Stat requirements for 1/2/3 star crafts

[Yonko]

I've recently got all my crafts to 50 and looking to start working on the i70 gear. But I can't seem to find anywhere that actually list the required stats for the items.

I know I'll need to do some melding and I'm okay with that but just trying to figure out if I'll be able to do some melds and start crafting or if I'll have to be fully melded before I can craft the items.

To get the 70 tool and to be able to make 3 star recipies with it, you have a path for the DOH like this:

(0) Get the Level 70 DOH hat from Mor Dhona, get the new iLevel 55 DOH items from 2.3 and meld all items as far as possible with maximum melding as long term goal. There are Google spreadsheets for optimal values including the items from 2.3. This one for example: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...HZjRMWUE#gid=0. Also get the Master recipe books from Mor Dhona, especially the 1st batch from 2.2 because you need them for step 2.

(1) Craft 100 HQ items 1 star 40 durability (need Craftmanship 275) in order to craft the items from step 2

(2) Craft the 50 items the guy in Mor Dhona wants out of the items you crafted in step 1 (2 star recipies from Master recipe books where you need Craftsmanship 347, 318 Control and preferrably a 388 HP pool for easy macro crafting)

Boom, you have your 70 tool and welcome to the wonderful World of 3 star recepies where you now need Myth mats, rare objects from Ex fights and unspoiled nodes. And a whoppin' 391 Craftsmanship and 374 Control. Well not really boom because alone getting the 70 DOH hat and the Master recipe books can take a good while but just keep at it.

The items you turn in to get the master books are 2 star 40 durability items. They require 347 Craftsmanship.

You need to get the master book before you can get the artisan spectacles.

http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/ is an excellent resource to plan your melds and find times for mat farms.

You will want to start gearing up for 2-star melds first, but it should only require minimal melding in your accessories and food to boost your craftsmanship bonuses. You may overmeld your accessories and offhand if you want to increase control to increase your chance at hq or to use a guaranteed hq macro. You'll have to overmeld almost every piece of equipment to meet the requirements if you don't use food. Be aware that the demimateria crafts require a lot of effort or money to get.

Goldsmith and culinarian are the most common desynthesis classes, granting access to a variety of demimateria types or as the fastest way to cheaply gain lots of high-level demimateria you can use in crafts or sell.
