Is it possible to get 1200 perception without a bunch of advanced melding? Seems kinda out of reach atm. :(

Probably not even with food.
That being said if your aim is HQ for crafting current 1* star sets can be made even on NQ mats.
You can get to it with a lot of overmelding. You can also get it with a bit less melding and some cheap NQ food sold in Azim Steppe.
nomad meat pies in azim steppe can be bought which gives gathering and perception
that is good to know I definitely missed that vendor the first time through! Having said that, I use the +GP food because +15% field mastery/sharp vision (II) is a million times better than a little bit of extra gathering/perception when it comes to collectibles, at least.
i went with those melds for my gatherer

if you dont care about a specific amount of gp or gathering you might easily get it with only a very few overmelds
I managed 1168 Gathering, 1204 Perception, 722 GP with some midrange overmelds(3 tier IV overmelds nothing more expensive.) This is running HQ Jhammel Moussaka for 23/58 gather/perc.
The 22 GP over 700 is more useful than it sounds, as it allows an extra 2 of the rng HQ rolls every node. If you didn't go for this you'd save quite a bit on melds.
Can you get 800 gp currently with food? I started melding and per my calcs you can get to 791 with food. Sooo closeee
