    To stabilize your synthesis. It will usually go back to white after use.

    It's basically to use a step doing nothing, not using up durability, not gaining anything.

    Its only real use is getting rid of Poor, or using it after Great Stride to maybe get a Good or Excellent status.

    Imo is is absolutely useless considering there are always better options.

    Edited:

    I did not realize that Condition only affected Touches. I grant that this makes Observe less useful, but it's still the cheapest way to reroll Condition when you don't want to do a Synth step, and the other free abilities aren't available to you.

    The Poor status doesn't affect Synths though.

    Synths are actually the best ways to get past a poor status, as long as it doesn't finish the item.

    Observe is the last resort for getting rid of a "poor" condition. I use it when a single Careful Synth would finish the craft before I'm ready to, or when I can't sacrifice some durability for a Hasty Touch. Ever since I got Rumination, I've had to use Observe a lot less while mass producing HQ thread and undyed cloth.
