how do YOU HQ items?

Your synthesis fails if durability is reduced to 0 before the progress is complete.
There is no direct relationship between HQ% and failure rate.

Thanks for the reply. I just find crafting so random on results.
I have crafted for example items of around 20% HQ, turned them in and did other quests, came back to craft exact same item with the same steps and cannot get to even 5%
heck sometimes Basic Synthesis fails from the start.
I have made a macro for cotton however and it seems to be more consistent then doing it manually.
