The Master II books that shanvhere has been complaining I got using the blue quest main hand tool, without: reclaim, innovation, inginuity 2, careful synthisis 2. Did that for 4 classes and after making 3HQ for the book, never had the 5 NQ ones needed for supra hand in. So if I can do that, it's pretty obvious they are not as "hardcore" as shanvhere is making them out to be. With all cross class skills and good gear they are crazy easy now.
In order to be 4* capable you need Artisans Off hands. Those arent cheap.
Based on your wording you also had gil for spending on 12 MDs.

Altho I'm still wondering why exactly you did the Master II books with your class main hand. Or how exactly you are 4* capable using those..

I for one, am glad that the end-game crafting comes with a bit of a challenge. That's pretty much what's keeping all the botters and RMT gil buyers from taking over the end-game market because you can't just throw money at the problem and be done with it.

Perhaps.
But it's no excuse for boasting that its easy and fast to level crafting...and blatently ignoring you just spend over 10 million (depending on server) to do so...
obviously for someone actually new to crafting it will not be so easy or fast.
