    Multi-Manual Synthesising Suggestion

    I'm making this thread to get feedback and suggest the idea of an option to manually craft more than one of an item at a type without having to click through the crafter's window.

    Perhaps in the Quick Synthesis menu there could be an Automatic and Manual option, where doing the Automatic option would have the current penalties of Quick Synthesis, and the Manual would allow for multiple hand crafting of the same item without the window popping up after every attempt.

    Why not make an extra button for this "Assembly Line Synthesis".
    You can choose the quantity like in "Quick Synthesis" but then have to synthesis every craft on its own.

    If I'm going through a full rotation manually, I don't really mind clicking through the window a couple extra times since it doesn't add much. But I'd love this for the times where I want to just CS2 my way through a bunch of crafts because I don't trust Quick Synth to do it right. (They punish the use of spiritbonding gear in quick synth really hard in HW.)

    What I'd like better than that, though, is to have some control over what the game thinks I'm doing during quick synth. Right now the success rate seems to be just a roll against the recipe difficulty and your stats, without being any sort of simulation of attempting to craft the item. I get why they wouldn't want to do a full simulation with every quick synth, but it would be nice if we could tell the game "Act like I'm using Careful Synth II, or Steady Hand into Standard Synthesis" at a basic level (this still works out to just being a check against your Craftsmanship or CP.) Or just have the game take into account that it's a possibility. Basically, if a player can complete the synth 100% of the time with one button, there's no reason Quick Synth should ever be failing.

    I guess the difference of this suggest shines through more if you are used to craft with the keyboard hot keys for the action bar instead of mouse clicks (or controller). At least for me the craft skills are of left hand but having to click once in the craft window in between is on the mouse, right hand. While this is obviously a quality of life suggestion, for me it would mean I could have coffee mug on my free hand through patch crafting, or something like that as I wouldn't have to touch the mouse throughout multiple crafts.

    If you say 'pls' because it's shorter than 'please', I say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.

    The crafting window will have the item you just made selected when you finish crafting it. Assuming you still have the mats in the quantity/quality you selected the last time, you can start another one by hitting Confirm (default keybind is numpad 0) twice.

    And of course, you can re-bind this. I actually have G added as an alternative keybind for Numpad 0, which is handy for when I'm playing the game one-handed.
