Getting HQ crafting

[Shosasosa]

for something that has to be HQ (like the flawless weapon parts) i go all out on quality boosting. And wear as much control as possible

I careful till rainbow then BB+MO > BB+Purification > BB+HS. if u get lucky u can get about 500 quality on those 3 synths alone. (if i dont get rainbow by the time i have 30ish dura left i just pop BB and HS or Pura and then hope one of the next two colors are rainbow. This can get up to about 400-500 qual in those 3 synths. when i hit 9 durabilitiy or lower i pop GC and if most of my carefuls werent 3% (careful gives 3-5% progress every time) you wlll be at 45-50% progress. when u pop GC u have 3 rapids to make up the final progress to finish the synth. each rapid gives 15-20% guaranteed with GC on. so if u have 45% to go ur golden. if u have anything in the upper 50s you might need to gamble on a 4th rapid to finish. most the time on high level synths i make it to like 45-50% so i have to get a few extra progress on my 3 GCs to finish.

This method relys on the 3 super boosted quality synths to make it worth while but since NQ results for class weapon parts are useless i think it works best

got 4/13 HQ eye of lightning with NQ lightning rock,lv 30 synth.

took me half hour, I think it doesn't worth because i could get more valuable items through mining.

ALso wanted to point out that if youre doing 50+ synths youre not gonna get more than like 170 quality gains on successes anyway. with those kind of synths i use a few HQ mats and usually get a total of about 300-400 quality above what the starting quality was. on lower than lvl40 synths its easy to stack upwards of 6-700 quality from NQ

With all NQ, I usually get about 3~5% on average and ~10% when lucky. (+400 to +500 quality)
I use: (This ability set works better on average.)
Byregot's
Culmination
Perfection
Greater Calling
one +125% ability

My equipment allows me to hit 300 DEX (all double-melded) and about a combined 290+ worth of craftsmanship with ~100 or so control.

Do not use Magnum Opus for recipes above 50. You'll fail most of the time.

And you should aim for 120/120 physical and magic craftsmanship to reduce action failures. Stack on your favorite one after that.

Tehy are going to be revising the crafting system greatly come ARR, and reducing the need to level up many craft classes to be able to achieve reasonable HQ rates on any one craft.

I do kinda hope it still gives some benefit, even if a small one if you have more DoH at high lvl
