How do i push towards 4 star?

[Bloody]

4* Crafting Stats as follows: 451 Craft, 407 Control Required.

HQ Max-melded Artisan's Gear (or substitute Ixali Smithing Gloves, same Control on them), Supra, and HQ Artisan Off-hand (no melds) sits you at a pretty 447 Craft and 410 Control. That is with +18 craft in a crafted HQ Artisan Body, or roughly 12 points higher than the token body, and each crafted piece also has 4 higher control possible than the +35s from the token items. Token gear is a great way to get yourself set up and pumping out 3* stuff, but it will NOT get you 4* stats. If you go all token gear, you will need a total of +16 craft and +8 control melded into your offhand, and that's an ugly Craft 4/3/3 Control 3/3 melding I don't recommend.

If you can get your Supra, and you have the skill for Lucis get that, cheapest by far. If you want to get stuff set up for multiple classes at once, gather up your materials and get your master 2 books, then meld roughly 9-12 control (or whatever is needed to get you that 407 mark) into your artisan offhand and use chilled popoto soup with the token gear to reach the craftsmanship you need to do the 4* sets to make crafted artisan gear, because melding it will be much safer than trying to max meld an offhand. Make sure you know your rotation, and it shouldn't be too hard since 4* is almost the same as 3* in terms of skill priorities. Hell, I 100%'d the first 3 artisan items I tried this way with minimal need for Tricks of the Trade. But make sure you have the concept down pat.
