Well that's what I do at least... so it doesn't make it "harder" to have more mats just more things to buy and more time / money to use lol.
yeah, shouldn't take rocket science to see how 100% hq rates by standard bashing a synth is easier than using abilities, touch ups, bold synthesis, and waiting when needed.......

when i make an item i either craft the parts myself or farm them myself. when i want to make a piece of finished gear for myself i always use all hq items at least +1. there's no way i am going to spend the outrageous prices for hq parts from the wards on my server. 500k for a iron rivet hq? no thank you. if i want a piece of hq gear i do my own gathering and craft up the items i need.
