At the moment my crafting gear across most of my classes consists of;

MH: Artisan
OH: Militia HQ - no melds
Artisan Glasses
AF Body HQ - partially melded
Artisan Hand/Legs/Feet HQ - max melded
Dodore/Rose Gold/Mosshorn/Militia accessories HQ - Max melded

I got an Artisan Apron HQ and am looking into what to meld into it. I know that it is impossible to max meld because of the 5 slot limitation. And when I asked a friend, he said that what I meld into the body is dependent on what I meld into my offhands. Upgrading my offhands is my next step which I will be looking into doing soon but seeing as I have neither melded, I figured I am in a good position to plan the melds to be complimentary.

So my question is what is the best or ideal melding options for Artisan Apron and Artisan Offhands that work together while still being feasible. I don't think I can afford the risk of quad melding IVs onto offhand tool with only one guaranteed meld. But would still like to get the best result I can.
