Understood HQ with materia is faster than non. Questions:
1. As a Chef, bond faster making a level 49 recipe vs a level 29, assuming yes, but haven't really experimented with this?
2. Will gathering gear as a chef spritbond: not at all, partially but slower, or at the same pace?
3. If I put on some craft and gath gear and do a lvl 50 dungeon will it bond as fast as my war/magic gear, not at all or partially but slower - assuming we complete at a good pace, is this faster than grinding recipes?
4. Besides the ring from a quest (I think it's meteor) is there other equipment that offers similar increases (I'm aware only of the aetherye (spelling) rings and a necklace that offer +1). I thought there was an achievement reward crown that offered +3 as well, but I got mine and there's no spirit bond increase. Must be thinking of something else.
5. Misc tips: I have the potions & FC Boost - any other boosts I'm missing?
