Master 2 tokens with Lucis tools

I don't know if you realize this or not, but you'll get burned using crafting simulators since they aren't yet accurate for 3 and 4 star recipes, unless there was a massive update in the last couple weeks.

Anyways, you're complicating, very much so. You're over thinking a very easy craft pbp pbp rs rs cs2 cs2. You should never sacrifice cp or control for more craftmanship. The sweet spot is 453 which isn't even needed for these, the next one after that is 5xx (figure it out yourself if you want to know)

Why didn't i tell you which is better? Because knowing ffxivcrafter, none of those stats are accurate. In any case, you should NEVER meld for token items unless you are prepared to remeld later on.

Nah, ffxivcrafter is quite accurate.. It is sometimes off by 1 or 2, but that won't be a problem as long as you're not playing with the bare minimum craftsmanship etc.

lokyst on the other hand, I've noticed their 3-4 star synthesis calculation is way off and unreliable. It is nice for running the simulator though to see which rotation is superior with conditions factored in. (for lower lvl crafts)

Which is always what you want to work with when it comes to craftsmanship, the bare minimum to hit the sweet spot. 4 star sweet spot is 453, anything less isn't enough and anything more is a waste. Unless you manage to jump to the 5xx sweet spot. Unless you are saving a step, having more craftsmanship than the sweet spot is redundant at best because craftsmanship is a stat that's really all or nothing.

So both crafter and lokyst will burn you when you're trying to figure out the ideal craftsmanship for a tier of crafting because that 1 or 2 is a lot, which was my point in the first place.

Pbp pbp rs rs cs2 = 800/801

Case and point, the OP's own post.

P.S. After you have your lucis, you should be above 453 anyways and can focus on nothing but CP and Control melds.
