Thanks, that was very helpful I have melded a little of my gear, but unfortunately don't have the cash to fully over meld just yet. I need to find something easy to craft that sells for a lot...

But my stats are high enough now (with food) to craft the Spicy Tomato Relish. I already have my Artisans Specs and I'm going to work on getting the token legs and feet next I think. I know they aren't BIS, but they are a big upgrade on my Patricians stuff so they will be a good stop gap for now. Especially as they don't cost any gil.
