Need advice from Crafters

Trying to work my up for crafting for my CRP
My CRP level is 55.
The only thing that I can see blocking my way is making HQ Spuce Plywood.
How am I suppose to make this with level i55 gear or even some at i50 gear.
My left side for accessories is pretty much full melded with materia I need.
Plus I have a dordore belt fully melded.
So you'd think that might be close to enough since Rose gold stuff probably wasn't in the game since Spuce Plywood was out.
I could be wrong but idk.
Most of my other items have 1 to 2 meld in them. But I'm thinking that's enough.
Even with a meal upping my crafting or control it doesn't help me get anywhere near HQ. Even if I have HQ Horn Glue and Spruce Lumber.
So help me out what am I doing wrong?

It's a lot easier to do if you have more classes at 50.
To do things at maximum efficiency, you should have all but CUL at 50. CUL only needs to be 37.
There's a lot of abilities that make making those a lot easier. For example, Comfort Zone, Careful Synthesis 2, Manipulation, Waste Not I+II, and Tricks of the Trade are pretty much staples.

Like kyuven said, cross-class skills are the secret to high level crafting.

Yup. I just recently did the same thing. I used carpenter as my first class to gear up since it seemed to have the easiest turn in items. The hq spruce plywood was honestly the easiest part. Your going to have to almost fully meld your gear though. And like other said you will want to have your other classes to 50 for cross class skills. The treated spruce lumber is harder to make and much more expensive. With the right gear and cp food you can 100% hq the plywood.

I already had most classes leveled so it only took me a few days to go from having no clue about endgame crafting to having the full set of artisans turn in gear.

Use levequests. See if you can find a friend with a high level crafter to help you out with HQ turn ins for them.
