100% Guaranteed High Quality Tool Items: Absolutely NO RNG!

[scarebearz]

How many steps do you finish your synths in, including Piece by Piece?

30-60 usually lol.

But I don't bother HQ'ing the myth mats usually (putty/cashmere etc).

May not be the most time effective rotation lol, but it is very reliable, does not use Ing II and is something I've been using since the first week of 2.2.

It's really not essential for 3 star crafts ^^

I don't use it at all for my method.

It's more use than the LTW lvl50 skill... but not one I'd suggest rushing.

ARM lvl50 on the other hand, I would make my priority if I were Evian.

Piece by Piece I personally would say is Essential for 3 star crafting with a very high HQ rate.

While three-star crafting is my ultimate goal, my current goal is to obtain my ilvl70 primary tools! There will be no three-star crafting until I get those anyway, so I'm topping off BSM right now so I can use this rotation as it was intended to be used. Once leve allowances build up again, going to top off my ARM for sure so I can three-star craft

Ing II is useful for getting the tools, again I'd not say essential, but you'd save a lot of time having it!

PbP FTW once you get those tools ;D

I suppose if you don't have Ingenuity 2 it's fine. You can get to three star completion in the five steps though, PbP x2, Careful x3 (with Ingenuity 2 on.) Only 50 durability, which would free up 10 durability on those occasions you're using 60 to finish. Whilst three star HQ isn't 'mega difficult' to HQ, there are times RNG is a swine and having that extra step could be the difference between an NQ worth 200k and an HQ worth double.

10 Durability costs 26 2/3CP, using Mend II. (or 29 1/3CP using manipulation)

Your paying 32CP to save 10.

That 32CP would usually prevent me from using a 2nd Mend II, hence costing me 3 touch moves (30 dura).

You can argue that you also use it for your Byregot's, but by needing to fit Byregot's and 3 CS2 into 1 Ing II, then you have less leeway to force a "Good" condition for your Byregot's.

Due to the nerf to Ingenuity, I don't see it as being a great skill for 3 star, thought it can have it's uses.

Two paths, one destination. I'm sure neither of us struggle to HQ with our methods.

@SeleneVenizelos and/or @scarebearz, could either of you point me in the direction of a rotation/macro for the turn-ins required for the master book? It looks like the master book item requirement is a two-star, 40dur crafted item. I can not find any rotation to use! I am fully melded and have my Artisan's Spectacles, but every two-star, 40dur crafted item rotation/macro I've seen makes use of the ilvl70 primary tool! Please help!

O.o

I don't have a set "rotation" or macro, but just do something like this:

CZ
IQ
SH2
Hasty
Hasty
Hasty
Mend 1
Hasty
Hasty
SH2
Hasty
CZ
Mend 1
Hasty
Hasty
Hasty
Mend 1
SH2
Hasty
GS
Ingenuity
Byregot's
CS2
CS2

Use ToT on every "Good", use some CP food if you like.

You can use Manipulation or WN to regain durability to save some CP, but with those stat's I personally would just be lazy and use Mend 1 lol.

I'm sure there are macro's out there for this, but if you want to craft 3 star, this will help you practice using the Hasty method.

Be sure you'll have enough CP left for your finisher, you'll soon get used to judging how many dura restoring skills you can use per craft (varies based on ToT proc's).

BTW, just finished making my last DoH tool, which is Alchemy. Sadly, this is where your rotation cannot reach 100% most of the time because having 1 material which only has NQ availability: Vitriol. Note that my body & accessories were all fully melded, with only my off hand still meld free though. Majority only got averagely 92% and failed into 2-3 NQ.

Only way I can get 100% are having like 3+ great status when I landed my touch/BB skills, or landing an excellent.

I'm taking risk not melding control IV to my off-hand since I don't have any atm. lol
