But this time my durability makes big problem even while using manipulation.:/
In my experience, when learning how to do these synths, keep going even if your Rapid Syntheses are failing. However, in practice... I like to know if my synth is going to fail early on. I use Muscle Memory and look to couple it with any combination of Veneration, Malleable and Centered. I fire off a Rapid Synthesis the first time I have any combination of those up. And if another Malleable Centered or Sturdy shows up after the Muscle Memory buff is down but Veneration is still up, I fire off another one.

If I have no progress after those 5 steps, I just cancel and start again.

These recipes are a numbers game. There are only so many failures you can take on without needing absurd luck with states like Good and Primed to counteract it. I found a direct correlation between how poorly the first 10 steps go with the odds that I actually finish. There are times when I tired to save a 50ish step synth only to be fortunate enough to get a Good on Byregot's and STILL wind up short. In other words, this synth probably wasn't saveable at step 10. So why am I on step 50?
