Small crafting feature request

[sovirasParticipant]

For recipes, especially collectables and expert, the goal is not max quality, but above a certain value. However, Miqo aims to fill it completely. Doing this sometimes requires choices that can fail, even if there is a guaranteed path to succeeding for the goal. So I would like to request the ability to override the quality goal, where it acts as if the max is the value you give Miqo.

Example for this, when crafting for resplendent material, and idealy you would reach 75000 quality for max reward. However, as this is hard, may be better and more consistent to aim for 63000 instead. Having option to choose is nice, because in this case, if you want to pay more to have guaranteed results, you can.

Other example is expert recipe. For grade 4 of ishgard, you may try for title achievement of 100 experts. For this, 58000+ quality is needed, but Miqo fails this sometimes while aiming for 81447 instead. If have option, to set goal lower, it would increase success rate, because 58000 is much easier goal than 81447. Even highest reward, only need 74000. Going to actual max just makes it more likely to fail, no?

Would this be small change? And is possible for implement after fixing Miqo for Endwalker?

IIRC, Miqobot doesn’t actually aim for maximum quality. She aims for “more quality until quality is full”, which is distinct in that she doesn’t care if you’re one point or one thousand points from maximum.

Indeed, Miqobot does not take Max Quality into consideration when solving.
In fact, she performs as if the Quality bar would be infinite. We made this decision in order to reduce the algorithm complexity (this way the Solver gets about 1000 times faster). Therefore changing the Quality goal will have no effect on the algorithm.
