Cracked CRYSTALS

[Ayerinn]

If anything, I think GATHERERS have it harder than Crafters. Crafters are going to look to getting the crystals for their gear first, gatherers are more of a "middle class" that have to overmeld to get an HQ chance for Folkore (though it seems on the crafting side HQ folklore isn't even extremely necessary)...I just find that weird.

(side note
3* crafts I'm thinking will require 1580 Craft 1460 CTRL. )

Gatherer melding is just as easy if not easier than crafter right now... here are my melds http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/118MZ super cheap and easy

That's WITH FOOD.

You can pentameld Crafting sets and do 1 star w/o food but you don't need tier VI. I wanted to get to 1200 perception w/o food, what is the best meld for that?

I would definitely focus on gathering stat and quantity over quality. HQ sells but they don't get much more than NQ does right now.

True, but I still would like to be able to hit 1200. Just thought the threshold was weird this time.
