    4* crafting rotation?

    Anyone mind sharing a rotation for 4* 70 durability? Can't afford to fail with these expensive mats..
    I have these stats with baked onion soup.

    Craftsmanship: 1010
    Control: 957
    CP: 474

    Im just using the regular rath rotation (google it) with 996 craftmanship (for realz, CSII 132 progress, still making it to full with only 3 progresses) and 956 control, just changing the food for seafood stew.

    yep there's nothing new about 4 star rotation, it's the same as 3/3.5 star. Just once again you add more flawless synth to meet the new progress number, that's it.

    I've been using this variant of Rath's with 12 hasties (1 without SH2) and 2 synthesis actions, but I'm not sure how much better or worse it is than some of the other variants mentioned here. Ignore the IW placeholder in the simulator as it doesn't really change the rotation - you just add more flawless synthesis actions, and it still completes in two synthesis actions(CS2 + ing2 CS2). If you fail 3 or more flawless synthesis's, you have to convert that unbuffed hasty into another CSII, standard Rath's stuff.



    Something I'm wondering about, but I'm kind of lazy to test until the simulator sites get updated, is whether we can fit an extra CZ in the flawless synthesis phase of 4 star crafts. They have so many flawless synthesis steps now that when the first CZ wears off, there are still 9 steps to go, which is very close to the 10 needed to fit another CZ in before the quality pushing phase - but you sacrifice one flawless synth worth 40 progress of course.

    More or less what I do, except instead of waste not 2 I use whistle while you work at the start and nymeia's wheel at the very end. Only need 2 goods throughout the whole synth (which rarely ever doesn't happen) and you end up with way more CP than other rotations for more basic/precise touches instead of hasty touches. My favorite rotation.

    Rumination is a placeholder for Flawless Synthesis. Ironworks item is a placeholder for a 4* item. This ONLY works on 4*.

    3 FT can fail/ToT at 1044 craft
    2 FT can fail/ToT at <1044 craft

    If >3 FT fail/ToT, replace any hasty touch with CSII.

    It's possible the craftsmanship number is slightly less than 1044.

    You can, but you need to do the maths for the next CS2. And you may override the CZ that comes next, to avoid messing up with WN2. 457 CP that way.

    Mr. SmallHobbit - when you can, can you please post what macro (or steps) you're using? I'd love to get started with even Ironworks stuff.

    1022 or 1023 craftsmanship = 198 careful synthesis 2 with ingenuity 2

    muscle memory -> piece by piece x 2 -> ingenuity 2 + careful synthesis 2 x 3 if you want to just barely make it. It sucks that I need 14 or 15 craftsmanship and I just need that one last meld on my chestpiece and I would reach it (with fully pentamelded v on the chestpiece, 2 control + 3 craftsmanship).
