Also @scarebearz for your rotation, I didn't know that Ingenuity can work with Quality, I always thought they only work with Progress.
    Ingenuity lowers a recipe to your level. There is a penalty for doing recipes above your level both for Progress and for Quality. Ingenuity II lowers a recipe to below your level. There is a bonus to Progress for doing recipes below your level, but there is not a bonus to Quality for doing recipes below your level. So, generally speaking: Ingenuity helps both Progress and Quality. Ingenuity II helps more on Progress than Ingenuity, but helps the same as Ingenuity for Quality.

    I believe, if I'm remembering right, that with a few Inner Quiet stacks, Ingenuity helps Quality more than Innovation does (but also costs more CP), since Ingenuity stacks multiplicatively with the IQ bonus (meaning, more IQ = more bonus) and Innovation stacks additively (flat bonus regardless of IQ stacks).


    EDIT: And yes, I strongly recommend using the Ehcatl Smithing Gloves (the ones that cost 10 oaknots and require rank 7) to save money at first. If you want to get seriously into three star crafting, after fully melding everything else, then it's likely worth it to get class-specific gloves and fully meld them. While the three CP is better than the three Control, it's not enough of a bonus to justify buying the i55 items and melding them when you're first getting started. And, in the process of getting the gloves, you'll get TONS of crafter exp!
