How do i push towards 4 star?

[chidarake]

Do you mean that the non meldable items you can trade in for with 2/3 star crafts, + supra = 4 star now?

I have not done the math or intend to, but that gear with supra and the new off -hands melded should make you a 4* capable crafter.

cut.

totally agree with you that skill and experience will keep people out of the 3*-4* hq market, but people like glam and you don't need hq for that which is why sometimes i'll put up some nq items for the hell if it. especially the bard kirimu coat.

that being said those mastercraft 2 books will definitely seem impossible to non experienced crafters not to mention the cost for them if you fail too many times which lets face facts is easy as hell to do even with reclaim.

in truth though im happy about that as we don't need to much competition do we....p

I can verify this. With Supra, max melded craft-specific gear and BiS jewelry (jewely/belt are only 3star), and an OH artisan tool (again only 3star) with +15 craftsmanship & +7 command melded meets the exact stat requirements needed to 4 star.

No food or fc buffs needed. Bouillabaisse it is. (should put you at 395 cp after eating)

If you can HQ the 3.9star token items for the master2 book, you can HQ the 4stars with a very similar rotation (substitute Rapid Synth gambles for pbpx2 + careful synth x3 for progress)

edit:

This is the route you have to go if you intend to craft the BiS left side gear yourself instead of buying off MB. I suggest NOT doing what I did and starting with leatherworker first, as the artisan's mitts are the weakest upgrade it seems. (all that work for just +4 control)
