Re: ~Crafting Corner~ - Zyrusticae - 10-09-2010
So, I've been noticing a pattern in my crafts as of late.
Squeenix's faq states thusly:
Quote:In addition, the successful execution of consecutive actions also serves to increase quality. Ultimately, the higher the quality of the synthesis process, the more likely it is to yield a high-quality result.
This is hugely important. I have found that the same holds true of failure rates. That is to say, if you succeed several times in a row your chances are VERY HIGH that your next actions will succeed. Likewise, if you fail several times in a row you are extremely likely to fail your next actions.
Thus, my new strategy is: At the beginning of every craft, I will make only standard synthesis attempts, and only on white orbs. After I have succeeded at least three times in a row, only then will I start using bold synths - however, in the case of high-rank and difficult crafts, it is inadvisable to ever switch out of standard synthesis. It is also unlikely that you will be able to succeed several times in a row. In those instances you can only keep attempting on whites and pray for success.
For crafts that are actually around your level, however, using this method can ensure an extremely high-quality end product.

This sounds like a pretty safe method yes.
Personally, I'm more of a risk-taker and I don't like the idea of Waiting until its white since the more you wait the more durability you lose.
