Elasia's Mass Manufacturing 3 Star HQ Macros

[scarebearz]

True. Could you give me a couple examples of how manual crafting could be better? I would like to begin manual crafting myself, but I just don't think I know how and when during the synthesis I could benefit from it. For example, I would be torn between using a "Good" for a HQ increase or CP increase. I would appreciate any and all help, you don't have to write something long out, but it's about time I learn how to take advantage of manual crafting. Thanks

I'll try and explain... xD

For the basic Hasty Method, you need to use Tricks of the Trade on *every* "good" condition for the first 75% of the whole craft at least. The idea is to keep topping you CP up as much as possible. It's almost always better to use Tricks than trying to get more quality early on.

It does not matter if you have Steady Hands up, the CP gain from Tricks out-weighs the CP loss from losing 1 Steady Hands Stack.

Depending on how many ToT proc's I get, depends on when I'll be using progress or quality gaining skills.

Always aim to use Master's Mend II as your main Dura restoring skill, ideally twice on a 3 star craft if you get enough ToT proc's to leave you enough CP for your finishing moves after.

Refresh Comfort Zone as soon as it expires *as long as you know you'll have more than 10 steps left and will use the CP given by the last stack*. For 3 star I always use CZ at least twice, but frequently 3 times. (can be more even)

ToT proc's help to regain CP from the skill itself, but also helps you to use up CZ stacks. (With the hasty method your basically trying to make the craft use as many steps as possible, while keeping the CP ready for your finisher)

If you need to use a dura gaining skill, but wont have the CP left for the finishing moves, Manipulation is a good skill to use.

When finishing, try to force a "Good" condition on the Byregot's by either using Innovation or a Progress skill in between the Great Strides.


Needs practice, so you can get used to knowing when to use Mend 2 or Manipulation, so I'd suggest trying on 3 star food
