2* 100% HQ token item NQ 1* mat (full melds required)

If you have full melds, you can easily complete the recipe with INGII and only 3x CSII.

I've found it faster just to 2-step the mats and do a manual synth. 40 HQ brocades takes about 70 minutes, including mats. Using macros to HQ 2 of the mats then another for the synth itself would take over 90 minutes.

that is very true. however, when I used ING2, I had to lose a touch in order to have the CP for the difference, which resulted in ~90% HQ. I Loathe Hasty touch, and have steadfastly refused to do any crafts that require it for HQ.

This is mainly to find a clear use for all the NQ spruce lumber that is received from desynthing bridesmaid sandals for FC3's. this allows them to be turned into mastercrafts, which greatly increases the profit margin.

edit: also, this doesn't require full melds of crafts, only CP and, to a lesser extent, control. Crafts can actually be below supra level if preferred

edit 2: actually, with how low horn glue is to HQ, the macro I use (IQ, GS, SH, inno, AT, GS, AT, BB, CS2) for it takes 24 seconds to complete. +3 seconds between, so lets say 30 secs per. plus 54 seconds for this macro, would be 76 minutes total per 40 HQ plywoods. personally, that's close enough for me, to not have to worry about manual synths. of course, this is assuming you don't make the lumber yourself, and had already obtained it through the desynth.

also, if my calculations are correct, this also works for 1 HQ twin, 1 NQ twin, 1 NQ silver ingot.
