100% High Quality Two Star Rotation: No Food, NQ Materials, No RNG

[scarebearz]

I just tested the same thing and mine blew up. 1 Progress short.

wth?

How can all your tests be so freaking different lolz. xD

If you don't mind please, can you set your craft to 392 exactly, start a cheap craft you can afford to NQ and do Ing2 - CS2 - CS2. If you don't mind please.

You should be getting 117 progress per hit and need 233 to finish a 80 dura 2 star.

Read my edit, sorry!

This macro is awesome. Thank you! I think it would be best to reorder some of the skills. That way Ingenuity II is efficiently applied to all the touches and Careful Synthesis II.

01 - Comfort Zone
02 - Inner Quiet
03 - Steady Hand II
04 - Ingenuity II
05 - Basic Touch
06 - Basic Touch
07 - Basic Touch
08 - Basic Touch
09 - Careful Synthesis II
10 - Great Strides
11 - Steady Hand II
12 - Ingenuity II
13 - Advanced Touch
14 - Great Strides
15 - Innovation
16 - Byregot's Blessing
17 - Careful Synthesis II

On step 15, check for excellent, if it is, skip it.

;D

From a quick glance Korwin's amendment does appear to be an improvement. (I'd still change the 2nd SH2 to SH1 personally ;P)

[SeleneVenizelos]

Yeah, that's an excellent change. Lowers the chance of RNG screwing you over on a poor if you're not paying attention. This is the kind of improvements that makes me love sharing these macros. People always have a different perspective to you. And yeah, you can lower the CP requirement by 3 by changing hands, but it's moot for most people since they'll be at 345 for Artisan synthing anyway. I literally never personally use Steady Hand unless my CP really depends on it (ie, on 3 Stars)

Just lowers the entry requirements (i.e. more accessible), as many don't fully capped stat's, as it's not needed currently. ^^

I've changed the original post's rotation and macros to add in Korwin's changes, as it makes the rotation more efficient, giving more leeway for Poors potentially appearing on key steps. Make sure to update your macros!

Does this macro work with 394 Craftsmanship and 374 Control? I went for economical melds for my non-WVR offhands, and wound up with those stats. which are only a couple points short of what you stated was required.

[Bunsen]

Am I missing something? I'm curious.. Why is this macro better than the other 2 star 100% HQ with NQ mats NO food that doesn't require the high stats and new tool? Am I missing that this is 2 star mastery? Seems to be the same number of steps and it is a 2 button macro. Ya it uses hasty touch, but it is still 100%.

My rotation only needs to be max meld with lvl 50 quest tool:

50 Alchemy
50 Weaver
50 Carpenter
37 Culinary
15 Blacksmith
15 Leatherworker

Craftsmanship: 359
Control: 351
CP: 345 (Only 341 is needed for this rotation)

There is a lot of leeway in finished quality, as this reaches much higher than necessary. It should be okay, give it a try. The important part is the +1 Craftsmanship so you have 392, or else the synth will blow up on the final step rather than finishing.

Ya it uses hasty touch, but it is still 100%.

If your rotation uses Hasty Touch, it is not 100%. It might reach 100% fairly often but there's still times it won't. This rotation will, every single attempt. That's the difference. I myself despise relying on RNG as it's such a brutally cruel mistress. I sought to remove RNG from the equation and that's what I made here.

As I clearly stated in the original post, this rotation is not for people without Artisan Tools. Yours is and I'm sure it's a good rotation. Share a link to it so people reading this who might not have their Artisans can use it.
