Best materia setup for crafters?

[BobbinT]

1 thing I learn the hard way: Avoid pentamelding higher grade than tier I on last slot. It is pain in the ass. I easily burn millions just melding that last 5th slot with tier 2 materia. ^^;

2nd, spiritbond alot of lvl 45+ gears. You'll save more cost that way. There's patrician sets for body side and the same acc set you guys use for your max meld setup.

Hey
I really appreciated your help and copied almost all the melts. except I always used control 3 whenever you said control 2, but only because on my server the control 3 materia is half the price of control 2 and I have no idea why but whatever... same effect.

One question to the Belt. I'm using the Dodore Belt now, what would u recommend to put in there?
and what do you recommend about the awl... waiting until one gets the artisan awl and no materia in any that is lower?
thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience <3

Don't bother max melding Alchemist Artisan offhand just yet. None of the 4 stars are high quality craftable and the fact that the recipes in the master II book will only be used less than a handful of times in this patch, no reason to go the extra mile on something that won't see much use.

i was wondering are you going to update the post now that they came out with better gear like lvl 55 acessories and artisan gear
