    Quick synthesis does not use 'basic synthesis X 4' because if it did, on things I can finish in one basic synthesis there would be 1 in 10000 chance to fail, yet I can easily get 2 fails in a 50 batch of quick synthesis stuff and the chance of that happening is less than 1 in 10000 (there are less than 10000 ways to order 2 fails in 50 attempts). It's not a big deal either way but I wish you wouldn't fail on things you can finish in a single basic synthesis.

    Wrong. The effect isn't cumulative. There is a 10% chance to fail EVERY single time. As I said it's extremely unlikely for this to happen, but it's still possible

    So what do you think the chance is to fail an item that can be completed in one basic synthesis is? You obviously do not understand even simple probability if you got anything other than 1 in 10000 (failing all 4 basic synthesis in a row is the only way to fail this item). Given it's not uncommon to observe failures in quick synthesis, it's nearly certain that it isn't even generous enough to give you 4 basic synthesis, because it'd be pretty hard to fail most items if that's what it did.
