    I don't think I've ever got -14, apart from "instability burst", I've only ever seen -7 to -11 and is usually -8 or -9.

    Upgrade ALL your gear ASAP, you see a massive increase in success and it will make the game much quicker through less breakage and ability to successfully craft items 10 levels above. IMO I make sure I have every gear slot filled with approproately leveled gear, attaching stat boosting materia to it will probably make it the easiest for you.

    Also, make doubly sure that your Actions/Traits are set correctly, for every DoH/L class (same time when upgrading gear), because these abilities DO NOT set themselves. So you want to replace those abilities that do not offer much such as the sketchy "25% less durability" for something consistent such as "Advances progress" which is always +20 progress. You want to apply basically the same thing to all DoH jobs save for any "Elemental" actions eg:

    Mine is currently as follows:
    * Start with Maker's Muse (L10-ensures successful attempt x3), I use only x1 where my progress increases to +15~+20 (2x if the first was only +14)
    * Careful synthing watching for instability, you should have the required "Brand of..." set for whatever element shards being used, if there is more than one element shard being used, use whatever Brand uses most shards or occurs the most.
    * Keep careful synthing until your progress is 60 and beyond, if not enough durability, normal/rapid synth can sometimes work.
    * Grand Design/Unerring Hand/Tricks Of The Trade x2 (L36-advances progress +20) to give you +40 progress for free, so you only really need to get from 0-60

    Doing this and sticking to recipes 10+,9+,8+ levels above you will get you up to 5k exp per synth.

    BTW this is just for getting best exp/crafting items/, not really for low level players or wanting HQ or w/e.

    I fully expect for that, once you quit, you throw your crafting table.

    Man, after thinking about it, I really wanna make it so that your character rages when you quit.
    Armorer throwing hammer to the ground and failing on the ground (Unless you expect characters to be physically able to flip a anvil).
    Alchemist kicking over their alchemic station.
    Of course, I'd see a future where I'll mess up synthesis on purpose when I start getting "Crafter's madness"

    I guess you didn't craft when crafting sucked bad. When this thread was created, all these skills were different, and durability loss was much greater, while quality and progress gain were much lower, you could HQ something with 3 quality with complete randomness, and your lvl vs recipe level was all that mattered towards success rate, not gear stats.

    the I Quit button isn't really need as much now, but they would still be nice to have.

    Oh, and elemental destabilities would reduce your quality by half as well. it really sucked.

    Don't call it an I Quit Button. Scrap Craft.

    Honestly if it's that bad you should probably not be doing that synth because it's too high level. >>;

    For those of you complaining about this button.... why???
    It's just additional feature for those of us that want to quit in middle of crafting for different reasons.
    Does it explode your brain by seeing a button on screen "cancel crafting"? Is it going to bother you guys so much that you guys feel like jumping out the window and crashing your keyboards? maybe need a real life "I quit" button??? j/k

    Obviously the devs added this already on the alpha version of FFXIV ARR and by them adding this there must of been someone in the dev team that also felt the need for this extra feature to cancel crafting mid-way. If you're the type of person that would never ever going to use it... then don't... that's all there is to it... end of story.

    Now back to staring at my next subligar design.

    I like the I quit button there's been times that I've accidentally chose the wrong synth recipe and had to hasty hand to finish it quickly or destroy it because of that (usually due to lagging in the city)

    (ノ`m´)ノ ~┻━┻ (/o\) Throwing my leatherworker table because every synthesis is like 14+ durability loss every time.

    So I ask, when I am at 55 durability left with only like 10 progress, can I just have an "I QUIT!!!" button. It'll save me the trouble of having to spam rapid synthesis to break faster.

    Or drop the leve myself? When I am a 3 out 6 items with only one attempt I don't even want to bother with it anymore.
    Crafting is not for you try Fishing. It will relax you to jig that fish. i had a time with sewing but with my durability low you got to start low, uh hmm dont you think so or am i wrong.
