Quick Synthesis: Please Adjust!

[Roth_Trailfinder]

Quick Synthesis should look at your enabled skills. If you have Careful Synthesis (or Careful Synthesis 2) either because you are that class or because you have slotted it in as a cross class ability, then it should be using that rather than Basic Synthesis.

That said - Basic Synthesis has a 90% chance of success. That means, a 10% chance of failure. If the 40 Durability recipe takes one Basic Synthesis to complete, then Quick Synthesis should currently have four shots at finishing it successfully - and though not impossible, the odds of failing all four are 10% x 10% x 10% x 10% ... or 0.01%. We should not be failing more than one in one thousand if the Quick Synthesis is using Basic Synthesis and it only takes one to finish it.

even more annoying is fact that i can manually synth a stack faster then quick synth can and have no fails it seems to be setup completely to make ppl not use it so why even waste the time putting it in game?

So you can setup 100 synths of a basic component and go eat a sammich or something.

Personally I think the ability to essentially be able to afk and craft has to have some level of risk involved, regardless if you're synthing a level 2 or level 42 item. It's frustrating to see 2 fails in a row on something so low level, but over several synths it averages out. If you don't want to deal with the failures then just manually craft it as the poster above suggests.
