Time: All times after patch 4.0
Frequency: All times synthesizing 1 and 2 star level 60 recipes, most likely the same behavior with 3 and 4 star level 60 recipes

Steps:
1. Begin synthesis of Champhor (2 star level 60 recipe; I had Craftsmanship 870, Control 837, and CP 391 using Oyster Confit)
2. Use Inner Quiet
3. Use Steady Hand 2
4. Use Waste Not 2
5. Build Inner Quiet stacks to 9 or more by using Hasty Touch or Precise Touch, refresh Steady Hand 2 when needed, and for each gain in quality, note the amount
6. Use Master's Mend
7. Use Steady Hand
8. Use Great Strides
9. Use Innovation (check character dialog that Control is over 2000)
10. Use Byregot's Blessing
11. Note the amount of Quality gained is nearly identical to the amount of Control (~2000)
12. Repeat these steps with any 0 star level 60 recipe
13. Note the amount of Quality gained is more than twice the amount of Control (>4000)
14. Compare the amounts of quality gained noted from step 5
15. Prior to patch 4.0, the amount of quality gain in step 10 for 0 star, 1 star, and 2 star scenarios were equal (this might be a bug? Not sure if that was intended?)
