3* progress values

[Katlyna]

I've been grinding the numbers and running various tests and the conclusion I'm coming to is something I suspected would happen when three star released. As the item difficulty goes up Ingenuity (1 and 2) become less valuable and effective. And as the progress required goes up, Piece by piece becomes more valuable. I believe this is the the break point where my MaMa+Careful Synth rotation falls behind a MaMa+PbP rotation. I've tested both out and fundamentally as people highlighted in this thread MaMa+PbP goes exceptionally far without requiring more craftmanship. I'll be posting the variation I'm using sometime tomorrow. Looks like if you have max CP (I imagine if you're doing 3 star you're pretty darn close) you can easily fit in two 18 point precise or one precise and Innovate. You nip this in simply by flipping the last SHII to SHI. Outside of that I don't think there are any other changes to be made. Though I do prefer doing the careful synths immediately after WNII.

I'll see about recording a video this week showing this method on some three star items. Though I'm fairly certain no one in this thread actually needs to see said content lol.

I came here hoping I didnt need to stop using your rotation So if you can modify your rotation for the new content and post it up by tomorrow I'd be set again.

Your rotation has always won out for me against raths which is always being so highly praised. Simply because it's always been solid.

Please keep up the good work, believe it or not at least half the 2star crafters on my server use a variation of your rotation instead of raths.

Haha thanks for the support Link! You certainly can still use a variation of my rotation still (and I'll probably show a video of both) But statistically speaking MaMa+PbP is going to measurably win out due to how scaling works out. Which I really hate because I know my rotation crazy well and at 2 star it has certain benefits over Raths. Most notable being you could push an amazing amount of quality with the minimum stats. And with the secondary bonus of scaling really nicely as your craftsmanship went up. Unfortunately these aren't true any more so my rotation isn't scaling so hot. Still drives quality really well, but the progress is getting sticky.
