first get the lvl 15 alchemist skill <Tricks Of The Trade>

try

inner quiet > steady hand > manipulation > basic touch > basic touch > basic touch and so on. and if u have enough cp always keep up steady hand
(if u have enough CP u can use standard touch or mix basic and standard)

if u get good befor or after manipulation always use trick of the trade

this way really keeps your cp up if u get some good

hopfe it helps u craft a bit better :3

(if i wrote any mistakes i'm sry. i'm german and my english not the best )
