Did anyone tried to craft during certain weather effects? Some time ago i tried to craft Haubergeon's(T#1 Earth Crystal) during Windsday Newmoon in the cloister of Gales, and got 0/15 which was really sad, and i wondered if it was just bad luck or weather really has nothing to do with crafting? I think it would be useless to make Belt with Synth Image Support just for lazyheads who don't want to go to guild and pay 330 gil for adv support in guild lol, it must mean something.
Sometimes i Even wonder if Current Time do affect Crafting's Results over vana day/moon. I noticed i get more HQ during 9:00 + of the day, maybe just luck, like i said before lol. I'm really confused every new crafting session i make to be honest.

i crafted in whitegate a few times with earth crystals during wind weather, but i just chaulked it up to lag. i warped to sandy and had a slightly better non breakage rate but the hq rate stayed the same. i think weather may just be random but just for kicks i'll go craft a few stacks in garuda's area and wait for the same time/moon/day to happen again and craft in ramuh's area.

By what im hearing directions/weather, crystal and time and moon phases all effect crafting. I think SE needs to acaully give us a good or a fairly decent method on how to HQ or at least throw us a bone. So we dont keep using materials for failures. They should make a side bar showing the percentage on what the chances are for HQ's but that just my opinion

I tried Desynthing in Dynamis, that went really well, I think the double dark element really helps or that could have just been a weird occurance, only tried 3 synths with gold orc masks but all 3 passed which is really rare. Might go into testing it more when I return to dynamis.

I remember a friend trying to craft an Hakutaku eye cluster in dynamis full breaking it in front of 60+ ppl lol. To be honest I'm not sure myself about all this new moon/day against the crystal/weather against the crystal thingy. I always tried on either no-newmoon AND newmoon, getting ALMOST same results, but then a friend comes and tell me she always craft in fullmoon(which should be really bad for HQ) for about same rate as me since when she started to craft(and she started waaaaay long time before me) lol.

eh why ever anything should be craft-related then? To be honest I'm not sure myself of anything.. in particular moon, but even day/direction and weather.. these are just thing you might wanna try out.

Well, IMO, even if Moon/Day/Weather/Time/Direction effects Crafts or not... You aren't losing anything by following them.
Another thing, if we assume that Weather effects Crafts. Then SCH will be like OMG CAN I HAVE IT?!

TBH im not sold on weather effects on crafts. even moon phase/percent/day have me a bit confused. im at the point where i just put it all on luck... =/

but i can say that moon/day do effect skill ups, that im pretty confident in. as per HQ success rate who knows
