4 Star Master Books - Completely frustrating and unfun.

[Kalandros]

Way to go square enix for ruining crafting that way.

Reclaiming due to bad RNG, still lose mats often
No 'Good' proc for Byregots, press Byregots and out comes an Excellent next step.

These tokens have really killed the fun of getting into 4 star territory.

Keep adding RNG and there will be no point in even trying anymore.

It's like a trial!

And if you can get this book, the actual 4 star crafts are easier!

I thought they were really good. They even made FCIII cheap to make them easier. Also, players who know what they are doing are going to HQ these at a perfectly acceptable rate.

If you're bad at books, you'll just be bad at 4* when you're making crafts that cost 10x as much.

I've wasted 30 FCIIIs to failed Reclaims so far, thats whats pissing me off the most. And some streaks of 3-4 failed HT in a row under SHII buff is just ridiculous.
Sure I've managed 6 books but the last 5 tokens I need are just not happening with this stupid bad luck.

RNG is incredibly annoying to deal with.

I wouldnt mind if they were NQ at least but no, they are completely wasted due to reclaim's "10%" fail rate.

Failed reclaim ... 3 times in a row ... I don't understand!

[Kalandros]

and got NQ 3 times in a row with 64 84 and 96% for my final book's last token

Truly, RNG is the future!

Best you can do really is get your craftsmanship high enough to progress in 6 steps, and maximize your CP through melds and food.

...and hope you get 10-11 stacks along with a good/excellent.

That is what ive been doing obviously.

RNG is screwed for 3.9 and above but SE says it's working as intended, so we just have to deal with it.

And once again as in many topics, I'm with you I've lost the count on fails at 90% on reclaim or Byregot Blessing, the countless fails in a row on HT @ 80% success.
But once you get used to it, it's not that hard anyway and 4* are way easier.

Don't give up.

i had the most fun unlocking carpenter. can go through the whole synth process right up to hitting Byregots.

if condition is good/excellent. hit byregots.
if condition is normal. Rumination . then reclaim.

keep repeat till you get good/excellent with byregots and 11IQ stacks ^^.

LTW is maybe the hardest. also i find weaver is a bit hard as well. Alchemist and Cul should be easy. i will use the rumination method for them.
