After that, cross your fingers and pray you get the super mega animation. Because that means you got a high quality item! Hopefully, it won't be the shattering crystal animation. Because that means you broke it. Sad face. Don't fret if you make a normal quality item! You can always desynthesize it and either break it, or get a random item back. Then you can try it all over again!
I have played something like that before in some other games, but that would mean the synthesis requires no puzzle-solving aspect, and would instead rely 100% on RNG.... No, thanks! I don't wanna play that ever again...
