(long and short, I need 9 IQ stacks to 100% with my stats - My rotation gets me 7) All I got was 86% NQ Junk. That's the stuff your 60 set was designed to make. The way we gear right now is 4 star set to 4 star set because that set needs to be able to make leaps that cancel out all the gear in the following expansion. Once they give the template for 4 star 70 you will be geared to 80.
You have me very lost... You said you're in i290 gear, so that means you're level 70... You have 1347 craft, 1114 control and 420 CP, so that's not too bad for a level 70. Maybe will have trouble with the Storm Blood 2 star items, but definitely more than enough for any level 68 or lower recipes. I supposed "4 star 60" refers to Heavensward 4 star level 60 items, so they would be much lower recipe level than 68. So you should have plenty of stats for it... You said you rotation is only IQ7, but with you stats, should be able to reach IQ9 at least without much problems (and without too much RNG involved). Are you not using any CP food at all? Would you like to tell me the rotation you used? Perhaps I can help out?
