Instead of granting you a 12-13 hasty touch rotations at 80% chance.
It's suggesting a 8-9 hasty touch rotation with some 100% touches built-in by swapping with basic touch.


Basically, the above rotation works well if you really hate to try your luck.
But on average, the higher touch rotations will grant you higher inner quality stacks. It CAN go awry if you fail 6 or 7 hasty touches in a row and it does happen. But on AVERAGE, higher touch they will get you better results.

Rotation I use is basically this, it's not 100% accurate, my synth steps may be missing but the basic idea is here.

Comfort zone -> IQ -> PbP -> Ingenuity II -> SH2 -> Rapid Synth -> Rapid Synth -> HT -> HT -> Master's Mend -> Comfort Zone -> SH2 -> HT x 5 -> Master's Mend 2 -> SH2 -> HT x 2/3 -> then finisher with Byregots and CS2.

The above rotation takes 4 synthesis steps, so you have 10 extra durability to dedicate to work on quality. There's no tott zone, you can take pretty much all you get except during rapid synthesis, you can only take 2 since you want to get those rapid synths under ingenuity II.
It also has more hasty touches AND if you land on a lot of ToTT procs, you can use another master's mend to go for another round to work on your quality.

Its disadvantages are that the synthesis steps are not 100% so there's some risk there. and all the hasty touches are 80% and you don't want to swap it out with basic touch since you have better use for CP. So if you have awful luck, the rotation I gave will really mess you up, I won't lie.


But if your luck is average, or above average, or if you craft a lot of a certain item to eliminate the randomness, it will come out on top.


BTW, don't try this rotation without first running it through a simulator, I just wrote that out off the top of my head and also, it may have a different craftsmanship requirement.
