Crafting rotations

I checked your profile.
So I see that, apart from WVR 50, you have GSM 50 too. So you do have Innovation.



I'd recommend using Waste Not instead of Manipulation when dealing with 70 or 80 durability items, since Waste Not is more CP efficient. However, keep in mind NOT to take 2 Trick of Trades within the 4 steps of Waste Not, as that will result in loss of durab. Also, if you're already having a 5 durab overhang, don't take any Trick of Trades during Waste Not, as that will also result in loss of durab.

Even for 40 durab items, Waste Not is still a viable skill. But Manipulation does have its advantages regarding better flexibility in utilization of Good/Excellent conditions. So you can use Manip for 40 durab items. There was a time when I enjoyed using 1 Waste Not and 1 Manip in a single rotation for crafting 40 durab items.

At low levels, Hasty Touch is a better choice than Basic Touch in most cases, as the CP saved allows you to either use more Waste Not or Manipulation.

About 5 years ago, I drafted a low-CP rotation for low level crafting classes. I am attaching below. You may take a quick look.


I have assumed some Trick of Trades which I used to replenish CP. I have also used Master's Mend once in the rotation as well. And lastly, I used Rumination.

Alternatively, instead of sacrificing the IQ stack for CP using Rumination in the end, you can set up a Great Strides, Innovation, Basic/Standard Touch as a final push of quality before using Careful Syn II to finish at the end.
