Basically... start with HQ mats or go home...
Thats what it boils down to. Also you essentially now need the new crafting food from Cul since it has Craftsmanship and CP to help meet the stat requirements for 3 star items. Even then you'll need ~368 CP to do a reasonable rotation for a "decent" HQ chance...
Yes, atm I can start with all HQ mats, but since it now takes at least 4 turns to finish progress without any increase in the item durability, we now end up having 1 less IQ stack for BB... so... yeah... somethings kinda odd here.

The day after tomorrow scenario lol....
Hurry up and gear those weavers !
I'll pay like 500k for a spring dress cuz idk where in eorzea u find dress material for the recipe!

I'm glad I capped every item before this, if I can find terminus putty I'd have made a few 3star already, I have 3 master books, I'd have moor but I'm not on ATM

After messing with the crafting for about 7 hours, I am pretty much done. I have the max materia and already got the new main weapon on a few crafters. All this new stuff is going to do is upset the hardcore crafters. I am not talking the avg player because thee never going to be able to craft any of the new stuff. the GSM is a joke 4 new recipes? 1 of them is a craft for quest item the other 3 your going to hq them 59% of the time that is with food and fc buffs. I understand make it hard but dont make it so hard that people rage quit the game. You can pretty much take the new crafting and shove it where the sun dont shine.
Also thanks for the loss of all the LUM tool's I took over 6 to get countless hour's so gathering just for another shaft. You fixed them in the 2.2 patch but once u get the new 2.2 one, you just been handed the sahft without the ky once again. Thank SE for such a botched job.

I have always believed that SE didn't want HQ items to be as common as they were before 2.2. In 2.1 they nerfed the HQ bonus and now they make it practically impossible to reliably HQ. I guess this is their way of saying welcome to the new world of crafting! I was really hopeful for new gear because blowing over a million to overmeld my Weaver was not fun and I won't be overmelding other classes to that extent again so I am doubtful that I will even pursue obtaining the master crafting books for the other 6 classes that I have leveled.

Is anything in the new Master Books even worth all the effort, time and money to craft? I haven't been able to look yet. What do we get? ilvl 90 gear, some new furniture, new food and potions? If that's it they really need to rethink their policy for crafting in this game. Its just not motivating at all to spend the kind of time and money people are reporting in this thread. And I just don't have an interest in crafting solely vanity gear for people and some consumables.

That's basically it so far yea, I pride myself as a crafter so I'll be getting everything, and being capped in every item I'm 1 of the few who will benefit from these hard ass crafts. I like it, less that can he the better, even capped I can JUST make a 3star without new tool, using CRT FC buff and new i70 head peice. I wanted harder crafts, I 2sta hq from std mats without hasty touch, yet people with barely melded gear do the same but with he mats. Pissed me right off before, now I see crafting as a difficult task and something to master, and not be 1 of 500 who can do the same, only 1 other person on my world is at my level of gear and hasn't got the money for mats to get the books

Any advise on HQing the 50 items needed, what are people using for abilities?

Ingenuity II. That is all.
