What am i doing wrong in the Ixal quests?

[JTribal]

I just started on the level 6 ones today. I typically just accept all the mats at the same time and synth everything at once. Word the the wise, though, the level 6 quests have different crafting...uhh... debuffs? You know, the restrictions they put on you to access the facility. Unbeknownst to me, you can have more than one debuff, so I ended up with two and it gimped my CP all the way down to 86. XD

Wait for real?

I kept wondering why I only had like 100 cp when I was trying to do the Coerthas crafting quests. I would accept all three at once.

If this really is correct, then it seems it is probably a better idea to do one at a time.

It's definitely misleading to show the recipes at level 15-18 but then require HQ results that can only be reliably obtained by level 50 crafters. I was using one that I hadn't leveled up yet but had to switch to a level 50 after rank 5 to get them done.

BTW, Draco and others,

Did anyone write up a bug report on this?

While I agree removing any extra Debuffs from the other Ixali dailies you might've had on will definitely help, the difficulty is something that sounds like a mistake on SE's part; it's not like it was marked as a "3 Star" Max Level Synth.

I have a feeling this might have just been a bug/oversight.

For those responding, in rank 5 and 6 Ixali dailies crossclass abilities are locked out. You cannot use anything that isn't available for crafting on the job you are, to the OP, I found it easier to use Culinarian to finish this craft because hasty touch takes no CP. Made it a hell of a lot easier to get my HQ % up (still didn't get it to 100% though, SE is just sadistic). And as someone else pointed out, make sure you don't accept two/three different crafting debuffs, I did that my first time trying this craft and was shocked to realize how screwed I was I dunno how someone at the actual recipe level (listed as 16) would possibly get this done without pure luck, it's kinda funny. But then again these things look like they are amazing EXP for people trying to grind up crafters, so win some lose some I suppose.

Not all of them; specifically High Wind in Ishgard (the one the OP is talking about) allows cross class skills.

Well, considering that the facility buff is supposed to lower the recipe level to your level, Detailing II could be bugged, I can't test out myself but someone should compare the quality/progress gain between all three buffs, perhaps trying with classes of different levels as well.

Yep, Production Im not sure what the debuff is, but Detailing makes your base CP a certain number, Finishing halves your CP, and Specialization removes your ability to cross-class.

It's tough, yes. I recommend you to use culinarian because of the Hasty Touch and Steady Hands II. Since my TP is cut by 50%, and no having cross-class skills, these crafts are truly a puzzle.

Edit: A rotation that worked for me:

Inner Quiet -> Steady Hands -> Hasty Touch x(duration of Steady Hands). If the "good" or "excellent" condition pops, instead of using Hasty Touch, I use Advanced Touch. If it didn't proc, I use Great Strides and Advanced Touch.

Ok just tried the ones at camp dragonhead for the first time and was getting really frustrated. Couldnt get HQ even on my lvl 50 blacksmith. Up until this point i didnt know different quest have different facility access. What I was doing was getting all 3 at once, which made it to where i couldnt use cross class skills and my CP was being significantly reduced. Once I realized the facility access was only for certain quests I turned off the one that was reducing my CP and HQd first try. Then turned off the no cross class skills one for the other quest. Makes it much easier knowing this now.

So to make things easier only pick up ingredients for one quest at a time then get rid of that quests debuff before picking up the next one.

i did that one using inner quiet, steady hand II, hasty touch, tricks of the trade, rumination, master's mend. use hasty touch to get the quality up for free, an keep giving yourself enough cp to master's mend a couple of times, easy peasy
