    Lil Alchemy help please

    100+6 Alchemy and have had the worst luck HQing. 1/90+ on Hawkers, 0/40+ on cursed gauntlets but yet I HQed Panacae 3 times while I was skilling up =/. I have tried Hawkers on new moon and full moon in combinations of ice day and dark day with absolutely no success in HQ. The funny thing is that not only have I been unsuccessful in HQed I haven't blown any up either. I know some people swear by the element and strength that is in their MH. I have tried with different elements but most synths were done with nothing but my GP item in my MH.
    I know people have figured alchemy out because all you have to do is look at the AH and you see the same person over and over again selling +1 Hawkers and -1 cursed gear. It just seems like everything I try gets me no where. I am now almost to the point of blind determination while losing my ass doing it. It's about a 200k loss for every knife and cursed gear attempt.
    Thanks for taking the time reading this and any help would be appreciated.

    How much profit are you getting from each hawkers/cursed hq?

    I would suggest that if you are sure you want to carry on doing this for profit would be to carry on that you're doing... One thing I would like to suggest is to not to synth one, then wait a while then synth another... Since if you put any synths in between them, you'll influence the random factor for HQing, and therefore spoils your chances of HQ. try to get at least 24 synths worth of materials, and synth them one after another. Your theoretical HQ rate "should" be 1 in 10.

    On Shiva i'm 93+2 Alchemy I've really only tried one time to make a Hawker+1. Right now i'm 1/7 on them. I would craft on new moon Earthday.

    I dont even wanna think about the loss that is going to come from -1 gear once i hit 100+6.

    better than trying for 1 or 2 at a time, thats for sure.

    Val sounds like you are having the same back luck I was having a while back ago. I too was having difficulty HQ'ing stuff. I used to believe the myths about full & new moon and directions. Until i decided to try it for myself. I went 0/24 on Cursed Cuisses -1 on Full Moon 100% Lightsday and 0/16 on Cursed Finger Gauntlets -1 on New Moon 0% Lightsday. After this experience I was furious w/ the results so decided to try a new approach. This was to craft whenever I had the synthesis materials ready to go @ any random direction. This prove to be rather good strategy because I went 2/12 on cfg -1 and 1/12 on cuisses -1 in the same day. All three where done on iceday 30ish% moon if I remember correctly. Check my sig for prove. Well, I believe i have writing enough so I'll leave you w/ a GL and dont give up.
