Materia suggestions

[TheMelonPan]

Hey everyone,
Sorry if this has been posted before, but does anyone have any suggestions for end-game materia? Right now I have 281 CP, 275 Craftsmanship, and 281 Control as a Culinary. Is there any specific number I should be shooting for each stat? Thanks!

From what I hear, it's just "Hit the stat cap on each of your items."

There's a nice post by Raldo here on the stat caps for every item. While I doubt you need to hit the cap on every single item to unlock 2star crafts, I suppose it's not half bad to min-max the accessories and belt at least and make life easier on yourself, especially once you need to begin melding all your lvl55 crafting sets.

How do u make lvl 4 crafting materia?

[Raminax]

Spiritbinding ilvl55+ crafting equipment and breaking it down.

Or more specific, the Artifact/Class set available to you at lvl50, the Militia Off-Hand tool and Militia Wristlets all have a chance to convert into Rank 4 crafting Materia. Can't say how high the chance is, I haven't bothered logging the results of my ilvl55 spiritbond trips, but overall it feels pretty low, roughly 15% chance or so.

roughly 15% chance or so.

I think it is much lower than this. A fellow FC member is 0/35ish on getting tier 4 from i55 items. I am 1/30ish on getting tier 4 from i55 items. I would guess it is less than 10% based on these two data points.
