PSA Use 72 subcraft 122 main craft for this gear and you HQ2 often (Don't pay a lot of gil)

Chances of high-quality tiers:
Once the game has decided that your synthesis will be a high-quality, it will determine the high-quality tier. The benefit of this once again depends on the synthesis, as certain items (namely consumables like bullets or food) gain a boost in quantity while others have no change in results or only one HQ result. Craftskill plays absolutely no bearing on this calculation.

The chance of the HQ being a HQ1 is 12/16
The chance of the HQ being a HQ2 is 3/16
The chance of the HQ being a HQ3 is 1/16
For crafts with only 1 HQ, this check is irrelevant and may not actually be performed.
For crafts with no HQ3 but an HQ2, the ratio may be slightly different depending on the implementation SE used.

Someone in the limbus thread suggested:


But that flies against the accepted knowledge of how HQ tiers work.

So all you need to do is use 1 of the subcraft gear?

This just means that SE has reached the limit of previously established parameters. SE will have to expand crafting in some way in the future to create a path forward.

Perhaps this is common knowledge but since it’s not often mentioned, I’d like to point out that beyond the rank of Expert, there are several (in .dats) that have never been implemented: Authority, Luminary, Master, Grandmaster, and Legend.

You forgot the part about losing 15k tokens and wasting 30 minutes because an order lamp floor popped up when you still had 5 minutes in the area.

Nyzul would get bumped from E- content to B+ if tokens were awarded on portup instead of on exit, or give you the ability to exit the area without completing the floor. Limiting order lamps to 3 (or atleast capping it to party size) would raise it to A-, getting rid of order lamps entirely would raise it to A+. But most of my ire is knowing you have to abandon 15% of the allotted event time, as the reward gets greater, because bad luck can cause you to lose it all.

For Rank 3, if you have (or plan to have) a crafting shield, getting a torque for subcrafts be a worthwhile endeavor to get better HQ rates on the new limbus armor? (or would advanced synthesis support from the subcraft suffice? or do you need both?)

Myriad Mystery Boxes: Treasure Caskets will appear more frequently around the three nations!

My Mahogany Pole synths support the "Tier 0 cannot HQ2/3" rule. I make Mahogany Poles and NPC them (come to my "making mog gardens work 4 u" TED talk). The recipe is level 68 and my highest woodworking level is 70. I have made 56 Mahogany Pole +1s and they were all Tier 1 HQs.

Kind of wild that no shield crafter noticed this before now.
