[Theory Crafting] The formula for Quality increase (control) and a TOOL !

[Corkafish]

I used this tool together with the stats from the OP's GSM gear to play with rotations. Very powerful and useful tool. Came up with a sequence that has a ~40-45% HQ chance and 0% failure rate with nothing but abilities available at 15, and without using Tricks of the Trade. Of course this will vary with the amount of CP you have available, but of all the stats, I think that's probably the one that varies the least at 50.



Inner Quiet, Hasty Touch x3, Master's Mend, Waste Not, Steady Hand, Hasty Touch x5, Master's Mend, Great Strides, Steady Hand, Hasty Touch x2, Rumination, Standard Synthesis x2.

It doesn't seem to work correctly with Piece by Piece. If I use it 3 times with Steady Hands up, it should never fail, but it gives me a 100% fail chance.

Also, Rumination sometimes returns CP, sometimes not.

Piece by piece is 1/3 of the REMAINING progress. So you can use it as many times as you want, you'll never finish a synthesis.
Rumination gives CP back based on stacks of IQ. If no touch before or all your touch failed it won't give CP back.

it 2646 for 1 star items, not 2146

Here's a better one for GSM :

What would you guys want as a feature for the next release ?

A drag and drop to insert spells into the middle of the list would be great. Sometimes I want to change Steady Hand to Steady Hand II, right now I have to clear the whole list to do it. With drag and drop, it will be very easy.

Good ! Bit complicated but should be doable !

error executing program
does it need some kind of specification? like OS or sort?

[Rainsford]

Just wanted to say: I've used this a lot for min/maxing my stats (figuring out exactly what I needed to finish in 2-hits, for example) and it saved my life when I was making a 2-star and checked how much quality I would get off my finisher (not enough) and was able to go outside my usual rotation and adjust for it! bravo!

Once we enter the recipe durability, quality, etc and our own stats and skills, the program should determine the optimal sequence of skills to use.

[ThomasGallant]

Can you add a check if you are attempting a 1/2 star recipe without the required control/craftsmanship in the rotation simulator? Granted as you don't select a recipe there it would require a check of the difficulty that is entered.

Say if the difficulty is 233 (two star items) it'll check to make sure you have the 318 control needed for that.

BTW great program, I'm impressed

Make it a mobile app (Android) - or web based - would be great to be able to use it on the mobile phone or tablet, especially for the console users.

I'm yet to reach the high enough crafting levels to benefit from this app but I like it already and will definitelly keep it ready once reaching 45+ ...

This is too tricky to do

I could theorically brute force a guess of the optimum sequence. (Meaning random like a 10000 different sequence and output only the best.) But It would make it too easy and remove the fun in my opinion. It's a tool to help you figure out for yourself the best you can do.

Still working on it, didn't have much time recently. I got the drag and drop working but it doesn't yet reorganize the sequence on the backend. Should be a matter of hours now.

This feature will probably come when I'll implement a recipe selector. If I have time for it one day

Web based is definitly doable! I'll start working on that. As soon as possible.
