New Cursed Gear Synths

Just recently returned to game-
I’ve tried to craft these new cursed gears, I’ve gotten roughly 20 hqs but they have ALL been hq1, no hq2s. I’m wondering if there’s some prerequisite to be able to craft hq2? Or do I need subcraft support or gear to reach tier threshold? Or am I just Really unlucky?

Any help be appreciated

You need to add some skill to reach t1 on your subcraft.

If you equip a Lucky Egg while synthing it should help your HQ rate. Make sure you have the right moon phase/compass direction and cross 4 sets of fingers as the synth completes.

Thanks for the help, I had thought this, but I swear I’ve hq2 on T0 synths before.. but I could be wrong it’s been awhile. So basically I need to farm torques for sub crafts now.
