End-all 100% HQ Rotations Thread

[xPeAcEx]

Something interesting to note about 3 star crafts - if you're a 4-star crafter, you no longer need Ingenuity II. Two Piece by Piece, Standard Synthesis, and two Careful Synthesis II will finish the craft.

This frees up 17 CP for more funsies.

Never used PbP as part of my 3 star rotation, i always relied on RS to free up all that cp for an additional MM II.

But if you are all about minimizing the risk of a fail, then i would suggest SH II > PbP > RS and you can finish with 3x CS II.
My personal rotation is SH II > 2x RS > 3x CS II

You don't rely on ING II and you free up 30 CP from your progress steps that can go towards anything else.

For 3 star I use a mixture of (PbP > RS x2 > CS2) and (RS x 3 > Cs2), if I get an early ToT proc I use the first, otherwise I use the 2nd.

Sorry to be picky, but if your first rotation is an non-100% 40 dur that is <95%, then I feel you need to include the 381 CP HT rotation that is closer to 100% for those with higher stats.

The title is 100% HQ, so why no posting of the rotation that is closest to 100%?

Just wanna say, as someone just coming into high-end crafting, this thread has helped immensely, thank you for putting all this together, I was at a loss as to how to exactly step forward with stuff, and wasted more than I'd like to admit with trying different ideas I had, so, thank you, OP, and everyone else that's helped in here as well

Has anyone worked a rotation for artisan tokens without needing cp food? Are stats with Lucis enough?

There is no 100% rotation for those without using HQ materials. Even with maxed stats and food.
With 1 HQ item you can get to ~99%, but that does require food.

Crafting these without food is not advised unless you are only making a handful; in which case you would want to manually craft them.


If you are using 2x HQ materials (2173 starting quality) you can use this:

Requirements: 354CP, 466 Craftmanship.
384+ Control will give you a 100% HQ chance barring good/worse conditions, but you will likely obtain a 100% rate at lower control levels due to good conditions.


Making that macro made me realise I could of saved some BB HQ since I'm crafting with (selfmade) HQ mats anyway..oh well..

[uome]

Thank you for that. Making the HQ mats isn't much of hassle so this should come in handy for quite a few people.

This rotation ends at -5 dura in simulator.

This rotation ends at -5 dura in simulator.

-5 dura is perfectly fine. that means you have 5 durability left when you perform the last action, which won't break the item as long as you finish the craft with that last action.
