does autocraft take your stats into consideration?Follow

In otherwords is whether or not you fail when auto crafting completely random or is it based on on your stats? for example If im full melded at 5 with artisans glasses and the green tool, and crafted something that lets say level 40, since there no chance that would EVER break if I was crafting it manually (just to fill the progress bar not HQ) is there a chance that would break at all in auto craft?

Im not sure. It used to but they patched it to include your craftin gear being included for getting a HQ.

Its only good to autosynth when having bulk NQ Doesnt matter. Like low level stuff i can synth with NQ mats np but high level stuff you want HQ. The HQ rate is **** poor even with the buff. Never use it if you plan on making HQ mats.

I calculated the time, and I found that it is not only faster, but 100% safe, if you can complete the craft in a single Careful Synthesis (or CS II), to just spam "Synthesize" and then "Careful Synthesis", "Synthesize", "Careful Synthesis" etc.

There's this long pause between synths with Auto-Synth, and you got the fail chance (something that is impossible if you do it with CS) which is annoying.

IMO, Auto-crafting is only good if you wanna make a sandwich and don't care about failures.

Yeah. I'm not sure why auto-craft can still fail even if there's no chance of it happening normally. Pretty annoying.

Quicksynths used to be capped at (probably) 95% success rate (no doubt taking a page from FFXI's books)

This was updated some time back and now assuming you are reasonably geared up, I don't think you can ever fail a quicksynth now.

Anything that takes any remote effort to synth (like anything that's starred, for instance) can't be quicksynthed anyway, so it's pretty much just relegated to the duck soup synths after a certain point.

Additionally, I think that quicksynths also cap at maybe around 5% HQ rate, so if you're actually looking to NOT get HQ results (such as if you're trying to make a set of things for Ixal dailies turn-in that all have to be either NQ or HQ, and you can't be assed to make them all HQ), it's "safer" to just use normal synths and get a 1% HQ rate instead.

This.

I never fail Quick Synths unless I decide to spiritbind 6+ slots.
