Please fix / buff/ whatever Quick Synthesis

[Princess_Momoka]

We are in 2 star stats now for 70, Why am I breaking level 64-68 materials off quick synth? I should not be breaking these things when they are 100% in 1 or 2 hits. Things take too long to do when you still have to craft each mat by itself and I just broke 2/7 twin silk just now, using the 300 yellow scrip tool + melding the 290 gear that gives me more stats then yellow script gear.

I mean it is not exactly hard to meld better then the yellows:


Basically I am asking why am I am sill breaking with the best currently out there.

I haven't broken anything under star using quick synth since I hit 1345 Craftmanship but I may need to do quick synth more just to check. So it may have to do with a your Craftmanship to prevent breaking.

I think I've broken two whole items out of everything I've quick synthed since hitting 70. It already seems pretty rare.

I can't seem to find where I read it recently but someone posted somewhere else that they have over 1500 craftsmanship and still fail some quicksynths.

Oh nevermind it's A FEW POSTS BELOW YOURS

I noticed that too. Not into big stats yet or anything, but I have stats over the required, seeing a lot of failures (like a LOT), and last try got zero HQ off old 50 stuff. Something is up.

Yeah, I didn't have this problem in HW. I could start reliably quick synthing almost everything once I got my white set. I hope this isn't a new direction they're planning to take because quick synth was already kind of underwhelming as it is.

I've been lucky, did around 100 items the other day with no loss items. This was before melding too.

I'm unsure if there's a formula for quick synth, but I do remember last xpack they patched a fix for quick synth when you had a certain level of craft.

It's ilvl based, not stat based.

It's ilvl based, not stat based.

Yeah, I think so, to a degree at least. I'm ilvl 290 on my character doing quick synth and I'll get 1 fail, 1 HQ, and the rest normal in 50 ~ 75 quick synths with lvl 68 stuff. I still think that 1 fail is wrong. I shouldn't fail anything and I should have more HQ.

That said, I do think there is something wrong with the lvl 64 ~ 66 quick synth. I get far more failures quick synthing worsted string (as an example) than I do with twinthread. This with a weaver that 290 ilvl. It seems hinky. It could be just really bad luck but it's been consistent for the entire time I've been level 70 in each of my classes.

Think you have just been lucky on the level 68's and unlucky on the 64-66. i290 with 1370 craft and find fail rate on level 66 is around 2-3% and 5-6% on the 68's. In HW i remember not being able to quick syn the level 68 to 69 stuff to I was full i170. So I guess it depends if we consider the i290 the i170 sets or the i150 set. Personally think we getting sets/set in 4.1 so that one should let us fully quick syn.
