    Sorry for the noob question, but what does MaMa rotation refer to? is that the flawless synth stuff from ironworks?

    I still have no idea where to even start for these new items. wasted a ton of money on re-melding (pentamelding can die in a fire) and now my base cp is at 464 unbuffed.

    for progress I've been relying on muscle memory, 2 pbp's and 2 rapid synth II's (which usually just fail anyway, because this game thinks 90%=60%) but when it does succeed, I can finish the item with a csII.
    on to quality... I don't even... just. Yup. Kind of overwhelmed. I can barely get past 5% quality. How the heck do we get 28k quality without breaking the item... x_x

    This has been super frustrating so far.

    Makers Mark. And to get top quality you probably need almost all HQ mats going in until you're better geared. With HQ twinthread, Twinsilk, and true griffin leather, I started at about 5-6% and ended around 60 (though my rotation clearly needs work as I ended with about 25 durability remaining).

    Start out with Makers Mark, Comfort Zone, steady hand I, piece by piece x2, then the really fun part!

    FS = flawless synthesis

    FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS FS (literally 60 times)

    And if you're feeling really cheeky, you can tricks of the trade once or twice to be at full cp.

    Aim for 472CP base, capped, minimum stats on crafts and control are fine, so just meld according to that, which bearing in mind that speciality gives 20/20 boost, and if you plan on making the new stuff then just meld craftsmanship to minimum, CP to cap (472), and Control as high as you possibly can.

    MaMa = Maker's Mark; MuMu = Muscle Memory; GS = Great Strides; Ing2 = Ingenuity II; BB = Byregot's Blessing.

    For rotations, all I will be willing to say at this point is Heavensward rotations on steroids.

    Thank you very much.
    My stats are 1327 craftmanship, 472 cp and 1221 control without food atm. For food I used Seafood Stew. Would this be enough to craft the new gear in hq?

    Do you mean a specific heavensward rotation cause I have no idea what you mean. I never played heavensward, sry for the dumb question

    Is there something I should know about specialist? I dont rly know how they work cause I never used them.

    RyDarrick, look up something called Rath’s Rotation. That is what they are talking about using, though the current recipe has a whole lot more Flawless Synthesis in it than the original Rath’s Rotation did.

    Basically, use it as a guideline, not a hard and fast recipe for success.
