Heavensword 3* Crafting Rotation and Macro

Does the IngII double Hasty+BB work out better than just a standard Rath rotation (+1 FT) adding in Innovation?

Hmm... how should I describe this? The value of an Innovation is roughly equivalent to an extra stack of IQ in improving BB. If you are in a position where the durability is available, it is usually better to simply spend that 18CP on a BT. In situations where durability is at a premium, then Innovation gives you the same net effect minus the loss of durability. Innovation is also great to use if you happen to have an excess of CP available. Having said that, in this particular case, Ingenuity II provides a stronger boost in overall quality and will likely continue to do so in even more difficult crafts. As the difficulty level of a craft increases, Ingenuity becomes more valuable, whereas Innovation remains static in its effect. This is my perspective on it.

Additionally, if you like to play around with it to see, you can test it using a 2star item (since Ingenuity is broken for 3star at the moment). Use the exact same sequence, but subtract 2 FS. Check out the potential quality with Innovation instead of Ingenuity 2, and also compare at various stacks of IQ (remove some HTs).

Same sequence, but for 2star:
