As the title says, this is what I got on paper for how I complete 5.21 expert Ishgard restoration turn ins. This is just what I do and have helped people struggling to even hit the turn in minimum. I hit cap almost every time, at the sacrifice of a higher step count. I don't care for negative critiques, but please feel free to comment with anything helpful, if I've missed anything, have any questions, or if this helped you. It's guaranteed to work if you follow the guide closely. Don't deviate on anything until you've got it down for sure.
I use specialist (easily worth it to switch to build rank points for the week). Prior to food have 2492crafts/2502control/553 CP and use HQ Popotoes Au Gratin and HQ cunning craftsman syrup (not necessary).
All eyes are on Status condition
MuMe opener (if at any point you get Pliant, stop to use Manip) > Veneration > (If Normal, use Inner quiet) If Sturdy or Centered Use Rapid Synth > You only need 1 successful buffed Rapid Synth then move on to normal rotation for Quality (let the veneration buff die - THEN once you get a 'Centered' Proc, use an unbuffed Rapid Synth to get near cap - its important to go out of order for this to benefit from a Centered proc)
Now the rest of rotation for quality.. Inner quiet if you haven't already
Follow forever:
If It's Good > Use Tricks of the Trade
If its Centered > use Hasty Touch
If its Sturdy > use Hasty Touch
If its Normal > Use Observe
If its Pliant > Use Manip
If you have Pliant while Manip is up > Use Waste Not 2 (unless Manip has 1-2 turns left, it can usually be a gain to repop it)
If you have Pliant while Manip and WN2 is up and you don't want to refresh them, Prepatory Touch becomes worth it
In the occasional event you have Manip and WN2 active, do not Observe Fish. WN2 makes Normal status OK to use hasty touch still, but again avoid WN2 per the rotation unless it comes up. It is only worth it to use WN2 if you got it cheap and with Manip already up.
If youre down to 15 Dura and still no Pliant for Manip, then use full price Manip
Obviously don't kill the craft when you pop Manip at low durability and get a proc, you may have to Observe to get out of dead spot for more condition buffed hasty touches.
Tricks of Trade gets priority casting even with Manip/WN 2 up as you've only paid 44/45 CP for them with Pliant and you dont use WN2 at all if no Pliant. So 20CP is 50% of their 8 turn cost.
Get to 45k quality with that, then need 74CP and at least 15 dura for finisher of Inno > GS > Byregots
There's fancier finishers for sure but this is my fivehead way and I'm stickin to it.
Hope this helps. Good luck, have fun!
Edited to add what to expect as I've had some incorrect feedback that I'm 'just lucky' with Observe fishing. It's of course RNG, but with this intensive of Observe fishing it really allows good cycle of the RNG mechanics to capitalize. 7 cp is nothing compared to saving 45 on Manip/maybe WN2 with double pliant. It is also not just about the 7 CP but the sturdy/centered also increasing the value of the cycled step. If you can finish a capped expert craft at 100% success rate without observe fishing then gg you are better than me!
What to expect on a capped synth, pulled from a random capped I just completed:
Observe - 19 casts
Hasty touch successes- 24
Hasty touch fails- 15
