New rotation?

(some have suggested using Byregot's Miracle from specialist)

So much for Anti-Homogenization.

Already tried looking at that, but really I wouldn't consider it as much of an option, at least with how large the progress and quality pools are. Mainly because looking at the entirety of the rotation your aim would be to build 11 IQ stacks as quick as possible so you can use Miracle asap, then move in and go for a Byregot's Brow after you've built up what you can. So if you fail the initial Patient Touch, or don't get a Precise by some miracle then you've pretty much crippled rotation, unless you do it on the fly so to speak. (edit) Saying that it seems most rotations I've seen or tried seem to follow the build 11 stacks immediately, as at the '12th' stack you get around 1300 quality per touch lol

So we use initial prep and go for 8 w/ reflect or should we use reflect to have those three stacks count immediately? Or not use them at all?

Doubtful. The progress is so huge there's really no other option than makers to start, imo.

You're right. I'm getting the hang of it. I still can't get HQ if the majority of the items aren't HQ to being with, but I've made 4 pieces (and the subsequent fibers) HQ right now -- all with at least 89% chance for HQ (most with 100% -- this comes mostly down to RNG luck: procs, what failed, and if I was able to start the quality part with 70/70 Dura and all my CP.)

I do think I've figured this out on one issue: This is totally the developers answer to macros. I dub these The Macro Killer (because are you going to make a macro that has 65 FTs in it? and getting to 11 stacks isn't the end goal so much now. xD) This is like the crafting team read the 'WTF SE?! We're already at 2 star crafting and people made a macro that works most every time on the first day! This sucks!'
