Why is a Level 50 culinarian failing Quick synthing maple surger?

[warren-ragnarok]

first off, i wanna ask same thing, but different situation, hempen yarn as a 50 weaver with careful synthesis 2 and full hq af gear fail 10% of the time

second, i wanna add in, for this game, we do not call it the RNG, but rather the RFG (random f***you generator).....or maybe its just me that feels this way
i make that statement based on hq success, not the quick synth that i knew was bad for success rates

. . . As a level 50 Weaver why are you even trying to HQ hempen yarn? It's just a waste of a lightning shard since you can HQ anything at that tier with NQ mats and you can just buy those from a vendor.

Achievement, maybe? Gathered material burning?
PS. Gathering shards is ice on a cake, anyways...

You can get, what, about a hundred shards for five minutes work? You burn through that pretty fast if you're using 30-50 shards total just on the higher-level no-star synths.

If he's after the HQ Achievements it's better to go for something wearable, since it's easier to HQ the higher-durability synths and then you can spiritbond them for materia.

An ability with a 100% success rate fails 10% of the time, I call shenanigans there.

It doesn't matter what abilities you have when using quick synthesis. The game just uses standard synthesis repeatedly until the item is either finished or ruined. A 10% failure rate would be unusually high, but no individual person's experience is going to be a large enough sample size to demonstrate overall success rates. If you're getting a 10% fail rate you're just an unlucky outlier.

PS You can buy hempen yarn from a trade supplier for less than the value of the shards used during quick synthesis.

Nope, that's not how it works. There's a cap on quick synth success rate and it's always below %100, that's why even a fully geared level 50 crafter can fail on a level 1 craft, hence OP's frustration.

Solution: Don't use quick synth. It sucks.

wow failing at level 50? that's just wrong

[XNihili]

Quick Synth is a waste of space. It is barely faster than doing manually, doesn't even give half xp you can have, has a very low rate of HQ and the lowest you can ever hope to have is a 10% fail.
I like it, it reminds me of FFXI craft (except without the directional/weather bullshit).

11 years and people still don't understand that this isn't, nor ever was, a thing?
