I think I just suck at crafting...

To fit in two master mend skills, you'd want some CP melds, CP food and probably comfort zone, unless you have really high CP. However, this isn't necessarily required anymore if you can minimize the amount of progress steps and use skills like precise touch.

The point of Hasty Touch is to prevent yourself from becoming CP starved while getting the same Touch efficiency as Precise Touch. If you're trying to Precise Touch to push Quality and then try to reserve CP for BB, you might have some trouble(Especially running no Comfort Zone and using Master's Mend)

You wont need CP for more durability if you dont fail hasty touches. With 397 CP and no craft/control melded in HQ60 gear i can get to a chance of 80-95% with only using 1-2 Hasty touch (80% if it fails 95% if it doesnt and depending on how many good i get to precise touch) from NQ materials and only using Basic touches to get to 11 stacks on the rest. When you get CP back from good/excellent when steady hand II isnt up it will be easy enough.

The only time i went back to using Hasty touches to progress and using Tricks only for CP was to HQ some lvl 60 1-star greens. As you need Ingenuity I/II on them to be able to make Byregot work in the end and to get good progress steps that are higher then 120 points (*sigh*)

On everything that has not a star it is easily HQable from NQ mats. Please note: I'm not talking leveling a craft, neither 60 1-star crafting, but crafting with lvl 60 HQ equip on the left side (59 belt, 57 rings, 58 bracelet 59 neck) with only melded CP @ 397 total.

Reaching 100% on anything 51-60 non star craft is childs play if you stop giving in to the Hasty 80% rng crap. If you fail 2 Hasty touches you WILL have a hard time reaching 100% if you don't make enough CP back to get those 20 durability back (which will cost you at least 60CP if you want to restore them). Just Basic/precise touch it to 11 and you get an easy 4000 quality boost in the end. The more stacks you get with precise faster, the more control you have on the following touches otw to 11 IQ stacks, and sometimes 10 or hell even 9 stacks are enough because you got to 20% HQ chance before by touching on goods/excellents. (not to mention a basic touch with 11 stacks is 700+(!) quality)

If i bothered to Meld my gear for control and used food for 40-50 CP it would be possible without ANY hasty touch.

So dont brush it off with "you still need to use it."

no, you don't - 60 non star crafting is trivial and macroable, the same as it was at 2.0 release with anything non star.

When AF gear comes out in 8 days it will be even easier because its i160+ and the stats on the new tools will help a lot. And thats when you can HQ with a macro without any melds other then CP
