Artisan Offhand Meld Discussion.

[xPeAcEx]

I am seeing a lot of people say that they melded all craftmanship, which is fine but here is my question. Why? Where did you save that extra step?

You have supra, all artisan set with everything melded to the max. You made your off hand +15 craftmanship and +3cp.

Your choice for your last meld was a +6 craftmanship or a +4 control. Where/in which craft did that 6 extra craftmanship save you a step or saved you cp in some way or form? Shark fin soup saves you a step, does the shark fin + the extra 6 craftmanship save you an additional step to the one you already saved? I am just trying to understand the choice people made in their melds so that i can finish mine as well Personally i am waiting until 2.45 before fully melding my remaining offhands to see if we are getting a new piece of body gear.

Edit because no matter how hard i try.

4* 451:
pbp, ing2, rs, rs
cs at end to finish
meaning we have 366 usable cp (398-32)

4* 518:
pbp, rs, rs
just a standard synth.
meaning we have 358 usable cp (373-15)

As far as i know, at best i can eliminate a step in a 3 star using a shark fin soup to get it to complete in 3 ing2 + RS + RS and finish with CS2 alone compared to 4 steps without the soup. So i go back to the question of what does that 6 craftmanship over the 4 control give as a benefit?
