    Touch up is for finished products. It's a realistic pattern. No one is putting detail into lumber...but they will put detail into a mask, or a wand, etc. That's common sense of people translated into game terms. The items that are meant to last are what are allowed to be touched up.

    I'd like to state that the majority of my crafts do not involve touch up. I am mostly culinarian and alchemist, yet I am not outraged or feel it's unfair that I do not have touch up. It makes sense because not only are the products we are making basically 'consumable' but they are also several in number. It doesn't make sense to be touching up 6 tuna Miqa'bobs...but it would make sense to touch up something that can only stack to 1. If there were like a magical birthday cake that I could make that could only stack to 1, then I definitely think I should have it for touch up. Otherwise, it really doesn't make any sense.

    Edit: Also, at a high rank, even with NQ materials you can aim for HQ results, depending on the synth, so it isn't 'necessary' to be making all your lumber +2 or +3, nor would it make much sense to be doing so in an easier fashion. It's from a mass production standpoint that makes those synths quantity over quality. If you happen to get HQ results then that is really lucky and showing your original materials + your skill bringing quality in your 'consumable' materials.
