    801 Difficulty 3 Star Crafting rotation help

    I am craft 403, control 385, cp349 no food ( i think its like 390+ wiff hq cp food)

    I realize that this will get easier to HQ once I get Supra, and craft an offhand tool. Just curious what rotations you are using, or how I might modify mine.

    What I'm using:

    Open: CZ ) IQ ) WN ) SH2 ) PBPx3 ) CS2 ) HT (using TOT when available) ) redo CZ ) SH2 ) HT to 10 or 20( depending on when SH cancels if i've used TOT during the HT)

    Then: MM2 ) SH2(when needed) ) HT to 40durabilty

    Closing: SH ) GS ) ING2 ) Innovation ) BB ) CS2 x3

    I had to adjust my original Rotation to add in the CS2 at the begging because of failing due to difficulty. Using this I'm still getting barely 10HT's, and only 7 or 8 stick. When 8 sticks BB still only brings my HQ% to 30% max. Working towards getting the tool, and offhand upgrade to see how my % goes up.

    Anyway need advice maximizing my CP and abilites to get the max % possible. Currently this rotation requires that you hit 3 TOT to complete.

    I use Comfort Zone, Steady Hand II, Piece By Piece, Ingenuity II and then Rapid Synth X 2

    Then follow that up with some Quality skills as long as the Rapid Synths do not fail.

    My rotation is as follows --- Comfort, IQ, Steady Hand 1, PbP, Pbp, SH2, WN2, Hastyx4, SH2 Hastyx3, Rapid x2, Manipulation, Great Strides, Ingenuity 2, Byregots, Carefull Synth x2 to finish it off.

    A side note... I have my supras, and I will tell you getting HQ of these is NOT easy

    another note, I use tricks of the trade when its not going to mess up my rotation

    i.e. ill use it before I pop WN2, no matter what use it.

    It likes to pop after I hit SH2, in which case I still use it but instead of it being Hastyx4 then hastyx3 it reverses that so hasty 3 then hasty 4

    Since Rapid Synth is RNG based, I would recommend getting your "near finished" progress at the start of the synthesis. Nothing worse than blowing all your CP just to find out you're like 20 points short of a complete synth with no option to get your mats back through Reclaim.

    Getting HQ out of 801 is a true nightmare, because most of the skills used are based on RNG, uses a lot of skills and even if you sucesss them all, still gets you low HQ%. Tryed 100 times to get me just one Intricate Silver Brocade. The new recipes will probably follow this line, I think I'll stop crafting at the current state and just keep making money from that. The new recipes books are not worth the effort, money and the decception to make it.

    I know this is a bit outdated, but a while back when I asked one of my good friends for advice on crafting rotations. They sent me to this site. I don't know if it has exactly what you're looking for but if it helps then I'm happy to be of service.

    Thanks my good lady, but I'll give it a time. Its probably that in future upades they will provide new tools and more easy procedures to get the books, I can wait.

    Here is hoping there is a hard reset on crafting come 3.0. I miss the days when you could always guarantee 100% two star items as long you knew the proper rotation and had the appropriate cross craft skills.
