ISO: Help/decent guide for Resplendent Tools crafting

[TattersailNightwish]

(yes I also posted this on the Items, Synthesis, and Gathering board - not sure why there are two boards for crafting). ANYWAY:

Hello!

I thought I had expert crafting on cruise control, doing the relic tools.
But the 5.5 resplendent grind.. holy cow..

I got two 100%'s the other night, though luck, fishing for a GOOD to go with my byregot's blessing. Since then I've been floundering to make the minimum collectability.

If you're able to do these, would you care to share your insight and tips? Gear isn't a problem, I'm in fully melded hq crafted, no problem there.
Or if you know of a good site which really clicked for you.

I don't know if I'm going to actually grind out more than one of these tools, I just like the challenge and want to know I CAN do it it.

Thank you!

I'll be frank with you. I have not done any crafting for the Resplendent tool. I am having Expert Recipe fatigue at the moment, and I am too busy doing MIN and BTN for the Pteranodon (finished all DoH and FSH long ago) to start another grind. But I did write up an Expert Recipe guide earlier, and I wonder if it helps:

I plan to do this Resplendent thing when I am at lvl 90 in Endwalker and have nothing to do.

I took a look at that, and will play with it tonight. It's very different than what I had done with the most recent Relic tools, but some of your technique may translate over to the Resplendent thing a little better.

Thanks very much!
