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

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

I altered the original roation/method myself and got my Artisan's Spectacles finally! Some failed attempts obviously, as altering the original rotation/method did not produce 100% as intendedby your original, but I got it done with: 361craft, 342control, and 382CP (with HQ Bouillabaisse). Oh and this was a messed up melded ALC lol. None of my pieces (except for jewelry and belt) were properly or fully melded. ALC was my first 50 craft way back in the day and I melded it before I knew what I was doing, but I already had the master book on ALC, so I was kind of left with no choice!

I couldn't think of a way. The only way to reclaim an extra step would be to drop a touch, which drastically lowers the finished % of quality thanks to Inner Quiet being weaker. I think my suggestion would be to get Ingenuity II anyway, even if it is a grind, as it's essential to three star crafting.

I replaced some of the basic touches with hasty touches, saving a lot of CP. At the end when I had the item at 100% or close to it, I still had enough CP for another Manipulation and a regular Ingenuity which let me finish the craft!

There is no doubt I will have all my crafters to 50, but I just wanted those artisan's spectacles in a rush for some reason so I had to think outside the box until the leve allowances start building back up. I should actually have enough today to take my BSM to 50, giving me the last piece I need for your one and two-star rotations!

It's really not essential for 3 star crafts ^^

I don't use it at all for my method.

It's more use than the LTW lvl50 skill... but not one I'd suggest rushing.

ARM lvl50 on the other hand, I would make my priority if I were Evian.

Piece by Piece I personally would say is Essential for 3 star crafting with a very high HQ rate.

How many steps do you finish your synths in, including Piece by Piece?

30-60 usually lol.

But I don't bother HQ'ing the myth mats usually (putty/cashmere etc).

May not be the most time effective rotation lol, but it is very reliable, does not use Ing II and is something I've been using since the first week of 2.2.

I suppose if you don't have Ingenuity 2 it's fine. You can get to three star completion in the five steps though, PbP x2, Careful x3 (with Ingenuity 2 on.) Only 50 durability, which would free up 10 durability on those occasions you're using 60 to finish. Whilst three star HQ isn't 'mega difficult' to HQ, there are times RNG is a swine and having that extra step could be the difference between an NQ worth 200k and an HQ worth double.

While three-star crafting is my ultimate goal, my current goal is to obtain my ilvl70 primary tools! There will be no three-star crafting until I get those anyway, so I'm topping off BSM right now so I can use this rotation as it was intended to be used. Once leve allowances build up again, going to top off my ARM for sure so I can three-star craft

Ing II is useful for getting the tools, again I'd not say essential, but you'd save a lot of time having it!

PbP FTW once you get those tools ;D

BTW, just finished making my last DoH tool, which is Alchemy. Sadly, this is where your rotation cannot reach 100% most of the time because having 1 material which only has NQ availability: Vitriol. Note that my body & accessories were all fully melded, with only my off hand still meld free though. Majority only got averagely 92% and failed into 2-3 NQ.

Only way I can get 100% are having like 3+ great status when I landed my touch/BB skills, or landing an excellent.

I'm taking risk not melding control IV to my off-hand since I don't have any atm. lol
