Requesting info/rotation/macro for a new fully melded crafter!

I'm sorry, it seems the poster above said pretty much the same thing! I feel silly.

No problem

I was making the point that you don't have to meld the Culinarian gear to do this, so long as HQ Culinarian mats are sufficiently cheap on your server. You can use food to get to 2-star minimum stats (prob Rolanberry Cheesecake) and then just spam Spicy Relish with HQ mats until you have 10 and can get the Specs. This is exactly how I did it when I got my first max melded class (Weaver).

I'm not saying getting Culinarian to 3-star is any way a bad thing, just that it's not needed to get the Specs if you want to focus on another craft first.

That's true. I got my Spectacles doing every synth painfully manually with HQ materials, as I didn't come up with this rotation until after my third Artisan Tool. I did have Culinarian fully melded however because I knew I'd get plenty of use out of it. It's definitely the class to do it on. Even on a legacy server the materials for everything else is so much more expensive than Culinarian's Relish.

In the thread I linked there's some lengthy discussion on how the Control requirement in the rotation is much higher than needed for the rotation to actually HQ, so (to the OP) might be worth looking to see just how little you can meld and get away with.
