Synthesis Guide Part 2 Done (with link)

I notice that your quality and durability using your control sets went down as your level went up?
This would mean that control is only useful when attempting items much higher than your own level and that when you are closer / above you should use craftmanship/mag craft

In each test batch the control set had the best ending durability per rank.

Yeah i noticed that too. However for these tests in guide part 2 i wanted to focus primarily in terms of ease of completion. So everything was done from the standpoint of "whats going to help people stat wise get through the synths the most effectively.

This of course is jsut my opinion on the matter but when grinding syntheses purely for rank up, the goal is the fastest route and not the most HQ. As for HQing these tests aren't what i would consider good rank for crafter vs. the synth. What i mean is that if you the crafter are going for HQ rates, you would want to perform your synths at the highest rank in your favor, and not the other way around. Performing iron celeta visors at R33 when the synthesis rank is r40 is purely to capitalize on the sp bonus for harder syntheses.

Interestingly enough going control heavy when you way out rank a synthesis also helps with HQing. I recently switched to a max control set + control food for my HQ synths, and even though each action seems to produce less quality i am able to push teh quality much farther because of the reduced unstables and fails.
