More than 451 Craft / 407 Control - Do you need it?

455 was just a guess; 451 is a no, 457 is a yes, so somewhere in between.

Hmmm... I tried a reputable crafting simulator, www.ffxivcrafter.com, and have discovered that 454 Craftsmanship seems to be that magic number you're looking for with the rotation you mentioned (PbP > RSx2 > CS2x2). I don't know where 455 and 457 are coming from, since they seem to be overkill. It also doesn't seem to make a difference with lower difficulty synths.

Also, this whole "407 Control" business has me confused. If you meld your gear properly, then you end up with 409 Control (assuming you put NONE on your offhand, and aren't using Control food)... so why am I seeing 407?

Be careful with the crafting simulator and 4* and some 3* recipes. People have mentioned that its innaccurate but the author is working on it.

Ok thanks! I guess I'll wait it out a bit then, it may be that Lyrinn is right and it's 453 that's needed. I could probably try testing these myself on a few recipes by using different foods/gear to reach the appropriate numbers, but the synths are hella-expensive and I'm not so sure about blowing away those materials on "tests" lol
