resource for BiS gear/materia?

If you're already max melded with artisan armor, you'll be here. All you will need is 15 (17) craftsmanship to attempt 4 stars, and any craftsmanship past that is currently useless, unless there's a progress rotation I'm unaware of. 3 CP on top of that can help at times, any extra control give a tiny boost.

If you're fully melded in 2.3 gear, the FC buffs will get you there until you make your artisan gear.

One thing I wanted to ask, how did you get the BiS materia to show up on that site? Did you do that manually or did you use the BiS solver? When I try the BiS solver, it just shows the best gear, it doesn't do the melds for me.

Okay I have all of the new BiS gear and am fully-melded, except for the off-hand. I wanted to ask you, how do you suggest melding the off-hand? I know you said I'll need 15-17 Craftsmanship in order to do 4-star, and extra CP is always nice, but just kind of wanted to hear how you actually suggest melding it. Thanks for all your help!
