I am quite ready to punch a BABY right now, don't even think for a second I won't be coming after you!
As for the rant itself; WTF IS WRONG WITH CRAFTING?!
I have a level 8 blacksmith and I was leveling up on Iron Ore-to-Ingots (level 13 synth) and everything was fine and great! 100+ Quality a synth and 1,500-2000XP per synth.
What's to bitch about? I'm level 11 now and have botched 6 attempts so far, can't get over 50 quality and when I do succeed it's only worth 300 f%#^ing XP.
MEAH! R U WEARS EQUIPS!?1 MEAH! What equipment at level 11? Why didn't I need any 3 levels ago?
WHY WHY WHY!
If this makes sense to any of you, then craft me a f$@^ing portal back to reality because this is obviously assbackwards world and I won't succeed well here.
I'm going to ask a few questions.

1) Are you using synth support from the guild?

2) Standard, Rapid, or Careful synths? Based on your post I'm guessing you aren't using standard exclusively. If not, that is the reason for your failures. You are lowering your chances of success and increasing your durability loss. Just spam standard.

3) Are you strategically using wait? Believe it or not it can be the difference between success and failure. If you find yoursel failing, leave the blinky/red crap alone lol.


All in all sometimes you have bad luck and just gotta deal with it.
