At least having the best of the best and maxed everything should at least give you a betther chance and not about just 70% chance!
Yes, I am a crafter who does three-star crafts. I recently finished a set of Ruby accessories for my brother, all HQ, no NQ failures.

I love the fact that there's an element of risk involved. There's no 100% rotations that will get the job done. You need to carefully consider each step of the synth, every step of the way. Comfort Zone just wore - should I use another, or will the synth be done before ten more steps? I haven't gotten a lot of Goods this run, and I doubt I'm going to get more than 80% Quality; should I Reclaim and scrap it, or hope that 80% pans out?

Using your brain, calculating probabilities to max out your chances, rather than mindlessly spamming a 100% rotation you found on the Internet - this is what crafting really SHOULD be about! It's a step up from FFXI's crafting system since you have some control over whether you HQ or not, and it's also a step up from 1- and 2-star crafting where you could churn out HQ results with your eyes closed.
