Help on HQing Items!

[Cromax]

I'm not a big fan of the Hasty Touch approach. The only way Hasty Touch spam works is if you get a lot of good procs. If you don't get any, or hardly get any, you end up ending early because you don't have any more CP for manipulation or steady hands. In short, it's not an endless process that allows you 100% HQ every time.

There's nothing wrong with using Waste Not, simply because you don't need CP from a good proc. The Hasty Touch spam is mostly going to work only with a lot of the good level 50 cross skills. It won't do you much good when you're leveling your first crafting class to 50 and have just a handful of the level 15 cross skills.

Terrible advice.

With all of the 15 cross-class skills except for Rapid Synthesis and Ingenuity, I'm HQing nearly everything that's my level or lower on each of my classes that are still under 20. At 25 culinary, I'm HQing nearly everything that I can make at that level.

You're obviously doing it wrong.
