Testing 1436 synthesis

[cearka]

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).

maybe I'll wait to convert it til that later patch then. not like I can. I've done a ton crafts with it and its gone up like 2% lol.


I updated OP with actual numbers from the Rumination test.

[Peka]

I did spiritbond an astral birch ring and conversion resulted in a grade IV craftsmans cunning materia.
Like you i found that crafting increased spiritbonding extremely slowly, and only level 60 one and two star recipes seemed to increase it at all.
However the ring is usable by combat classes, and I found that with two melds on the ring, a complete run of Neverreap increased SB by 14% and Fractal continuum by 20%

If that is progress for name/brand under Ing 2, then I am sad face. Also, am i the only one who does MM and Use all FS up before proceeding? I may use tricks toward the end of the stack to fill back up, ut I can't see risking cp or mm stack on anything without sh2.

[_Kakera_]

I like my startup of MaM + WWYW + CZ and then taking any goods that pop up with TotT while also using every free FS. Usually, I end up with 2 stacks of Whistle down when I'm done, so I have 9 stacks, and so CSII does a crapton of Progress. I use CSII twice or as long as my stacks of Whistle are at 9, without completing the craft and keeping just 1 hit away from finishing it up. This entirely costs me 0 CP at all, since I regained it all with TotT and CZ (sometimes I even regain more than I spent) and only 20 dur to pretty much finish the item. That's on no-star crafts, though. For 2stars, most likely there's better rotation... for now at least.

[cearka]

Well, using the above rotation, I managed to get 8 stacks and 82% to HQ. This was after HQing the astral birch lumber. This time took far longer cause I catually used my own token and farmed my own green oilds and a friend gave me 10 void nuts. T-T
will post screen shots after melding though. this piece appears to not need alot of high materia to cap.

edit:
I"m gonna add any notes I have to top post from now on.

Did you use your exact rotation above and still have enough progress?

[cearka]

yes. it has 5 completion steps (muscle memory, then name+brand+brand, and IGII+CSII+CSII), for a total of 1446/1436. This requires a very high craftmanship to pull off, as anything short of around 750 means you won't complete. If you have excess CP, you also have some flexibility if a good state pops.

Can you check out the 60 2 star rotation OP. His name/brand data conflicts with yours and I am wondering if you are missing your numbers from name/brand 3 and actually used your number from the 4th hit by mistake.

Seems that way, yes.
