Heavensword 2* Red Scrip Crafting Rotation

[Lastelli]

Thank you for this rotations Kat, I've recently started working on my off-hands and I could easily HQ 3 of them yesterday. Unfortunately I failed 1, too many HT failed and reclaim failed as well but that's how it goes with crafting :/
Seriously though, if I think about the profit I've forgone to craft this stuff I'm not sure it was worth it I just hope that the new recipes in 3.2 will allow me to make some money.

Welcome and thanks! Sorry you lost something. I have also lost one two star item to date when I failed 6 HTs pretty much in a row. I unfortunately didn't have reclaim loaded at the time. IRONICALLY after loading reclaim that day I haven't had any reason to use reclaim since... that's been like two months. </3 Reclaim.

Thank you for the awesome rotation, been using the rotation quite awhile. So far manage to get all mainhand, chest, accessories and 3 offhands. Yesterday crafted weaver offhand from pure NQ to 100% HQ( <--i have more craft and control from minimum requirement roughly 830/740 with food)

Thanks a lot of the rotation, it has been much more consistent then previous ones I have used.


I have been thinking of trying out the rotation with Muscle Memory over Maker's Mark. Once you get enough Craftsmanship (~819) MuMe + 5xCSII/IngenII is enough for progress, which allows Muscle Memory to take the place of the 6th CSII. The main benefit of it is that it takes 15 steps less for each craft, which when you are making 20 Astral Silk can save a lot of time. What you lose is the almost guaranteed ToT during the 15 steps of Maker's Mark.

Indeed, the advantages of MusMem are that it's so much faster and it only consumes 1 Cross Class. The disadvantages are that it eats up 6 CP instead of having a chance to earn more CP, and it consumes 10 durab instead of zero from MaMa. Given enough stats, I think MusMem is a valid thing to use to speed things up. One just needs to remember to switch back to MaMa for the final products. However, switching between 2 different rotations can sometime cause chaos... One gotta be very conscious to avoid confusion between the two.

[Ermad]

It uses the same base amount of CP as MaMa, since MaMa+CZ = 6CP. So you are just using the 10 extra durability, which is made up for by being able to drop a CSII. Sometimes you are able to drop that CSII with MaMa, but you need pretty good Flawless Synths so you can't rely on it and it only gives you an extra non-SH2 Hasty Touch (which always fail!). So the only advantage I can really see to MaMa is the near guaranteed ToT during it.

I would use this for final products as well, since I always take Reclaim for those because really bad Hasty Touches can screw you no matter what. Only GSM has enough Cross Class to take both ToT and Reclaim, so you wouldn't see the MaMa benefit for the other classes.

I was considering doing the same. The problem I ran into was that at around 800 Craftsmanship you can flip over to Ingenuity I (which is something I need to highlight on the front page, but I've been too lazy too). In which case you get 16 CP back so if you can scare up 2 extra CP that's a free Percise/basic. The problem is that when you try to flip to Muscle Memory you need Ingenuity II in order to get the same distance (since you have one less Careful Synth benefiting from the buff). So you loose the Flawless proc and your Ingenuity I's extra CP.

That flustered me super hard when I saw that in the simulator. So I still have't found a Muscle memory rotation I would flip back to over what I'm doing now. Which I HATE because I concur... flawless synths are freaking long (ungawa).

I hate reclaim so much. The one time I needed reclaim was three months ago... since then I haven't needed to reclaim once. Though I have had ~3 shoddy end synths, they were all glamor items. The rarity I use reclaim is so vast I have an extremely difficult time justifying it being on my bar.
