I'm wondering what method people are using to reach the 347 Craftsmanship which is required for some of the 2-star crafts.
Do you just have a set of gear that is all craftsmanship based loaded with all craftsmanship materia? Is it possible to reach 347 craftsmanship with just gear alone and no food used?
(Gah! Post limit!)
It's not as difficult as it looks! Getting the level 50 Quest Reward Tool(or the Luminary) and a Militia Offhand is definitely what you'll want in your tool slots. With a set of your craft-specific one-star gear, a full set of electrum crafting jewelry and, yeah, materia on each piece, you should be able to reach the mark with a high-Craftsmanship food such as Rolanberry Lassi which isn't tough to make. If you are able to grab some HQs in there, the food becomes less necessary.
If you're wondering if the effort to grab HQs are worth it, I'd say the Offhand Tool and Body are the definitely worth HQing, as the boost in Craftsmanship is about 10 on each piece. The other pieces are only marginally better than their NQ versions though and can be supplemented with materia. Remember that even in HQ, the Body, Hat, and Militia tool can be given a lot more Craftmanship.
I'd throw you a list of what I'm wearing, but the game isn't up!
exactly what Jueth said,it isnt hard my friend,i myself am almost there without food,im at 325 craftsmansip 295 control.and i havent even done my Jewelry department or my last 2 peices of DOH AF crafted gear HQ yet,once i put melds on all of those peices i will rech beyond 350 and 320 ,so yea just time and dedication,plus the food is a bit overpriced currently but people still buy
i have made an all around set out of all hq, dodore and patrician gear. including hq atheryte rings, militia wristlets, electrum choker, coral earings, and and the hqq secondary with a luminary. i maxed out all the stats on every piece with materia except the secondary that has the +11 ctrl and +3 cp (so i haven't even put the +6 craft in it yet) I made all the hq gear and melded it myself and I'm sitting at around 355-360 on every stat with food you can get higher. it should be noted that if you don't feel like hqing each set of af set and putting in materia its the most efficient way to go about so you can have the 1 set for every craft. but it would be easier top attain the stats with the af, but not by much. By the time you geNote if you try you can get the set and materia it if you are either very dedicated or lucky haha. I made the set and melded it about 60% of the way in 1 day. the last of it was the next few days as i threw a hundred IV and III Materia at it Q_Q... SO the answer your looking for... you can get there 1 of these ways.. use an af set with a few materia, great tools and some food.. make a set that fits every craft set in 1 go like i did, or find somebody with gear like mine that can help you out XD. People say its easy but those last few points are the hardest to get if you also want the max cp and control (which is everything if you want to hq stuff) If you dont care about hq then it really is easy.
Ive got hq plus the maxed out materia stats and if your gona bother with stats you gotta go hq all the way :D
How hard is it to craft HQ gear now? Did they solve the infinite crafting loop from beta that allows everyone to get 100% HQ chance.
