4 Star Master Books - Completely frustrating and unfun.

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 ^^.

This is not skill, this is binary logic dictated entirely by RNG. And sadly the only solution is to keep trying the same thing until RNG decides to give you what you want.
There is no real player skill in this kind of crafting.

You don't need to have good/excellent to get 70%+ and having Rumination on your x-class skills list is a wasted of a much needed space. You'll know well in advance if you need to reclaim or not.

Now, we are "elite" crafters, and WE ARE DOING THE SAME DAMN THING!

That's the thing though, we are not all doing the same thing.

I have seen numerours hand-in/4* "rotations" and almost all have them have been bad advice (in my opinion). If you have to rely on following a semi-fixed rotation, you will be under-performing craft-wise.

These hand-ins and 4* crafts are situational and your rotation should be adapting as the synth progresses. Adapting in the most optimal manner seperates the different crafters in terms of "skill".


Crafting is like dps'ing as a BLM, if you do well, those who under-perform blame RNG xD


@xPeAcEx: Why WN2? xD That's got to me my least favourite lvl50 skill personally ^^

I won't lie, it used to be my least favorite as well. I felt like too many steps were being wasted. Depending on how my rotation is going before the first MM II

3-4 Tots: Go into a MMII repeat rotation which include 14 80% HTs and has enough to finish with both GS, INNO and BB. It doesn't matter if we have 395 or 398 CP, we need 5 or 6 ToTs throughout the entire synth. 35-37 steps roughly.

Less than 3 ToTs: go into a WNII rotation, which depending on how it goes and CP available will have enough to proc a MM and recover 30 dura. Which has a minimum 12 80% HTs, 15 at 80% if you recover enough cp since i usually manage to fit in a 3rd full or clipped CZ as well. Now whether you choose to go SH II + WN II or WN II + SH II is something you will have to decide on the stop, i prefer SH II + WN II since it gives me a chance to proc ToT.

Scarebearz gets 4*, there is no rotation.
You have to feel it out, calculate your CP, adapt on the fly.

I rarely nq a 4* item. Sometimes i have to do it 5,6,7 times to Hq using reclaim... And yes, sometimes reclaim fails me, but I'd estimate I sit at least an 85% Hq rate and I've done hundreds of 4* synths.

4* is a ton of fun, is stress... But, it's eustress.
