While I sincerely doubt you spent 4 hours trying to do anything with
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] on this site (neither programs are difficult to use, especially mine which only has 4 commands), I will assist you in your endeavor.
For leveling up, I would recommend setting these 5 abilities in this order:
Unerring Hand - Advances progress. Only if this gives enough progress
Maker's Muse - ensures standard success for 3 steps
Tender Touch - loss of durability for 3 steps
Ingenuity - renders difficulty = for 3 steps
Brand of 'Fire, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Water' (which ever your current synth is using)
Create a new style in the editor window.
I am assuming for this example that your craft uses Fire and Wind crystals, and you set Brand of Fire in your 5th slot. Modify accordingly for your craft.
Then enter/paste these commands in order (correct any errors if it doesnt pass the check)):
Fire 5
Wind 5
#1 UnerringHand
#2 Maker'sMuse
Standard
Standard
Standard
#3 TenderTouch
Careful
Careful

#4 Ingenuity

Progress < 100 Standard
=================================
Replace Careful's with Standard's if you cannot complete the synth (I cant see you failing with the above unless you are naked with a low ranked tool)
Do your homework in the future, knowing how to use tools at your disposal will always be advantageous to asking for help and exaggerating your efforts applied.
