Well I wouldnt use a rotation for a 3 star weapon imo, just know how much progress and what you have to use for it. Then you can basically hasty/manip/MMII/WN and pray.

**Spider-Dan** · 2014-09-03 18:57

I don't know that I'd use a script for any synth that "matters."

I always just grind those out by hand.

Just some cleanup on some old items in the thread:

You're looking at somewhere around 2.5 - 3.3 million in opportunity costs. That buys a /lot/ of Mint Lassi, or costs multiple 3-star or Primal weapon sales.

Is there some significance to Mint Lassi I am unaware of?

I have popped out a Vanya Silk or two from Forager's Hats.

Never got a FC3 though, I just assumed that the MC took the place of it. Interesting to hear that you can get either one, though I guess that's no surprise since you can get BC3s out of primal weapons.

They finally put real white and black dye up in this bitch.

i must haz it

Rimless glasses give FC3. Expect garlean mobs to be camped 24/7.

**Neon_Sea** · 2014-09-17 14:55

Uhhhh whuu?? I just camped those mobs and sold the mats for a ton I didnt know you can synth them to FC3. Why does that even work????

**Hiryo** · 2014-09-17 15:06

Well shit

Any non-DoW/M 2-star synth and up can desynth to FC3, not sure why anyone would be surprised. FC3s are plenty easy to obtain anyway, so I'm not surprised that they'd make it even easier now. I'll be sad to see my moneymaker die though.

I knew I should've leveled GSM desynth sooner...

If you're normally crafting without food buffs, you can simulate the move from an Artisan's to a Supra with 10 craftsmanship and/or 5 control, neither of which is very expensive to get. Mint Lassi is a bit of an exaggeration, but fairly inexpensive foods can cover that gap. Really dedicated three-star crafts don't have that option since they're swimming in Bouillibase anyway, but for most folk can do that.

This is less important now that Fieldcraft III and Mastercraft Demimateria prices are no longer stupidly costly.

**Shaano** · 2014-09-18 22:11

The stupidly cost was my income

**Shaano** · 2014-09-21 21:20

Last crafting luminary. Lots of glasses to be made after I'm done with these.

Speaking of glasses, I need to work on my supra tools. Got 2,000+ HQ dzmael tomatoes, and havn't even really crafted any yet ;/

wtb 1 button macro 100%HQ >.>

**Pruviant** · 2014-09-22 14:46

I use 2 macros for relish, every once in a while it nq's one because of an odd excellent proc 2 steps before BB, but I would say that happens maybe 1% of the time.

Now if only there was a way to automate it .....

Here you go.

Haven't even bothered to get the artisan tool for my culinarian since this works without it.

What are the ilvl breakpoints to produce tier I/II demimateria?

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-10-19 18:23

Recipe level (not item's ilvl, the level in the recipe book) 20 = Tier 1
Recipe level 50 (and all 1*s) = Tier 2

**Tardevil** · 2014-10-19 23:09

Trying to skip the i70 weapon and shoot to the i75 weapon and just have a couple of questions. From what I have read, you can hit the requirement of craftmanship/control with FC buffs/food and craft 5 NQs 3 stars with just Ingenuity 2, Piece by Piece, and Manipulation. Is this correct? And if so, what's a good rotation for this? Synth is like 300k+ per try so don't want to mess this up and I haven't really used Piece by Piece yet.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-10-19 23:10

You don't have to fill quality. 5+ PbPs then you're close enough after something that fills durability to just use Ingen2 Careful2's. If you've ever made 3* furniture it's basically like that.
