This is why I craft exclusively in HQ parts. You can CP craft and get 100% at level, even 2 levels above level with all HQ. It falls on it face with forced NQ from desynth and exclusive, vendor mats but to the core of my comments on this thread, you can craft HQ and void RnG. Mostly it's going to take far more prep work and you won't really save time but if RnG spam grinds your gears like it does mine, it's an option. It's also why everything post ARR is so unappealing to me. You are forced to RnG spam. You can't get HQ unless you eat and breathe FF14 for weeks on end. Even then, stuff like Demi III's simply can't be obtained HQ.
