Why Ingenuity I and not Ingenuity II ?

[Grembo]

I can finish all my crafts with Ingenuity + Careful Synthesis x3, even if Ingenuity II allowed me to use one less Careful Synthesis it would still be irrelevant.

I have some, others I don't but I will make it a point of spirit bonding the 48 I leveled with in either case. The 55 main hands aren't needed for anything but two star and every spirit bond counts.

It's not like crafting is the only way to spirit bond your out dated tools

Can you share your secret with me? I have many partially bonded tools in my inventory.

If you have the 347 in craftmanship needed to make the 2 star craft items hard on your gear you can finish any craft currently in the game with ingenuity 1 and 3 x carefull 2 making ingenuity 2 quite redundant.

Ingenuity 2 isn't really a skill you eventually need/want as it is now, it just one that may help when you try get your skills/gear together.

Byreot's Blessing on the other hand is almost essential for 2 star 100% HQ crafting, especially if you have to work with lots of non HQ mats.

That said when new recpies come things may obviously change.

This is definitely not the case for my rotation. Without Ing II I would need 10 more craftsmanship due to the face that IngII will only cover 2 of my CS2s. Below is the rotation I use.

IQ > CZ > WN > SH2 > BT x5 > SH > GS > Ing II > AT > GS > BB > CS2 x3.

Eh. I dont have BB yet (will level crp to get it as I know it's plenty useful), and atm Ingenuity I works wonders for me. For progress on HQ 2* I just pop Ingen 1 + Rapid Synth(SH2 will be up of course) to the end and it works just fine (though looking back I should prob just RS one time and CS2 from there considering the boost I get from Ingen 1 lol).

I just have WVR and GSM at 50. Dont even use Innovation really. Everything else is 15 with cul at 40. Ive 100% just fine on Vanya Healing/Casting, Rose Gold Circlet, and Rose Gold Ear Cuffs( dat moolah item). More times than not I'll aim for HQ twinthread or nuggets from hasty touch spam(just b/c why not make it easier on yourself?), but If I dont get HQ I still get by fine.

So imho, get the Blessing and use Ingen 1. You'll be gravy. Now if they introduce i80/i90 crafts but dont upgrade our gear? get Ingen II as well. But with the way crafting is going and the new gear that's coming from dungeons/extremes/moogle/CT, and the speed at which prices are dropping......it's not looking real good for us lol.
