Crafting 100% Success 100% HQ 2 Star Items

[Xandim]

*hijacking thread =P*

So I started crafting a while back but never tried anything past 1 star, so here are is my LTW:

Head: control +3 / control +2 / craft +4
Body: control +4 / craft +6 / craft +5
Gloves: control +2 / control +3 / craft +4
Waist: ctronl +2 / control +3 / craft +3
Legs: cp+3 / control +3
Feet = Legs
Offhand: 2x Craft +5
Choker: craft = control = cp +3
Earring: control = cp +3
Wrists: control +4 / cp+3
Rings: both control+3/control+1

And right now I have craftsmanship 347, control 346, cp 328. Is that enough to at least make the HQ 2 star item using NQ materials? I wanna start working on at least getting the master recipes. And lets say I get the new head and weapon for my LTW, would I still be too far away to at least crafting the new recipes? Thanks in advance guys, =]
PS: i plan on using HQ bouilabaisse to craft.

Is this guide still viable? Even for the tokens you need for the mastercraft book, new weapons and glasses?

I don't see why not. The caps for stats on gear hasn't changed at all, so melding should be exactly the same. Of course, melding your gear to the stat cap will give you better results, though it is more expensive. This melds given in this guide can craft the 80 durability 2-star items, but it'll be harder to craft the 2-star master recipes (e.g. silver brocade, darksteel hook, spruce plywood, etc) starting from NQs.

One thing I should also point out is that the Artisan's spectacles is slightly better than a fully melded head gear, so, you don't need to meld DoH AF headgear once you get those spectacles.

I'm having a hard time finding a macro for the 80 dura master recipes. The one I found isn't giving enough progress, and I apparently just really suck at coming up with a rotation. I have 361 for both craftmanship and control, and 328 cp unbuffed.
I also have all DoH classes maxxed.

Just tried making a HQ Spruce Plywood with this and it leaves me with AT LEAST 100 progress to go to actually finish the craft...anyone got any tips to fix this?

I pretty much followed this guide exactly, so I don't have access to CZ or other fancy stuff.

This rotation wont work for the Master 2star turn in items. You wont have enough progress to finish as u suggested. A quick youtube search for "FFXIV Master Craft" will come up with the rotation you are looking for. I do know that your Craftmaship will need to be at least 350 for that to work unless you take a gamble on the Quality

Thanks. Unfortunately the only videos that show up require a lot more skills than I have access to right now...is there just now way to do it without those?

You can come up with wtv rotation works best for you (Masters mend 2, Hasty touch spam, etc). You may not be able to guarentee 100% HQ as u will be more heavily rellying on RNG (eg. 75% HQ chance) but u should still be able to get the job done. It'll just be slightly harder and more random.

the set of moves for me worked pretty well got hq with ease

[dragooon27]

whitefall move list works pretty well i got hq rose gold gear with out any problems i also used control +5 action from fc for a little boost once i get actions at lv8 i'll b able to get +10 i suggest u all follow whitefall move list plus my fc actions idea for a control boost. happy crafting.

[dragooon27]

u r in good shape u should b able to with the new gear. use fc action control plus five or ten for a control boost
