Poor Mila losing 700k per synth for something she is going to make at minimum a 25mil profit at the end with her @#%^ed up prices. Wow just greedy as hell. Thats not enough gil for you considering it doesnt take toooo much work to craft....
It doesn't reach the 10% tier of crafting, so it's what, 2% or 3% HQ rate? If you assume 3%, it would be average 33 synths to HQ. At a 700k loss per synth, you'll lose ~23.1M. Throw in 3 or 4 crit failures, and you up around 35M down. So if it's 60M or 80M, and you're getting slightly over 50% or about 66% profit from your investment, it's not nearly as bad as you make it sound, and the odds of HQ are very low. I can name other items with higher profit margins.
And for someone with a name like "StoleLoO", I wouldn't expect a lecture about morals.
