OoKay.
So you want me to tell you what i do to get HQ on Ele.Staves..
-2years ago I only crafted my staves on New Moon, Iceday, facing East.
-1year ago I gave up facing a specific direction.
-6months ago I stopped caring what moon phase it was.
-2months ago I gave up on even caring what day it was.
Here's the deal. My HQ rate is now @ or maybe 1~2% better then what i was getting 6months-2years ago. My point being, for me, there is no wrong way to eat a tootsie pop. Take this as you may, BUT i strongly feel crafting is just a big old "RNG" pumpin out numbers, and i have found no way to minipulate, augment, or increase my outcomes so i craft at will and most importantly I NEVER craft a batch smaller then 10.
I hope you are able to find your nitch. GL to you.
EDIT: Just wanted to also note i also have 100Smith and 100Leather between all my crafting mules, with a100Gold and 100Bone in the route. I use the same technique for HQ on those crafts as well.
