3* Crafting Rotations

[Lilianne]

So I am one of those people that believes in sharing of info and I really appreciated the work of another poster here in helping out the community by posting a frame for what was working for 3* HQ. Putting this here in the hopes that other crafters can help refine this rotation down to something so that we can all have an equal chance at making these new items and sharing in the wealth.

Need HQ materials to start at around 1k quality.

Then: CZ > IQ > SH2 > PbP x2 > Basic Touch/Hasty Touch (Depending on your CP)> Masters Mend II (@20/80 Dura)> Refresh CZ when it wears off (Should be around this time) > SH2 > Basic Touch/Hasty Touch (again depending on how CP is) > Start finishing rotation @ 40 Durability left > SH > GS >Ing2 > Innovation (if you have CP) > Byregot's Blessing > CSII x3.

One thing to note is that for the finishing rotation of SH/GS/Ing2/Byregots you need 110 cp.

Any additions to this would be wonderful and I hope this helps people^^

EDIT: Originally made by Lyrinn, then later removed by them. I re-posted so the information can live.

I used this rotation earlier and it only got me to around 84% hq (8 iq stacks). Might want to go ahead and use a couple of those hasty's on a good proc rather than ToT. I wish I could fit in a waste not or 2 in there to get a couple more inner quiet stacks but it seems 388 cp isn't enough unless you are really lucky with procs.

Please let us know ur craftsmanship that u have for cs2x3 to work to eventually establish a minimum threshold. Control/cp arent as imprtant right now with the hasty touch method.

[Royal]

And what do u mean "depending on ur cp"? Use ToT when up and use basic touch when over 100 cp but hasty when 100i cp (as an example).

Will definitely be trying this rotation out this week when I have to make the Robe of Healing for one of my FC mates. Thanks!

That's because OP left out a couple of tips that lets you get around that, but I suppose that's what happens when someone decides to copy/paste without giving credit.

If you want more details, feel free to /tell me in-game. I refuse to post anything helpful again on these forums if someone is just going to steal my work.

I agree with you lyrinn. I figured out the extra steps, and i've been hq'ing with your rotation. You can move some of the rotation forward or backward to allow a hit on good or excellent touches. Also you can do the same with byregots on good or excellent and hold it off until last second after 1 careful sytha has passed. I've HQ'd every armor piece and even hq'd around 4 stacks of terminus putty. I unlocked all the masterbooks/crafting tools/etc so, it's good not to have to depend on bought hq matts when you can make them yourself.

You can also throw in another Ingenuity (I, not II) or Innovation (not saying where, /tell if interested), CP allowing, and squeeze out even more quality. This was something I was playing around with until the OP rudely accused me of being selfish - because if I was selfish, I would've shared instead of keeping it a secret like 99% of all the other high crafters, amirite? - and decided to repost.

Yet again you decide to take insult for *removing* the information without any explanation, and then me reposting it so it lived on. I had been sending people on my server to your post as guidance for 3*, all of them started telling me that you had edited out the info and that it was gone so I reposted it. If

is insulting to you because I didn't name you *when you took down the info* then so be it. You could have easily put in a note saying that it was down for you to work on the rotation some, there are plenty of ways of doing that without removing the info completely out of the blue.

Yes, I was very happy to see this back up! I was just starting use it and then it got deleted like 20 minutes later. I figured that it was gone for good and I had not saved it, nor did I remember it. What does it matter if your username is mentioned, though? Popularity on forums? You could have just simply asked for the OP of this thread to name if you but you just made accusations.

I want to thank you and the OP, though. You for making the original rotation and the OP of this thread for reposting it so I could continue to use it.
