    Concentrated Spirit of Salt HQ

    So I want to craft this as HQ, so I can get the second master recipe book thingy. Issue is, I only have ALC leveled. It's at 60, i-173. Like 873 Craftmanship and 768 Control with 370 CP. Anyone I ask says I need to get all the cross class, and they say get them to 50. I don't want to level up everything to 50 just to craft this one thing.

    Anyone know how I can do this with just ALC actions? or if I -need- cross class, exactly what actions are required. Like the minimum. Thanks for the help ^-^

    Specialist skills and many sacrifices to RNGesus.

    Edit:
    I completely forgot this was lv50 craft. You should be able to do this without any cross class pretty easily with your stats.

    Which exactly, or a rotation of actions. I'm not too savvy on crafting but have wanted to get the Alchemy II masterbook thing.

    Byregot's Blessing : 50 CRP. INSANELY valuable.
    Careful Synthesis : WVR 15. Careful Synthesis 2 : WVR 50. The latter upgrades the former. Pretty useful skills. At least get CS, if not CS2.
    Hasty Touch : CUL 15. Steady Hand 2 : CUL 37. Incredibly useful skills. Got both!

    At i173 your CP seems a little on the low side.

    Your typical approach to these should be CS (CS2 if you take WVR to 50) until one more would finish. Then use Steady Hand 2 buff to improve the success rate of Hasty Touch, to build your Inner Quiet stacks. Use Master's Mend 2 to restore durability when you need to. When you're almost done, use a Byregot's Finisher then one last CS/CS2 to complete it.

    There is no method without Hasty Touch and Steady Hand 2. And your CP is low. You need at least 389, plus an HQ Baked Onion Soup, to get to any relevant rotations for HQ crafting pretty much anything with that high of a quality cap. So you'll always have a chance, it just won't be 100%.

    Try out this rotation: Eat Seafood Stew to get the extra CP.

    Good looking out, Jordan! Wasn't even aware of a tool like that.
