Low affinity is great for forging. with that, you can guarantee a low forging result, so you can often end up with a high value crystal (bellow 100 value). Do that so you end with two of those and them use them together to make a gem. Chances of getting the maximun value for the gem get really high. It's how I got my top level VI gems.

As for the gifts, one could simply check a guide and only focus on the itens that a character likes.

Wow, I never thought of that. You know why? Because you can toss several crystals of the same kind into the mix, so I took two to six that would combine to a value in the range between 90-99 and then added a 70+ one as the final ingredient. From there it was easy to exceed a value of 200 during forging, thanks to high affinity levels. Plus I didn't have to go through preparation rounds of forging beforehand and that saved time.

Methods that can be performed without an extensive guide at hand are superior to methods that require guides. It's always good to keep it simple and efficient.

You don't understand. you can only use so many crystals untill their total value is above 100, right? using characters with low affinity, you can use low value crystals and make sure you don't get a gem, only a crystal with high value. if you use two 90 value crystals (or a bunch of crystals with combined 90 + a 90 value crystal), the total is 180 from the go, making it super easy to achieve 200 after the forging. And if you get 300, you end up with a top gem of a higher level than the crystals. example: Using two level V crystals valued 90 each, if the result is 200+ after the forging, I get a level VI gem but if the result is 300+, I get a maximized level VI gem instead.
