Cold hard proof:
I've kept track of all cost and # of synths, day of synth, moon phase, etc. I don't go out of my way for a specific moon phase or day, just keep track of what happens on which day... (yes, there's absolutely no "better" day or moon phase according to my data... they all suck in equil amounts)
Since ToA was inserted into FFXI i've been getting 3.98% HQ rate on T1 synthing (minus useless HQ on rainbow thread/cloth). I've synthed 616 errant slops, rainbow capes, arhat's hakamas, and other random T-11 synths since ToA, and gotten 24 HQ.
please tell me how to fix this lol!
OR tell me if you're seeing the same results. I was doing MUCH better prior to patch, and this current trend is infuriating.
