Thread: shb 2* 100%hq from nq after 5.2 (also works on 3* with higher stats.)

So because I'm lazy I did not actually bother to craft the newest set of tools (Facet) before 5.2 came out.

This patch effectively breaking the previous rotations with the removal of ingenuity.
or at least I assume so since I did not try any of the previous rotations since patch without ingen being available.

I decided to quickly work out a rotation that would allow me to craft these tools from zero starting quality (no hq mats).
The benefit of my being lazy should be shared I thought for all the crafters who were right there with me or even further back and want to catch up.

so as follows...



70 shb2* 2140 craft, 1990 control, 541cp,
hq matcha, hq cunning craftmans syrup
0 starting condition (no hq mats)

thx goes to ffxivteamcraft.com for updating the simulator and allowing me to test this.
the link should show the rotation but you will have to enter the base stats and level as those are not saved in the link.

----------------------------------------

just for full disclosure I did not use the above rotation as I already had made the facet gear set
and my stats and rotation I used were as follows.


70 shb2* 2261 craft, 2173 control, 541cp,
hq matcha, hq cunning craftmans tea
0 starting condition (no hq mats)

well hope that helps people catch up.

Also btw the first rotation actually works on the newer 3* crafts
my stats were 2556 craftmanship 2279 control and 541 cp i used Blood Bouillabaisse(HQ) food and Cunning Craftsman's Tea(HQ)
and easily hq'd from 0 starting quality.

@chidarake thank you for posting this. Coming back to the patch I never made my faucet gear and now all of my macros do not work. So I tried the one you posted above since my beginning stats matches yours a little and I was able to Hq the crafting helm! Do you happen to have one for the 35 durability ones? Such as ethereal silk, leathers or the fiber glass?

i used this but its not a min stat rotation. but since i didnt need hq i just didnt bother working one out.

Yes thanks for posting.
The last time i crafted something and it turned out was the Dwarven gear. I want to attempt the Neo gear but i truly think i for sure need more melds and unsure if macros can be used :/

Thank you so much!
