0 / 0.24 / 0.03
1 / 2.84 / 0.64
2 / 13.23 / 5.12
3 / 30.87 / 20.48
4 / 36.02 / 40.96
5 / 16.81 / 32.77

So you can see you are twice as likely to hit 5/5 successful hasty touches using SH2 vs SH1. With SH1, you will hit 3 or less nearly half of the time. With SH2, you will hit 3 or less about 25% of the time.

I have some rules, there no possible use a recipe because condition is random. This is useful to crafters up to lvl 49.

1) Always start with Inner Quiet

2) If you have good condition but don't have an active Great Stride => Trick and Trade

3) Activate Steady Hand always and before Great Stride

4) After Great Stride, use Observer/Synthesis/SteadyHand if condition is poor or normal*

5) refer to 4), only use Syn if you need more than 1 hit in order to finish

6) refer to 4), use Steady Hand if you don't have Steady Hand or remains 1 step.

7) if condition is excelent, you can risk if you want and use Standard Touch

8) if you have 60/70/80 durability and you run out of CP, use Hasty Touch and Rumination

9) * also you can use Ingenuity if the lvl item is higher

100% HQ unless you Greater strides(Excellent) >> Blessing (Poor) So easy even a caveman can do it.

Can you link the site where you got the picture from please? I cannot find it anymore or remember where it is.

At the high end, it basically boils down to as long as you have Ingen (1 star or higher recipes)+ Innov + GS on your Byregot it almost doesn't even matter what you were doing prior to that step. Before you get to that stage it's a bit more interesting to figure out a good rotation, but once you have Byregot's Blessing, it is just so overpowered that you can pretty much HQ anything.

Thanks for the reply. I just find crafting so random on results.
I have crafted for example items of around 20% HQ, turned them in and did other quests, came back to craft exact same item with the same steps and cannot get to even 5%
heck sometimes Basic Synthesis fails from the start.
I have made a macro for cotton however and it seems to be more consistent then doing it manually.
