100% Guaranteed High Quality Tool Items: Absolutely NO RNG!

[Bombast]

Nothing to add, just wanted to thanks a ton. The rotation I was given prior to using this one was a RNG nightmare that forced me to get culinarian to 50 for reclaim (Though I suppose I should have done that anyway at some point). This one, including the excellent macros prepared for us, has saved me some color in my hair.

Probably a dumb question, but is there a non-rng non-food rotation that culinarian can use to make HQ Spicy Tomato Relish with stats: 394 crafts / 378 control / 352 cp?

If not how much success can and RNG one grant on average?

[Curcio]

I also want to confirm I've been getting 96% for Alchemist too. Nothing to complain about, but a headsup.

edit: I still do get 100% on some. I don't really have a clue how often, but it will hit 100% every once in a while.

CP 388
Crafts 362
Control 366

I could meld a control 2 to my offhand and one to my body, but I'm not doing that until more are put on the AH.

Thanks for the rotation!

Remove the first Great Strides and Innovation from this rotation, replace the sixth Basic Touch with Standard Touch.

That gives you 96% HQ with all normal states.

and then there is this ....

i'd rather save my time and money and just skip the i70 tools all together. Took about 3 days to get GSM desynth leveled from 0-78 enough to desynth the artisan specs for mastercraft demimenteria

Hmm, good luck??

That method is reasonable IF it is your FC, and you aren't killing anyone else with the crafting buffs.

To get to iL75 tool, you will need to get the artisan spec, which pretty much is saying you will need to be able to craft the 2 star turn ins anyway. So, why not just get the iL70 first, since the process of getting 3 MCs and 10 FC IIIs is going to be a long road.

All I can say is, some are more lucky then I, and I have only gotten 8 FC3s out of 72 specs. Ggranted, 4 out of the last 17 after GSM hit 85 w 76% desyn rate.

You're all welcome!

I have tested on what John Mccain said about dropping the Great Strides in Step 10. This lowers the CP requirement by 32 and it's still reaching 100% for me every synth (although, it should be noted, it did not with Alchemy's Spirits of Salt - 99%, how infuriating!) For anyone subsequently reading this and considering how to burn through the Artisan Tools you have two choices:

- Either use a much lower quality food for +9 CP and remove this step, or:
- If you don't have Alchemy to 50 drop the opening Comfort Zone from the rotation, keep the Great Strides in Step 10 (which will now be Step 9) and this removes the need to have Alchemy even at level 1 for this rotation. I can not in good conscience tell people not to level Alchemy though, as Comfort Zone is so amazing! The choice is yours!

In the name of science I have bought some HQ Chilled Potato Soup Craft +12% (max 47) and CP + 5% (max 17)

I am at Craft 354, Control 346, 345 CPs. I know I should be pushing Control but want to see if pushing craft instead could help. should get me to Craft 396 and 362 CPs. But not tonight.

CC IV materia are currently at 160K on my server ....

Edit: CC IV materia came down to 120K. Base stats: Craft 354, Control 350, CPs 345. With the soup: Craft 396, Control 350, CPs 362.

At these specs that rotation works only if I hit a crit on a touch or two. I have MUCH better results riding the RNG and Hasty touch.

Unless you are getting the tools for completion's sake only, you'll need to meld your crafters to make three star synths. With the three star levels required you could use this rotation and HQ every attempt. Why not just meld in preparation for three star and make getting the tools easier?

Is there any way this rotation/method could be altered to not include Ingenuity II? Ingenuity II and Piece by Piece (not mentioned in this thread) are the only two cross-class actions I do not have yet. I have been hard grinding trying to get Ingenuity II, but it is becoming very boring , very expensive, and very slow. I may have to just hold off and wait for the leve allowances to build back up
