This.

Quick synthing + failure also grants you the same spiritbond gain as a successful synth.

If I'm quick synthing 800 Rosewood Lumber the 1-10% loss is surely negligible for my purposes. It already grants 50% of normal XP with only a 1-10% chance to fail, along with a similar chance to HQ. I agree that a 25%+ chance to fail is unacceptable when you significantly outlevel the synth but they seem to have fixed this in one of the early patches. If you truly NEED 15 of some item and can't afford a failure you can synth them normally. If you don't care about the loss you can quick synth 20, have 15+ normals and sell 1-2HQ to offset your losses. This is one feature that does not need to be tampered with.
