I'm curious what rotation you used when making these? I'm assuming it's a slight variation to Rath's Rotation but I'm not sure. Mind sharing?

[tayler1480]

I use a risky(rng) rotation a lot less reliable than rath's rotation so won't post it as it really is questionable (I use an rng rotation as I hate how long rath's rotations are). I suggest sticking with rath's rotation or a slightly modified rath's rotation if the original rotation no longer work. I'd assume at worse a modified rath's rotation may have to sacrifice a hasty touch for an extra careful synth 2 until you get higher stats.

Nice post! May I ask how you were able to acquire so much Glass/Luminous Fiber?

When it comes time to choose tier 5 materia from the moogles it looks like T5 cunning materia is still either too much or too little for this equipment. T5 competence on the other hand looks like a winner as well as command. I'm dreading having to mimic your belt and earring melds.

Dayum, you've been busy today. Very nice.

I have only done the accessories so far with rath rotation. Besides more FS, the rest actions are exactly the same

I made the chest and legs with Rath's today and it was very smooth. Very little anxiety at all. With minimum requirements you can miss 3 FS and still not have to modify your rotation at all from Rath's

Alt melds for cap/sleeves would be Control V Control IV Control III Craftsmanship III Craftsmanship II or Control V Control IV Craftsmanship IV Control III Craftsmanship II, both have slightly better chances and can be cheaper depending on server prices.
Of course you could also use 2 tier V (2 Control V, or one Control V and one Craftsmanship V) and be done by the second overmeld, but that's probably not saving any money unless your server has very borked prices.
Likewise, Belt can also be done with Control V, Control V, CP IV, Craftsmanship III, Craftsmanship III, or Control V, Control V, Craftsmanship IV, CP IV, Craftsmanship II. Better chances overall, possibly money saved.
On a side note, 4 pieces with tier V overmelds make me cry.

Can anyone confirm if the CP cap has been raised from its previous 472? Each of the new i190 accessories have +3 more cp but if the hard cap is still 472 it may be pointless to upgrade
