the crafting in FFXIV is horrible one thing i hate about the game i dont care about the success/failure rate the system its self is a pure time sink.

there is NO effort put into that system at all. theres games 10 years old or close to it that have way better systems SWG, fallen earth, eve online just to name a few.
Only if you don't want a HQ item. If you want to make a HQ item, you need to use the right skills to increase your quality bar without the durability bar hit the 0 before the success bar reach 100%.

In other games you just hit a button and then you have the item or not. This I call a mindless crafting system.
