Day/Moon Success vs HQ consensus check.

So what your saying is that, you have the best chance with any crystal for HQ on, New moon, Darksday? That kinda sounds too easy:p

Weak day: Success down, no noticable difference in HQ. Skill rate up (? not sure)

does "Strong day" mean "day that your crystal's element is strong against" or "day that is strong against your crystal's element"?

with wind crystals, i notice earth is a bad day to synth on; thunder is an equal to or worse day to synth on than earth; ice is a good day to synth on; fire is similar ice, possibly better, i haven't done many synths on iceday.

by Strong Day, i mean the day the crystal is strong to.

For a very good chance of HQ, i noticed it is indeed Darksday, New moon.

Also, Strong day + new moon is also good for HQ.

I've been crafting a lot and i've also begun to think that time of the day also affects crafting, but i'm not going to speculate on that too much.

Example:

Wind Crystal in general....

Good days to synth on: Earth, Ice, Wind, Light, Dark.
No affect (supposely) Fire, Water, Lightening.

As for lightening day being bad for synthing, I never saw bad synths and it never affected my HQ rates for wind. Earth on the other hand, yields a lot of HQs. (more so than if i craft it on... say firesday)

While crafting Insect Paste for fishing, I noticed that I get a lot more HQ animations, even though there is no HQ version of Insect Paste :'(, on Watersday, the day right after Earthsday. (insect paste uses earth crystal). I got 5 HQs in a stack of 12 and 4 of those were in a row. Then 2 days later, I needed more insect paste again and intentionally crafted on Watersday once more. I received 4 HQs out of a stack of ingredients there. This is abnormal for me to get more than 1-2 HQs per stack of IP no matter what the day normally, so I'm going with the theory that you get more HQs on the day after the element of the crystal. I have heard both this and craft on the day before, but the day before doesn't seem to work for me for any craft.

*NOTE* The above 2 were within 15% of the 100% phase of the full moon. I just synth another stack at 43% moon and got no HQs at all >.<
