Super successes in crafting are essential for high-quality builds. Getting super successful while crafting adds significantly to the quality of the end product. The following article will show you exactly how to do that.

Tips and tricks to getting super success in Atelier Sophie 2 Synthesis

Atelier Sophie 2 consists of more than 100 recipes to choose from. You can either select Sophie or Plachta in the cauldron to progress further into the story or simply unlock more recipes. However, each of these characters has an attribute called "Alchemy Level," which can be increased through Synthesis.

Super success in Synthesis can be achieved with the number of filled component slots in the Synthesis Panel. However, achieving this isn't as simple as it sounds. Elemental components come in all shapes and sizes, and there's always a chance for an entire crafting process to get messed up with just one resource.

So instead of trying to fill maximum slots in the cauldron, you can instead go for an entire row or a column. Atelier Sophie 2 has a total of 25 slots for Synthesis, where filling up an entire row with the same or different elements can increase the quality of the product by a mile.

Increasing friendship ranks goes a long way in increasing the item quality as well. Aside from Sophie and Plachta, other characters such as Ramizel, Diebold, Allett, and Olias will also help in increasing the quality of the product with their assist skills.

The best way to trigger an assist skill, however, is to form elemental links of a character's associated element. If you fail to achieve super success while creating an item, assisted skills can make up for the lost qualities significantly.
