Qaulity increase

[Concreteman]

Hi. Looking for a little advice on the quality steps for the i320 crafting/ gathering gear. I do the makers move then CZ,IQ,SH2 then 2 PBP. After that I start the FS refreshing CZ and grabbing ToT until cp is full. That normally leaves me 50 dur 523 cp. looking for advice on what to do after that. My stats are craft 1342/cont 1245. Ty in advance

I do three PbP’s (brings it down to 40 Durability). I’ll also try taking the first two Goods as Precise Touch (not likely to be covered by SH, so somewhat risky) and toss in a MM2, the earlier the better. This brings me back up to 70 Durability and usually most, if not all, of my CP back due to the remaining Tricks taken and CZ’s.

You'll want to pick up as much CP as you can get so spend down CP before it's refilled.

As for quality steps, it really depends on what your starting quality is. At 13K quality, you could potentially complete the craft near RNG free. 6K+ isn’t bad either. All NQ is a completely different beast, however, as the quality requirements are harsh.

Basically, your “traditional” IQ stack building steps and your ingenuity 2 buff finisher will give you maybe 60% of the required quality at best. I can only think of one way of pushing the required amount of quality and that is by using a ton of Ingenuity buffed touch steps.

You can usually aim for up to 9 ingenuity buffed touch steps. Now, this is where I find it a bit tricky. The number of touches that you’ll use will be variable so you will want to be able to judge when it is the best time to start applying the buffs. Judge/optimize well and you have a good shot at 100% or at least 85%+.
