801 Difficulty 3 Star Crafting rotation help

[Ashkendor]

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.

This. Though Reclaim has a nasty habit of kicking you while you're down, 90% is still way better than 10%. At least if Rapid Synthesis or PbP troll you early on, you can just Reclaim and break the item and only lose the shards.

Anyway, I used this rotation to get mine. There might be a better rotation out there, but I've finished two so far this way. The highest I've gotten on quality is 83-84% when I had enough CP left from multiple ToT to slide Innovation into the rotation and happened to proc a Good on Byregot's, normally it gets me like 47-53%.

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.

This is kinda how I'm feeling about it. Crafting has gone from "fun" to "RNGesus kicks you in the teeth repeatedly".

I really don't enjoy the difficulty on the new stuff. The HQ supra turn ins had me wanting to rip my hair out.

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.

It takes somebody with the name "cookiecutter" to have that opinion.

I'm glad that crafting isn't that brainless anymore. Currently, it's fairly easy. Just on lunch I had an FC member provide me the Sealant, and I cafted him his BSM Artisan off hand tool. Did I ever doubt I couldn't HQ it for him? No. Why? I can macro all the 1-2* Synths, and reliably HQ all 3* Synths. If you enter a 4* Synth with all HQ materials guess what? It's easy to HQ. Can you macro it? No, so you actually need to pay attention.

@OP - you should check out the Disciple of the Hand Forums for these types of answers. There's a LOT of great threads over there includnig crafing macros etc.

I don't think its hard either way. So in regards to that I'd prefer crafting that is less rng based which is what two star crafting was. 3 and 4 star crafting is built around RNG and managing said RNG scenarios. I just don't like dealing with said RNG because it could end up sour no matter how well you know your rotation (you miss a lot of hasty touches, few tricks procs, miss rapid synths, and your reclaim fails). I'd rather it based on knowing your skills than how lucky you can get with said skills.

Thanks for the new tip, but no, I'll not try taste this bitter experience again. 100 failures was enough for me, if I try again with a new rotation the deception will make me stop playing the game. I'll wait if this crap based RNG has a better solution in future upadates.

For starters the new recipes require up to 451 crafts to even attempt them so why do you want to make this stuff without the supra?

Oh forgive me. But it helped to show how horrible is to craft thouse items even with high stats.

Oh lawd, I didn't even notice that either. Ugh, necroposting. -.-
