    Getting HQ crafting

    Is it normal for a lvl 50 GSM (crafting Rose gold Ingots) to never get higher than 1% HQ using normal materials and the following skills:
    Piece by Piece
    Byregot's Blessing
    Innovation
    Manipulation
    Comfort zone.

    The equipment I have is not too bad, I can list it if needed. Looking for some feedback.

    Ditch manipulation for master mend or any Dura+ ability

    edit
    do you use all NQ mats? copper ore, gold ore?
    HQ copper ore is cheap you know

    anyway, IIRC I could get around 400-500 q when using all NQ

    Yes, I can't speak to that specific combination of abilities, but with NQ materials, it is entirely possible - even with unoptimized gear - to get in the 10-14% range (I'd say probably 20% with the best of the best abilities, 24% with best of the best gear and abilities). You may want to play around with your ability set. I won't suggest specific sets, because everyone has their own thing, and they work equally well for the most part. You just need to find what works best for you. Set a goal mark of trying to get at least 10% on over half of your synths with your current gear.

    Quality 700+ from what I can tell and it's pretty much a no go without +1 to +3 mats.

    I've made +3 gear and skill wasn't a factor. Just my experience.

    with nq mats you will struggle to get it to hq unless it's a synth wayyyyy below your rank. 10-20% is about the best you can hope for with nq mats on that synth.

    Just to catch you up. legacy +2 and 3 materials carry the same weight as +1 mats. The ability to create +2 and 3 finished items was removed ages ago.
