    3* progress values

    Here's the values I jotted down earlier from my 3* synth. You can do the math to figure out your progress with your Craftsmanship.

    854 Craftsmanship
    --------------------
    No ING2
    Basic Synthesis - 99
    Careful Synthesis II - 119
    Standard Synthesis - 149
    Rapid Synthesis - 248

    --------------------
    With ING2
    Basic Synthesis - 151
    Careful Synthesis II - 182
    Standard Synthesis - 227
    Rapid Synthesis - 379

    --------------------
    Piece by Piece - 544
    Piece by Piece (2nd one) - 365
    Makers Mark grants a 17 stack.

    Good luck figuring out your rotations.

    thanks!
    Seems 2 pbp + 10FS + 3CS 2 will net you enough progress even with minimum craftsmanship (544+365+400+118? x3= 1663)

    rath"s 2star rotation still kicking ass in 3 star recipes

    During the FS phase, 4 steps spent on CZ ST 2x pbp, need to success 10 (3 are covered by ST) out of the remaining 13 FS attempts and one extra CS2 can lower this to 7 FS , ToT is still very affordable

    Thanks for the info dump (My Craftsmanship is pretty much the same). Haven't had a chance to craft anything yet but it looks like there will only be a small change to my rotation and 4 failed FS will still be doable. Not only that, but the extra FS steps leave room for more chances at a Good too.

    Rath's original rotation would work consistently only at high levels of Craftsmanship when it comes to 3*, otherwise you would have to sacrifice a potential IQ stack for an additional CS2 as you mentioned. Not as good in terms of Quality but still very effective.

    Edit: Nevermind, forgot 850 Craftsmanship requirement for 3*

    I've made a few HQ rings with GSM. The final synth is pretty easy since it's easy to get all hq mats at that point. You end up with like 5000+ starting quality. Hard to nq at that point.

    Can you please share the rotation you used? I'm on similar craftsmanship as you are so your rotation would work for me.

    I suspect my rotation is going to work with higher craftsmanship and Ingenuity II. But I won't be able to validate until I can get some more recipes and hunt down some parts. Think I'll be pushing 880ish craftmanship with food.

    891 craftsmanship gives 124 progress for a CS2
    I did over 40 3stars crafting yesterday
    Rath's rotation really worked well, only one time I have failed/ToT more than 4 FS and need an extra CS2 to complete the craft
    Also, if you succeed all 13 FS, your craft will be completed earlier by 2 more CS2

    Here's what I do.

    Makers mark>whistle>comfort zone>flawless til out of mark>inner quiet>steady hand II>Ingenuity 2>rapid synth til 1 or 2 hits away from finishing>hasty touch spam>Master's Mend II when 10 durability>hasty touch spam>Nymeia's wheel when at 10 durability>great strides>innovation>byregots>finish with careful II

    Obviously refresh comfort zone as it falls off (unless you're about to finish) and adjust for goods, using tricks of the trade/ precise touches/satisfaction when you can. Just watch your CP and you can decide whether to use tricks or precise at the given time.


    I still see PbP as a waste of a cross class slot but I guess you could use that if you wanted if you just hate ingenuity.
