Crafters can use a "save" skill when luck trumps skills...

Please tell me how you can spam anything but hasty touches. Maybe it is something that you picked up by only limiting yourself to one DoH at 50.

Cute response, despite getting caught out lying with easily googeable information.

You need to work on your condescending responses. Step#1 - you can't be condescending without being right. Perhaps with google you can find my lodestone and see that I now have 345 cp after I added materia to my ring. And I'll have 348cp once I add it to my offhand.

Cheers

My mistake, the max is 351 CP. So no overmelds right?

Anyways I apologise for the condescension. I usually respond in kind when I spot people doing it.

The max is 348 cp.

I'm barely materia melded (+6 Craft and +1 CP) on full HQ gear, and I don't use Hasty Touch most of the time. I use macros for my 80 durability company supply runs, 100% HQ chance every time except the rare Excellent GS > Poor BB. NQ materials, no food. Works for everything 50 and under except for a few oddballs with items for ingredients or the ones that take crystals.

For 1 stars it's similar, but my macros only cover about 2/3 of the recipe, plus I use food and Innovation. 100% HQ chance 100% of the time from NQ ingredients. Again no Hasty Touch used.

I haven't tried 2 star recipes, so I can't say if Hasty Touch is needed there or not.

For the CP cap, full HQ base 313+35 melded, that makes 348. At least from what I've seen in game and posts about the melding caps.
