So few months ago on a SE Forum they were asking questions about does the day of the week, position matter when it comes to crafting, They said no. I dont recall where the post is at someone just screen shot a picture to me of the part saying how none of the Position/day of the week matters when it comes to HQing in crafting. Anyone have a link to it so I can further read the post? That would be great.

Also would like to know your crafting stories on how you feel about knowing that the past 10 or so years where people were spewing saying, no you gotta face that way on weakness of element if you want to HQ more is basically a lie an people still did it, an still till this day see a bunch of people in crafting guilds on new moons trying to HQ.

It was in the Q&A with the developers, not sure where to find that now. But it was confirmed that direction does not matter at all. People still facing direction may not realize this, may be in old habits, or may be superstitious enough to keep doing it that way. I Still have one friend who insists on no ws during VW as he swears he gets better drops this way....

I remember this at the same time why would developers tell you how to make sure you get a HQ or not? What if they said that so people would stop HQing? I dano I've stuck to my method still getting high tier HQs let alone usually my HQs are with 115 plus synths not -1s. But to each their own etc.

Since I've leveled Goldsmithing I have logged every Cursed & Voodoo synth result I have done. I have crafted on multiple moon phases just to test if I got same result or better or worse. Majority of my synths I do are on New Moon however, but when I have extra materials or money to test outside that I do. As SE stated day/direction doesn't matter which is true, moon phase though still seems to be a factor. I usually do x96 or x144 Cursed (-1) attempts. New moon does seem to be the best time for HQ chance as most have suspected for a long time. Also full moon yields similar results. Waning phases usually yield 1~2 less on average compared to new moon, and waxing phase I have found to be the worst phase to attempt HQ chances. Out of 6 groups of x96 on a Waxing phase I average ~4 less than I would on new moon.
I always craft with max skill 122 and have Orvail Ring and Craftmaster's Ring and use Coconut Rusk. On a Tier 1 or 2 (however you view the brackets) 5%~7% HQ rate according to wiki data, my average percentage comes out to ~10.5% on New Moon, ~9.3% on Full Moon, ~8.3% on Waning and ~6.25% on Waxing.
This is just my findings of various moon phases I've crafted.

Interesting cause I HQ alchemy and bomecraft only during full moon 100 percent and low waxing highest being 36 percent. Only have gotten HQ on earth crystal from SE nothing else. Dark crystal only HQ on N and only craft lighting to earths day. To this day including woodworking new moon does ***for me. I've only HQed three different times on new moon. Many HQs outside of new moon. Either way people can point at what the devs say but I've had no issue so why change it? But again to each their own.

only thing i can say that i truely believe is day of the week. I think thats all but confirmed. darksday has always given my a higher chance of hq but a higher chance of failure. And lightsday the opposite. Higher chance of success but higher chance of nq.

Does SE need to spell it out for you in every possible way? You're wasting your time.

Crafting blows, the end ~

PS. It's all random. I sometimes follow moons, days and direction but I don't think it really matters. I've HQ'd a ton of cursed - 1 in goldsmithing using fire xtal during windsday 50% moon phase...

Facts :0 I totally missed that. Just like almost famous! I like how the title of this says, "Crafting Position/Day/Myths." Not "*** you guys SE said to get an HQ you need to *** a cat and jump off a bridge" discussion ;(.

I don't care about the day/position. However, there was no mention on moon phases so even though I have read a few things from players saying this doesn't matter, I will believe the sample sizes.

Crafted each piece of Argosy +1 outside of new moon phase. Had some help with hands and legs, but they were HQ'd during waxing. Berk +1 was only a few percent after new moon.

I HQ'd the first synth I attempted with Orvail ring, a Plastron +1.

I know people who swear by new moon and I don't discredit them. I simply don't mass produce enough to see a difference.

Craft 'em if you've got 'em.

I was drinking diet coke for every hq amalric item I've made. Also what really seems to help is leaning back in my chair a little bit while crafting, but not too much that's bad luck.
