The promised crafting system of "HQ mats = HQ result"

[Spider-Dan]

If you read my post, you'd know its possible to guarantee a HQ on any recipe lower than you level and almost guarantee a HQ on the highest recipes in the game. Maybe yoshida should have put a disclaimer on the 100% statement that said "if crafted correctly, guaranteed HQ"

Your post is incorrect.

Undyed Woolen Cloth is an R45 synth. On my R50 WVR, exclusively using HQ materials (and therefore starting at 500 quality), I have yet to reach 1000 quality (i.e. 100% HQ rate) a single time. (In fact, I have yet to reach 1000 quality on any synth ever, though I will say that I don't exactly spend a lot of time trying to make HQ synths of extremely low level recipes.)

You should also keep in mind that this is while using abilities from my R50 CRP and R36 ALC. I think it is completely fair to say that unless a synth is far below your level, reaching 1000 quality with the abilities from your own class is virtually impossible. You need to have a fairly broad variety of high level DoH (in conjunction with full HQ mats) to consistently break 90% HQ rate on anything closer than 10 levels below you.

If you have a strategy for consistently reaching 1000 quality on a synth within 10 levels of you, I look forward to hearing it.
