If you are able to do a synth perfectly once you should be able to do it perfectly every single other time as long as its the same synt. The other way around is also true, if you fail horribly you should always fail horribly.

There's NO excuse for such a random chance to craft.
Actually, it DOES help. Yes, the result is a little random, but the things I listed DO help. At r22 weaver, without weaving training, I failed 1/3 of my canvas cloth synths. Once I got weaving training, I only fail 1/6-7 now. I got rank appropriate gear and decreased that to around 1/8. With guild support, it's around 1/10. This is doing a r29 synth at r22.


Also, what MHB3000 said, sub-crafts help a ton on the few synths that require it.
