Bonus is I just sell my HQ mats I don't need and rely mostly on NQ mats. Quick synth normal mats, sell the HQ's to someone without pentameld. Win-Win.

Are you going to need a few melded pieces to get to the minimum requirements? Yes. Does anything need to be pentamelded? No.

Personally, I think end game is pretty poor if all there is to it is grinding out the right gear.
If you would have read my next line...I don't use HQ mats. I only use NQ mats, and your going to need to pentameld for that. Good luck using NQ mats trying to HQ a 510...because it is literally luck.
