I am about 0/70 on HQing a Marid Mantle (a Lv 79 LC craft) at 96 LC.

This is a T1 craft, so at worse I should be seeing a ~5-6% HQ rate right? And a more average 8-11% HQ Rate. Anyone else having issues HQing T1 crafts?

Can someone sanity check me here?

Likely just bad luck. I had similar happen recently after hitting 99 Bone, went probably 200+ synth attempts at Gavial Mask AND desynthed all those without even a single .1 skillup. Thought I was going crazy or was somehow bugged, took a long break from lvling up again, and next batch I tried about 3 stacks worth of mats and got a couple .1s.

Would advise just taking a break, and next time you come back maybe try the synths on Firesday for less success rate but increased HQ chance with Ice Crystals.

I felt the same way. I just did 72 synths of a tier1 (leather) and ended up with 1 HQ.

It happens. And I think some synths just hate you. I've gone 0/50 numerous times trying to make mahatma slops. The new theory people seem to be floating out there is that with how streaky luck can be, just start spamming very cheap worthless t1s until it feels like youve slipped into a lucky phase and then try the synths you really want to do.

I thought I was insane when I floated this idea to myself, glad to know there's more people out there that have had this thought process.

I’m starting to think it’s broken too. I’m 1/100+ on all my t1s combined...
