@Vidu: IF you're going to use Hasty Touch, you need Steady Hands 2. Even with SH2 you will get these times where you just fail 4 out of 5 times on SH2. SH1 is just... not going to cut it whatsoever.

Also, the OP should do Weaver long enough to get Careful Synthesis. Nothing sucks worse than getting that 10% fail rate on Basic Synth.

Basically, your routine should look like this:

Inner Quiet -> Careful Synthesis until 1 away from finishing the recipe -> Master's Mend II when needed (or if the CP penalty is too high, Master's Mend I). Use Tricks of the Trade (another must-have) anytime you get a "Good" or "Excellent" during this phase.

Once that is done, pop Steady Hands 2 and then use Hasty Touches for the duration of SH2 (and/or Mending when necessary). If you have 50GP and you're getting close, you can Great Strides+Basic Touch for a "big finish".

Once you're out of CP, finish off with 1 last Careful Synth and pray for HQ.

OR, optionally, get your crafters to 50, start moogles, and then come back to this quest once you get some of the Heavensward Abilities such as Careful Synth II or Byregot's Blessing/Brow. Great Strides + Byregot's Brow (50CP for both) is basically guaranteed HQ on anything in Vanilla and IIRC you get that at 52 (IIRC?) on all classes if you got at least 3-4 stacks of Inner Quiet.
