For the stacks of Steady Hands, i use a 'workaround'. We just need the Steady Hands buff to be available during either Touches or Synthesis. Based on [url=http://mmominion.com/Thread-Buff-Quick-Reference]this[/link] link, Steady Hands has the ID of 253. I set "if buff exists = 253" on the ones that requires it. ;)

However, this may or not be more helpful in the long run.

Here's my counter-example for your above workaround/scenario:

1) 2nd Last Step of Crafting
2) <Steady Hand> = 1 stack remaining
3) Cast <Touch>
4) <Steady Hand> = 0 stack remaining
5) Final Step of Crafting
6) Not enough CP to cast <Steady Hand>
7) Cast <Synthesis> "if buff exists = 253"
8) Crafting Bot gets stuck at Step 7

That's why my more helpful workaround was to either to leave a leeway durability of 10 to 20 at the 2nd last step.

If you have Rumination or Careful Synthesis, it would solve your problem.

Scenario 1:

Code:

1) 2nd Last Step of Crafting
2) <Steady Hand> = 1 stack remaining
3) Cast <Touch>
4) <Steady Hand> = 0 stack remaining
5) Final Step of Crafting
6) Not enough CP to cast <Steady Hand>
6.5) Cast <Rumination> (you should have enough CP if you have 3 stacks of <Inner Quiet>.
7) Cast <Synthesis> "if buff exists = 253"
8) Crafting Bot gets stuck at Step 7

or
Scenario 2:

Code:

1) 2nd Last Step of Crafting
2) <Steady Hand> = 1 stack remaining
3) Cast <Touch>
4) <Steady Hand> = 0 stack remaining
5) Final Step of Crafting
6) Not enough CP to cast <Steady Hand>
7) Cast <Synthesis> "if buff exists = 253"
7.5) Cast <Careful Synthesis> (doesn't cost CP, but slightly reduced in efficiency).
8) Crafting Bot gets stuck at Step 7

Scenario 1 is good only if you can get <Inner Quite> buff to 3. 1 IQ buff will return you with 8 CP (but i can't say for sure. if it returns 6 CP, then you need 4 IQ).
Scenario 2 is good only if the lowered efficiency could completely 100% the progress. It would certainly be better if you have <Careful Synthesis II>, doesn't cost CP, 100% success rate, and even better efficiency than <Basic Synth[/code]esis>.
