Argh!

I would have put my keyboard through my monitor if that happened. The opportunity cost of 2-star crafts (especially the 3 and 4 scrip mat ones) is just too high to leave up to SE's shitty rng roulette of a crafting system. 98% HQ should give you an item with 98% of the stats HQ items currently give you, not a 2% chance to get a completely worthless item. I quit crafting because of how stressful the 2-star stuff is right now.

My suggestion to you is pentameld it with some junk materia and find someone with maxed out dBSM to desynth it for you to try and get a few of the ingots back.
