Heavensword 3* Crafting Rotation and Macro

[Katlyna]

Hi everyone! Three star crafting as many folks have pointed out on the forums is very similar to two star crafting. But there are some subtle differences. First as recipe difficulty goes up, the effectiveness of Ingenuity goes down. Likewise as required progress increases the effectiveness of Piece by Piece goes up. Also the Flawless Synthesis cycle is notably longer, potentially allowing for more than one ToT proc. Functionally what this means for three star crafting approaches (in contrast to two star), is rotations which use Flawless Synthesis are still very strong. Likewise Rotations using Piece by Piece are stronger and rotations using Ingenuity are weaker. In general what this means is that versions of Rath's MaMa PbP rotation are best for three star. While variations of my MaMa Careful Synth rotation are acceptable but not optimal. Below I will outline both rotations and how I current recommend they be executed for three star crafting.

Please note the pictures show 2 star items and less flawless synths than you get, MAKE sure to use up al your flawless synths. Also while executing either rotation after your flawless synth cycle, make SURE to check your progress and don't accidentally early complete your good OR fall short from completion! Also note you can use HQ Seafood Stew for these BUT you may need additional base crafting to miss the same flawless synths!

Option 1 - Modified version of Rath's MaMa PbP:

Using Rath's modified rotation you must succeed 9 out of 12 Flawless Synthesis. Three are under SH, so statistically you are only attempting to succeed 6 out of 9 flawless. This means you can almost always safely ToT once, and often safely ToT twice. Likewise if you have MAX CP and use SHI (NOT II) you can squeeze out TWO extra 18 point options (precise/basic/innovate). Note if you ToT twice you can use SHII at the end (if executing the MAX CP design). I've listed two versions one for Low CP and one for Max CP. Note that if you have slightly less CP than the low version you can change some of your SHII to SHI.

MaMa PbP (3 Star Low CP) - Required stats 878 Craftsman and 437 CP (Character base stats 850 Craftsman, 389 CP and HQ Baked Onion Soup):


MaMa PbP (3 Star Max CP) - Required stats 878 Craftsman and 470 CP (Character base stats 850 Craftsman, 422 CP and HQ Baked Onion Soup):



Option 2 - Modified version Kat's MaMa Careful Synth:
Below is a picture showing a slightly modified version of my rotation. NOTE that inner quiet was moved out of the FS cycle and you would no longer ToT during FS. This is not ideal, but this allows you to safely miss four FS at 888 craftsmanship (with HQ onion soup). At approximately 920 craftsmanship you should be able to miss five FS.

Without the removal of Inner quiet and ToT from the FS, my method simply can't miss enough FS safely. This unfortunately puts a damper on the rotation as an extra ToT is lovely and a big deal (and part of doing MaMa in the first place). But functionally the below works well enough. If you have max CP you can squeeze out an extra 18 CP for a precise touch or Innovate.
