So basically then, you should try to get leves your level or lower? I mean since they come in 5 level increments and all.

Interesting tidbits, albeit on a low-lvl craft:





Edit: Also, Rapid is either success(no durability loss) or failure (durability loss, no % gain)

The best way is usually always to pick up leves that are higher than you if they available, even if it only at one level. Leve groups that are 5 levels above you unlock as you hit the exact level. For example, If you hit rank 30 rank 35 leves have the potential to become available. If you go lower only go as low as exactly your level to 5 levels below you if possible. 5 levels below are usually around 150-250 per synth. If you go lower than that you will likely not get any exp for the synth portion on the leve or so low that it is a waste. You still can get the completion exp though, if that is worth it to you.

Yeah, I figured out the Standard and 25% max and Rapid at 35% max, but that Careful synth blows my mind! Was that achieved with no abilities/unstable elements/aetherial sparking?

I think Masterpiece may have been active, but no food or instability

I've had up to 75% twice without any buffs/abilities/etc. I'll keep poking at it and see if I can get higher without. Would be pretty sweet if you could.

yeah it's level based. Balon was doing a lvl4 synth on his CUL (40+), and failed a Careful synth for 30% progress gain

This is interesting. I haven't got any significant progress gain off of a careful synth yet, though I have been testing on things 10 levels above me. I have found that the amount of quality you get from a Careful is pretty wild, from about 30%-75% per success. I'll have to do some more testing on low level stuff too.

Keep the info coming! This stuff really helps.

Yeah my carefuls at level or above are 3-5%

In case anyone else is following this conversation on Careful Synthesis, Silvano is talking about progress while I am talking about Quality. Sorry for the confusion!

Oh yeah, before I forget if you haven't figured it out by now Quality give a pretty damn nice exp boost. Doing synths 5-6 levels above you and pumping quality might just be the faster way to level now.

Added a few things and removed some outdated info.

As a side note, the exp gain from getting Quality is so ridiculously high that I would not be surprised if they nerf it sometime in the near future. I've been getting 2-3k per synth on relatively low levels of quality (300-400) on recipes that are 7-10 levels above me.

Anyone on the fence about crafting would do well to ride this train now before it stops. Leveling a craft has never been this easy.
