Possible: Directly going from i55 to i75 tool

[AttacKat]

It says 120~140 pairs at a rate approaching 20%, with the remainder (approximately 75-80% of the total) coming from weapon parts and clocks at a rate of about 1/3 after recursive desynthesis. The price tag for that is going to vary depending on your server and the day, but it's going to be an eight-figure number.

Then right below:
96 Rose Gold Clasps
50 Rose Gold Ingots
15 Fieldcraft III
4 Clear Demimateria III
27 Darksteel Nuggets (40 total, 14 single and 13 double)

That is a VERY expensive experiment w each costing on avg 40-50K just on peacock ore. Cost, is the main reason why most ppl went the CUL route.

Edit:

Before I waste a bunch of time doing this what is the drop rate on the Artisan Spectacles desynth for the master craft materia?

GSM Dsyn <70%, 21 specs, 2 MC, 0 FC3
GSM Dsyn 70<76%, 34 specs, 4 MC, 4 FC3
GSM Dsyn >=76%, 17 specs, 0 MC, 4 FC3

Haven't cont to do more to raise GSM Desyn lvl.

after you've done so many artisan spectacles, youll have over 30 gold ingots from desynth and can make rose gold clasps ;p

The New Ehcatl Smithing Gloves gives 39 control without any melds. Since you don't really need CP for quaility, you could swap this in for all the classes instead of having to meld their AF gloves.

hooo....

CP is very... very important, especially if u make star craftings. Hope SE fix that glove for lacking CP. XD

Well the star crafting in question doesn't require the item to be HQ, so the CP loss from the smithing gloves is irrelevant for the purpose of getting Supra without an Artisan tool. Outside of that then I would agree.

If it doesnt require HQ then no control is required... Nor a lot of CP.

It's to meet the control requirements to begin the craft. Supra requires a mastercraft demimateria and 5 crafted items. The crated item in question cannot be HQ'd, but requires 391 craft/374 control to attempt. The point of this topic was to show that you can get those crafted items without an Artisan tool, but instead melding your AF gear, the new demimateria acessories and utlizing FC buffs. With the smiting gloves you can skip having to meld each and every AF glove for this step.

lol

Supra doesn't even need HQ at all. So... of course I'm talking about making other stuff like gears & weapons.

But I do forgot to mention this since this thread is about DoH tools. But it's just a heads up for making importance of CP for crafting in general. ^^;

So what are the steps to make this to work? You have explained that it's possible to go from i55 to i75 but there's no steps on which actions we should use to not lose durability before it's done.

Bare in mind that you don't even NEED a Supra to make 4-star crafts before you go and spend that Mastercraft Demateria. While every little helps, it's not essential.
