Rotation guide - 2/3/4 stars

[Wisdombeer]

You should CS2 in the beginning to bait goods.

I dont get this point. Why bait for goods in the beginning ? The #1 rotation require only 2 TOTT, you will get them along the craft almost 100% of the time.

You have no rotations with lucis numbers. [...] are you using all NQ matts?

Completely true, I'm currently working on getting a WVR Lucis to update my guide. I'm crafting mostly with NQ mats and I have almost 100% HQ (besides the master books II turn in items which are much harder). So I did not feel urgent to get Lucis. I do have HQ mats for expensive recipes (like artisan / forager stuff), that's just obvious.

Could you get away with a basic touch in this situation?

Well, yes, that could be a way of using CP's. But generally I prefer to cast an HT. It let you use the Good, but as your control is still low due to IQ stacks, I prefer to keep the BT for later on. I'll have some thoughts about this point when I'll be crafting these next days.

I had trouble getting any Trick of the Trades and most of my the Hasty Touch ended up failing

Trick of the Trades is your top most priority. When you see a "good" condition, you should cast it, except if you are in the final phase to cast the Byregot's Blessing. There is only very rare cases when you should not use a Good for a TOTT.

Concerning Hasty Touches, that's just RNG. A few days ago I had 5 fail in a row. Bad luck...

when do I add the Observe skill, after Trick of the Tread?

Well, Observe has nothing to do with Tricks of the Trades. When you are in the final phase, you will cast the Great Stride spell. It lasts for 3 steps and is pretty expensive. Consequently, you dont want to cast it again. It let you 2 steps to "bait" for a good condition. If you get "Good" after Great Stride, you cast directly Byregot. If not, you try to get a Good by casting an Innovation or an Observe. Try this a second time. And after this second bait, if you still dont get a Good, just cast byregot. You probably dont have the CP count to cast SH2, GS and BB another time.
