3* Crafting Rotations

[Kenji1134]

I did some experimenting and tweaking of the rotation myself. Hope this proves to work better. I managed to squeeze in one more Touch action, bringing the total from 8 to 9.

My stats are 405 Craftsmanship, 375 Control and 388 CP (345 CP + HQ Bouillabaisse). It's possible to do with the minimum required stats (391 Craft / 374 Control), but CP should be at 388 regardless.

Ingenuity II
Byregot's Blessing
Careful Synthesis II x3

Just one quick comment. You can safely replace Master's Mend with Manipulation to save 4 CP, which knocks off 1-2 required melds.

So many options for these 3 star recipes... Im trying to compile some of them into a bit of a guide, though it does take a while to check each one

In the end it all comes down to how much rng you want to deal with.

It's all risk/reward. Someone posted something similar in the DoH section (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...64#post1997964) except s/he used another Ingenuity II in the middle. If you're fine with pure RNG, I think these Waste Not variations may be superior.

Edit: I just tried it and I can't say I'm a fan of the 50% hasty touches, but it works about as well as my method.
