Skill Rotation for 80 Durability 2 Star Crafting:
- "Inner Quiet"
- "Steady Hand II"
- "Basic Touch"
- "Basic Touch"
- "Basic Touch"
- "Basic Touch"
- "Basic Touch"
- "Manipulation"
- "Steady Hand"
- "Standard Touch"
- (If you got Excellent Condition, use Byregot's Blessing)
- "Great Strides" note: No need to use Great Strides if you use Byregot's Blessing on an excellent condition after the Standard Touch.
- (If you got Excellent Condition, use Byregot's Blessing)
- "Ingenuity" note: if you use Byregot's Blessing on an excellent condition after Great Strides, don't forget to use Ingenuity after it.
- "Byregot's Blessing"
- "Standard Synthesis"
- "Careful Synthesis"
- "Careful Synthesis"
Total CP cost: 370

Note: The whole rotation will leave you 10 more durability and you can consume that by using "Hasty Touch" after "Inner Quiet". It's actually not needed but it's a free step so why not take it.
Newbie crafter here (most classes to 15 and Cooking to 37, slowly levelling Carpenter!)

Can I ask what is probably a silly question... why do you need to use 1x 'Standard Synthesis' + 2x 'Careful Synthesis I' at the end if you have 10 spare durability...?
Why not just 4x 'Careful Synthesis I'? Wouldn't that save 15 CP, for 355 instead of 370?

(The only other thing I can see would be to level 50 Alchemy and use Comfort Zone at the start to drop the CP requirement to 341 CP... but obviously that'd involve leveling yet another class to 50)
I'm trying to pin down a good "100% HQ" rotation for endgame that requires as few forbidden melds as possible, so every little -CP helps!
