2 stars recipe

can anyone give example, in pics maybe, your gear set to reach 347 craftmanship?
so far with full HQ Patricide gear, HQ militia offhand and non LUminary HQ main hand I could only get 308

thanks

HQ AF set, HQ Militia Offhand, lvl 50 class quest tool

Then materia melds on all equipment (don't forget to meld your accs).

For instance I got +5 craftmanship on each of my rings.

wait, you mean the blue colored level 50 U/U tools that on par with Luminary tool is quest reward?

what your max stats btw? with and without food

Yep they are, and well they have freaking nice stats!

Also I don't really have that much yet as it's the last thing I will do. But someone in my FC has that much I think (without food and just with the equip I mentioned + melds), not 100% sure though. He might be missing a a few craftmanship points that he needs food for.

I think some people will cry blood knowing that that tool, on par with Luminary tool, is a quest reward

oh well, time to tackle all those guilds then

I didn't take any pictures but my armorer gear is at 359 craftmanship now. There is also a blacksmith on my server that once they get the quest tool will be probably at 370, or close to that. much more materia than I have in her blacksmith gear.

But you will need HQ class AF gear with materia in it, and HQ tools especially the offhand. The patricians gear wont get it for you.

yep gonna work my way on HQ AF, got head and leg so far

If you still care, finished making some items today. My WVR has full AF HQ, class quest tool and all triple melded accs. Ends up at 329 craftmanship (with still 11 guranteed open materia slots + extra slots from unsafe melds).

Ill try contact you later in game

What are the stat caps for AF gear? I just used a craftmanship IV on my HQ AF boots and got 1 craftmanship...

boots and leg seems to have limited cap for that
you might try body for a better shot

Most AF pieces actually have really really low caps. Body piece and offhand militia are best for craftmanship melding.

Can you double meld IV craftsmanship on the body and offhand without wasting? Just finished my full HQ set for gsm and need to pump in the materia to do 2 stars. I have control on my accessories right now because doing that made all of my crafts able to do 1 stars. I guess now I'll be making new ones to pump with craftsmanship. What are the caps on the accessories? I'm using the aetheryte rings, red coral earrings, militia wristbands and electrum choker(didn't see any better gear than this while browsing recipes).

meld meld and meld some mo'.. if all fails.. use food, there is some high lvl food that gives a good amount of craftmanship+

oh, interesting
gonna try that

theres crafting AF gear? i need to check this out. anyone got names? lol

it usually has craft titles on it, like 'Weaver's Gloves' etc

Finish crafting my weaver set!
Full HQ AF, HQ Militia Offhand, Class lv50 tool, current stat 364/341 craftmanship/control without food
might gonna pump it with additional materia
theoritically 400 craftmanship with food is possible

Yeah, I got so much materia to waste that I could hit caps on everything on all my crafters right now. But it's pretty pointless as there is nothing that requires to you to have stats as high as that. Looking forward to what they might introduce with 2.1.
