More than once I've run into periods of time where I fail almost 1/3 of Hasty Hands dealing with synths 30 lvls or more below my current lvl - and this is with the required training and guild support.
You wouldn't expect a Rank 40 DoW/DoM to be defeated by a rank 10 mob - should almost always be a 1-shot kill. I think Hasty Hands should work the same way - when dealing with synths that are this far below your current rank, the chance of failure should be very close to zero. I think the success rate of Hasty Hands needs to be scaled better in regards to the difference between your current rank and the item that you are crafting.

Hasty Hands rate of failure is too highFollow
It's an interesting skill, certainly. But i do feel you shouldn't be putting all your focus on just spamming that.
Like you said, you only really use it on level ~10 things where you dont mind if it breaks anyhow. You may as well remove it from your skilllist and put up something else for it instead. It's more effective to just use Rapid Synthesis a couple of times for the same results without the breakage.
Yes, it'll be slower. But these whole "instant success or critical fail" skills have always had a long history in Final Fantasy's as being very unreliable.
Should they fix it so it doesnt break as much? Sure. But "not as much" is still not even close to what Rapid Synthesis would give you on that synth. Just prowl around for some good skills to use instead.

I would be interested in seeing if someone with a craft closer to 50 failing Hasty Hands on a synth near rank 10 would feel the same way lol ... I'm not talking about being rank 30 and failing a rank 10 synth using HH - I'm talking about being almost rank *50 and failing a rank 10 synth using HH.
