On the bright side, recrafting is rather cheap and I read that items “remember” what quality resources you use while crafting and that effects future results.
Blame Blizzard for basically requiring crafting orders to gain points in the tree. It’s almost impossible to gain points, outside of 1st time crafts and the 2 weekly quests.
The system could have been cool, but the way it was implemented is broken.
For 2 and 3-star items, sure, but depending on the item, you can’t get mad at a 4-star. A lot of things are actually impossible to guarantee a 5-star craft with. Illustrious Insight gets around some of it, but when you start factoring in fully customized items and Primal Infusions, you need that Inspiration proc.
That’s likely the reason some people have added their proc rates to their advertising.
