Only 5 Abilities can be used????

[rocky]

so Piece by Piece and Master's meld are the 2 Have-to-Have

130 durability and 30 progress to start with.
I was making +1 dark-steel nuggets last night using only +1 iron ore and 2 NQ DS ore

I changed it up some for Darksteel nuggets, rivets, plates, and ingots

Byregot's Blessing (+100% Quality 3 steps)

Improvise (+200% Quality 3 steps, needs Elemental Instability)

Fit for Kings (+50% Quality 3 steps)

Master's Mend (+30 Great amount of Durability back)

Piece by Piece (+30% Progress -0 Durability)

what gear u using?
i tried similar combo last night with 1/10 chance for +1. most i got is like +600 quality, normally is around +500 quality per craft

Were you using at least one HQ ingredient? I'm finding I get that quality on most synths with all NQ ingredients, so I can imagine it was primarily the HQ ore that put the quality over the edge to a good HQ rate.

sorry, didn't quote the post from green.
he said that he had used 1 HQ iron and 2 darksteel NQ, to get good rate of HQ, u need to be over 50% that is around 800 quality need, i found i have trouble to get it with those ingredient, might be my gear is not good enough?
i use all + craftmanship gears, should use + magic craftmanship?

control build to keep from destabilizing.
magic craft helps keep the color for the orb from changing to red or yellow.
and crafting helps success. you need all 3.
Plus the stats to give more quality.
with this build and those skills. you should get to 80% progress with 60 durability and 400 quality then go Elemental Instability and pop Improvise to get 150-300 more quality giving you 25%+ chance to HQ,
1/4 i think is better then farming for an hour to get 14 HQ ore giving you 7/7 HQ per hour

btw if u can get 14 HQ darksteel ore, that means u can make 14 +1 nuggets with 2/3 HQ material there.
