I'm not aware of any crafter that uses MM2 for 2 star crafts, if you read my macro you would see it uses WN.

I craft more 3 star than 2 star, I don't cook as I don't consider the rewards (gil) to be worth my time, I buy raid food. That said, my Cul is 3 star ready, but no idea why I bothered xD The last point was not melds I propose at all, I'm happy using the minimum (3 star req's) craft/control and maxed CP. You and the previous person were talking about "max melds" and I said what you would need to meld to hit "397" craft while max-melding the other stat's.

I was basing a lot of my posts on the fact you said "397" was needed, 396 is a fair bit more affordable.

You are wrong imo, I have tested it (read above). I'm not saying you rotation is bad at all, it's decent, if you have the gear for it. But, it's not "100%", thought it's close enough for me personally.

It was a test, so I did it with the exact control you specify (375).

Often you'll still get 100% due to good on other Touch skills, but if those are normal, you'll be left with less than 100% if you get Poor on the AT.
