As a new crafter with no lofty ambitions, what to meld?

[Eye_Gore]

What would be best stats to meld to if I only plan on doing one star crafting with patricians, and want the best chances of HQing? I plan of having all of the needed skills. Would maximising CP be my best goal if I dont want to go crazy with the overmelds?

Thanks for your time

I see you are on my server. I have all my crafters to 50. If you don't have a FC that can help you make gear, I'll do it for you if you want to supply the mats, no charge. Though I may have some lying around. AF gear is going to get you better starting stats over the patricians. If you want send me a message, though I'll probably be offline the next couple days. I got my CP to 338 with all cross class action you can easily HQ any 1 star with normal mats, and get 2 stars up over 70% chance at HQ, with one starting mat at HQ will get 100% at a 2 star. Let me know, would be happy to help.
