Announcing the FFXIV Crafting Optimizer

[Kenji1134]

Yeah, I dont think that Ingenuity considerations are in the system yet.

Um, I can say this much. With 392 craftsmanship, on an 3 star recipe, my Careful Synthesis 2 does 40 without any buffs and 70 with Ingenuity 2. Also, with 416 craftsmanship and Ing2, CS2 does 75... I think, maybe 74.

From another thread:
423 craftsmanship, Ingenuity II, , still only hitting for 95 with Standard Synthesis and 76 with Careful Synthesis II on the 3 stars. PbP hits for 146 on the first use and 98 on the second.

The big thing with the 3 star recipes is getting the progress component done... But in a reliable way.
Although you can just do Rapid Synthesis a few times, the max 80% chance really make it... unappealing.
Though I guess there are things like SH2 PbPx2 Rapid Synth, which would bring it down to 48 progress, then a non-ingenuity Standard Synth would finish it off... But you would have to do that at the end, under Ingenuity2... which wont leave you with enough CP for Reclaim if Rapid fails.
Or you have to use Ing2 twice, which is a sizeable 32 CP...

Yeah, those 3 stars are gonna be tough.
I am just thinking from a coding perspective, you would need to include a section that has 2 Piece by Piece actions under Steady Hand 1/2. And then a section which has 2-3 CS2 or similar under Ingenuity 2 in order to ensure that we actually finish the synth.
Additionally, you will also need to put Byregot's under Ingenuity 2, since the penalty for using it without Ing2 is REALLY steep.
