rng crafting is awful

[ramsesh]

It sounds like you're struggling because you're trying to aim for max collectability. Don't even bother, it's nearly impossible.
There's macros on "The Balance" Discord server to get you consistent tier 2 rewards. Check it out.
I used them and got my tool ezpz, just had to buy more materials than the last step.

It’s a little concerning you claim them to be “nearly impossible” when all it takes is a carefully planned rhythm and using the right ability when the right proc happens. Like Jojoya I managed to get my tools in about 22-23 turn ins, those 2-3 being T1-2 failures because procs didn’t play nicely and give me a good Byregot’s.

At any rate, as someone else said, as much as it sucks, RNG is about the only way they can “spice things up” in crafting...aside from artificially forcing scarcity of materials.
