HQ 100% with all skills at level 50 question.

[Stormgeald]

Hi all first off I will be the first to admit that I suck at finding stuff through search I am sure the answer and this question is out there 100 times and if so please just link it in my post.

I have seen plenty of posts with people talking about 100% HQ with lower level skills. What I am looking for is a Macro or way to 100% HQ items for someone that has all the skills at 50 using the least amount of Control, Craftsmanship and CP.

I am also looking for a simple non fail macro to HQ lower level 40 durability items.

Thanks in advance
Storm

Depends on your CP Since you said lower level recipes I assume your talking about ones that can be completed with 1 CS2.
IQ>GS>AT>GS>AT>GS>AT>CS2 For 280 CP Add an IN before 2nd AT if you have 298CP Also HQs most low level items.
Highest Quality gain with no Dur Restoration. So its a single Macro.

If that is not enough Quality to guarantee a HQ then.
With 316 CP, which is a Basic level 50 set(Not class specific CP304), no materia and using CP food.
CZ>IQ>SH2>WN2>BT>BT>BT>BT>SH2>IN>BT>GS>BB>CS2

Will be 4 macros split IQ until last BT between two, then.
You don't want to BB on a Poor, So have 2 ending macros one starting with GS step and one skipping GS and going straight to BB. If the 2nd macro ends on an Excellent use the straight to BB one.

If you have 330(basic level 50 with some CP materia or Food) swap 2nd SH2 with SH and the last BT with ST. 346CP (Possible with basic set capping CP on everything but top)Swap last BT with AT.

Need more than 1 CS2 to complete? But can do it with 1 SS, get 15 more CP and swap. Need 2 CS2 remove 1 BT touch.

I am currently sitting at 364 Craftsmanship, 349 Control and 327 CP without food. And 1 CS2 covers it.

Buy stone soup from one of the NPC's (e.g. south shroud 17, 19).

Then you can use this macro:

Part 1:

/ac "Comfort Zone"<me>
/wait 2.2
/ac "Inner Quiet"<me>
/wait 2.2
/ac "Careful Synthesis II"<me>
/wait 3.2
/ac "Waste Not"<me>
/wait 2.2
/ac "Steady Hand II"<me>
/wait 2.2
/ac "Basic Touch"<me>
/wait 3.2
/ac "Basic Touch"<me>
/wait 3.2
/ac "Basic Touch"<me>

Part 2:

/ac "Basic Touch"<me>
/wait 3.2
/ac "Basic Touch"<me>
/wait 3.2
/ac "Great Strides"<me>
/wait 2.2
/ac "Steady Hand"<me>
/wait 2.2
/ac "Ingenuity"<me>
/wait 2.2
/ac "Standard Touch"<me>

If "EXCELLENT" shows after part 2, manually use Byregot's then Careful Synthesis II x 2.

Part 3:

/ac "Great Strides"<me>
/wait 2.2
/ac "Byregot's Blessing"<me>
/wait 3.2
/ac "Careful Synthesis II"<me>
/wait 3.2
/ac "Careful Synthesis II"<me>

With your stats this would 100% any **80 DURA** craft 1 stars and below.

For 2 star items it should be very close to 100%, but should EXCELLENT condition happen before the first GS, then the final % will be around 90%+, so you may wish to do those manually using this method. Tho the chance to get NQ is very low.

[Stormgeald]

What would I need for stats to be 100% for two stars?

[scarebearz]

Your stats are fine for it, but would need to change the macro to be 4 parts or do manually.

To avoid the chance of using the Standard Touch on a poor condition.
