I have yet to find a rotation for Ala Mhigan that doesn't use the combination of Maker's Mark, Flawless Synthesis, Manipulation II and Comfort Zone like those have used above. However once you get one piece crafted (I usually start with the chest) I would say the hardest part is over Even with all Ala Mhigan crafted gear and tools I still use Maker's Mark/Flawless Synthesis to create new Ala Mhigan stuff...tho I do wonder if there is an alternative now I have around 1500/1500/465 stats. IMO I still consider Ala Mhigan gear the most difficult to craft even over the new 3 star stuff.
