I think I just suck at crafting...

I finally got my weaver to 60, woot, now want to obtain my master book II that I was unable to get because I just too low level to try. Hmm... well Intricate Silver Brocades only need 374 control and 391 craftsman ship. Well since I'm in the 500s on crafting and have 493 control so I should be fine

My rotation consist of Inner Quiet, Ingenuity II, Careful Synthesis II (till close to full synthesis) Steady Hand I (don have II) Hasty Touch till (using Precise Touch unless out of steady hand in which I would use Tricks of the Trade) achieve 20/80 progress, use Master's Mend II, Steady Hand I, Hasty touch, etc. Usually I'd have 9 Inner Quiet stacks and use Byregot's blessing or the next best thing Byregot's Bow. And so far the closest I got was 20% hq and got nq.

Be sure to have GS+ING/INGII+MAN up if possible before popping BB. Also, you will need SHII

Its good to know MB2 is still a bit challenging

[Kurogaea]

Ingenuity wont help much as the OP is far above the recipes level.

You know, I keep thinking I can just say I suck at this, but I really REALLY think that this is way harder than it should be. This is 2.x content and I'm now lvl 60. This should be easier, seriously. Makes me wonder if they buffed this item in particular for some reason.

Btw here's the video of me using my current rotation : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyHWJ08lMq4

Right now I'm taking Bush's advice and lvling my Culinarian for SteadyHand II.

At 57 I'm seeing, with my stats 214 Progress with a CS2, regardless of whether or not I've got Ing 2 up. So, don't bother to Ing or Ing 2 this recipe, TC. My stats, by the way, are 549 Craft, 516 Control, 358 CP. I'm using all HQ gear, level 55 left side gear, 2.x BiS right side gear(fully melded), level 55 MH tool and level 53 OH tool. The only melds I've put into my left side gear are for CP, so I would not lose CP going from the old Artisan's set. No melds on my tools.

FC3's don't come in HQ, so using the HQ Silver Brocade started me off with 1494 Quality. That should be what you're seeing, right?

Comfort Zone, Inner Quiet, Careful Synthesis 2, CS2, CS2 gets me to 50/80 Durability, one CS2 from finishing. Taking all Tricks procs during that step, I'll use Precise Touch on Goods while Steady Hand 2 is up, unless I'm at 20 durability left. Working Quality, I find myself refreshing Comfort Zone at the 20 Durability mark, hitting Master's Mend 2, and then doing some math. I find I've got 93 CP to play with above and beyond my finisher, that is worth five of the 18 CP moves. Got lucky with a Good at the end, so my 11 stack BBlessing got me 7749 Quality, much more than enough to 100% it. It would have either been 100% without the Good, or in the mid-upper 90's, by my estimation.

I'd say the recipe is fine. You just need to get Steady Hand 2, and to figure out when it is better to take the 20 CP on Tricks, or to spend 18 CP (effectively 38 CP) on Precise Touch.

If I need that much gear to 100%hq a 3 star Item at lvl60 then I think the item has been buffed and need to be brought to a reasonable level. Thnx for the info though.
