Hi guys if I could get some crafting help

[LazyMemories]

That'd be great lol.
I just recently got my last craft to 50 and I'm looking for a usual set up to help me along the way to 60.
If I'm doing something wrong please let me know.
I start off with comfort zone, inner Quiet, then steady hand 2, if there isn't a good or excellent I go for Piece by Piece.
If there is hasty touch, till I get a few stacks then Blessing but that only usually puts me up not even halfway like 30% at best for HQ. I can progress easily just the HQ I'm at a stand still.
Should I pop another comfort zone or use waste not after steady hand 2?
So many outcomes D:

There's an actual separate forum for crafters where it might be easier to get help and find other information on rotations there. Just in case you didn't know.

What's your gear look like? The HT dance served me fine through all of 50-60, but then again I also had the nifty crafting gear from the end of 2.x so starting out was never a problem. I can't recall my exact CP number, but with some minor +CP food it was enough to use a MMII and closing quality chain of SHII-GS-IQ-BB with breathing room. I'd count up any ToTs I got and convert those into BTs during the post-MMII part instead of a HT. If you're having a lot of trouble, you might consider sticking with daily turn-ins to creep up to 51 when you can get HW crafting gear which will make the process much easier. Another thing to look into if you have access to a lot of materials, is that when you use one of those commercial exp scrolls, you'll make more exp/hour doing mass quick synthing than if you were to full-HQ your synths. If you have all the crafts at 50 and did their Lv50 HW quests, you'll be sitting on quite a few of the scrolls.

Also potentially check the prices on mats vs NPC-sold equipment. I can't say if it's the case on your server, but on mine the mats were far more expensive in a pile than the vendor's price for the finished product. For some crafts I ended up selling quick-synthed mats on the markets then purchased gear used for single-item leves at an NPC and spammed them. Keep an eye out for the "Name of" abilities, once you get them they turn the applicable Brands into massive progress boosters which'll save you some CSII steps. Another huge thing is that at Lv53 you get Precise Touch, which is 18CP and can only be used during good/excellent to do a BT/HT-amount of quality progress, but it also gives two stacks of IQ when used instead of one.

Also check some youtube videos on it. I know I watched Mithrie Menethil's crafting videos and it helped me immensely with making constant HQ items.
