    If you use all NQ mats, you absolutely must get 11 IQ stacks to have any chance of going over 50% HQ. Once you get the upgrades, HQing these with all NQ mats might become more trivial.

    didn't see this one, also very good info. her numbers also vary from mine, due to different stats. This is good cause we can start forming a ceiling of what stats are needed to get things done reasonable.

    BTW, thanks for posting your impulsive/impulsive/methodical method of collectibles. its really helped alot. shared that link with my all my buddies. =D

    I just finished working out a similar rotation on my own, but one that does not require good state for CP (thats so dangerous). Tested this on 1116 crafts and even though it finished early, using the prior data it will made for an ok test bed.
    however, this rotation requires 417 CP. if you have a lot of extra cp, you can throw in a precise over a hasty, It gets slightly mess in middle but I haven't come up with a better option yet.

    Muscle
    CZ, IQ, SHII (standard opener)
    HTx5
    MMII
    SHII, WNI
    CZ <---the messy part, bad spot for it but what can you do?
    HTx4 (last one sucks)
    GS, INNO, SHI, BB (standard)
    IGII
    NAME, BRAND x2
    CSII x2


    This isnt the best rotation I'm sure, but a working one at the very least, and one that feeds a little less into RNG (despite wholy relying on hasty =( )
    alternatively, if you wanna rely on good states, you can drop the WNI altogether and throw in PT/BTs.
    I played around with Makers mark, but honestly after testing it on 30 1116 synths, fishign for good states seems wholy unreliable and I'm assuming on the 1436's, its even more so unreliable. Basically, in 30 tries, (12 stacks of makers on 1116, supposedly its 15 on 1436), thats 360 times I could of seen a good state. I saw it 5 times. never more then once on one synth. Hoping fore more good states is like hoping yoru 5th slot overmeld will stick first try. It can happen, just not very often. Either I'm wholy unlucky with good states, ore other people are just way to lucky.
    You could use a delineation, but then the CP you have to spent on PT then gets spent on the delineation move instead, and of course thats not an option if you don't specialist that particular craft. Delineation only last 7 steps and usually at best procs 3 states, 2 which would have to be tricked anyway to partially make up for the cost of delineation itself.

    I"m gonna have to bang my head on this some more. I have 452 CP with food, gotta be a better use for that extra 35 points. gonna try some other stuff on goblin jigs (the difficulty is irrelevant for testing, just the durabiltiy, before someone trolls me on this). unfortuantely, since SE really loves to make crafters squirm, they didn't give us new cross class slots with the level cap increase, so in order to get brand/name on gsm, you gotta give up two things, and all I got to give up is ToT and reclaim =(

    try converting the NQ ring after 100% SB, maybe you get a grade 2 materia ^^ (actually i hoped the new stuff would give grade 5, but i guess SE would have mentioned this)

    Grade V materia can only be obtained via the goblin lottery atm. Grade V's were to be properly added in a later patch (probably 3.1).
