With Careful synth, I only get 7-10 durability loss, but also only 3-5% progress completion. It doesn't take much math to figure +8% and -15 durability will leave you without enough durability to even attempt a synth after a few attempts. And I am having this issue on my lv28-30 crafts using lv28 velveteen gear and most recent upgrades to tools. For crafting levequests, this is the worst option, as it makes it more likely that you will fail to complete the leve, and most leves are giving items that are not as useful at the current level of the crafter. (example: lv30 weaver leves give diremite webs, used for a lv23 recipe only, instead of flax, which is used for a lv33 recipe).
ok... i asume your lvl 28/30 so doing lvl 30 leves... if your strugling with completion why dont you try doing the lvl 20 ones and lvl 10 ones and careful the shit out of them to get massive exp boosts.. lower recipe means easier to complete also better chance of not failing.

this is what i would do.. also personally ide just grind on a recipe that was cheap and easy to complete doing careful without doing leves pre 35/40 anyway the bonus from leves pre 40 is quite shit especialy since u can now get such huge quality bonus.

sadly i alrady have my crafts at 50 so this isnt as enjoyable for me ;p.. though it makes sb gear while crafting much easier .. and frankly i am all for this exp boost since once they raise the cap it will be most welcome when its 100k+-200K+ a lvl... 1-3k a synth that 100 or there abouts synths per lvl thats not to bad can normaly do 30-50 crafts a hour ish so a couple hours per lvl at a guestimate
