Avoiding HQ's.

[Sixtail]

I don't know what it is about Bison steak, but it has a stupidly high HQ rate it seems (I'm like 96+ cooking) and I'm curious if there's a way to avoid HQ's..because on my server, the HQ takes days to sell, where the NQ moves within 20 mins and I don't feel like crafting 7 steaks and end up with 5 HQ's that won't move for 3 days and likely get sent back.

Other crafts got items with a stupidly high HQ rate that in turn means you end up with items that won't move?

Im sure bonecrafters everywhere just love merman pins and gorgets.

Too bad you're not on bahamut, I'd buy everyone of them off you.

crow/raven berets ....

I spend 1 week selling off NQ, and 2 months selling off the HQ AND i seem to HQ this better than other things (but that might be because i don't want to HQ so much)

In my experience the only way to avoid HQs is to want to HQ the item. >_>

I have that problem with shitty bison jerky for Carbonara. I gave up even trying to synth it because the HQ jerky is utterly worthless.

If you want to "avoid HQ" why not just sell the HQ at the same price as NQ? Then its like you never HQd at all!

Yeah, an 8k merman's hairpin is gonna sell for the same price as a 60k coral hairpin......It's just a fact of this game that in specific markets, HQ is worth less than the NQ especially when dealing with crafted items used in the crafting of other items.

Selling it for the price of the NQ doesn't help when you can't use it in your carbonara or coeurel sub recipes...Sometimes you actually see that stuff for cheaper than the NQ result because of one pissed off chef.

When I did carbonara I had a lv40~ cook mule to make the jerky.

Of course I still t0 hq'd a number of synths.

[Bardicrune]

The best solution to this problem would be for SE to allow us to use HQ'd items as replacements for the NQ of the same item. Until this happens, the only way to (nearly) guarantee a NQ synth is to do as Aurik suggested and have another character @ a lower level craft them.

Or Ls mate that happen to be around 40
But still the HQ rate on buffalo meat is crazy

I had a friend who was able to skill up on them make mass amounts for me constantly, and he still did hq some..it was the most irritating thing ever, but when I was trying to make the Carbonara and I wanted HQs, that made me lol even more

See: Peace Cape +1... broke my heart after we beat Cassie and got drop.

then lets put SE feedback thread to good use...

Facing southeast on iceday helps me avoid hq. 12/12 nq last night

[Everlasting]

Just another mean, twisted way SE forces us to work together like Rose Garden or non-instanced Dynamis.
