    Can I achieve 100% HQ on low level Mats with these stats?

    Hi, I wanted to know, if there is a macro which lets me get ~ 100% HQ on low level Mats. About level 26-30.


    The following requirements should apply:

    * using 180 or less CP
    * 265 Craftsmanship
    * 264 Control
    * 40 Durability
    * I have all crafts at 50


    Regards

    You should be able to make yourself better gear than that, especially since base CP is 200...

    With HQ 45-50 gear you can easily HQ stuff at that level. With the stats you listed, you will have issues HQing consistently without using hasty spam.

    The only feasible accessories to spiritbond with level 26-30 recipes is the 35-39 crafting accessories, or the level 9-19 accessories hoping for craftsmanship+3. All other tier 1-2 materia is cheap, and tier III takes level 45 gear, which will take about a thousand synths to fully spiritbond.

    Tips for spiritbonding:
    -use HQ gear, it gives about a 20% bonus rate vs NQ gear
    -put at least one cheap materia in it, each materia gives about a 20% boost to rate
    -gear with spiritbond +1 stat gives about a 5% boost to rate, not worth it for the piece of gear you are no longer bonding. Spiritbond+2 is about break even on bonus vs used up slot
    -NQ, HQ, fail, and quick synths all spiritbond at the same rate, at least before patch 2.15 or so

    I was wrong, base CP is 180, not 200

    This macro is 173 CP, about the best you can do, far from 100%

    Except for the 180 CP on a 40 durability item, how would you macro that?

    Isn't it easier just to go to N-Thanalan on a level 50 dps with a decent weapon and go postal on the local wildlife?

    And to answer your question:

    No, it is not possible to get a no RNG 100% HQ with those stats on recipes of that level.
    You will have to rely on a rotation with 4 hasty touches and even with 4 succesful hits on normal conditions a Great strides > Byregot's will not net you enough quality to hit 100%.

    I have calculated that with those stats you will need 253 CP for a 100% no RNG HQ on level 30 recipes .

    Rotation: Comfort zone > Inner Quiet > Steady Hand II > Waste Not > Basic Touch x4 > Steady hand > Great Strides > Innovation > Byregot's Blessing > Careful Synthesis 2
