2-Star Capable Melding List

[Teppie]

I was having issues finding a proper melding list, and I'm no doubt certain that a good one exists out there, just my googling skills leave something to be desired. So I decided to try my hand at putting together a melding list to get those starter white gear 2-Star capable.

As it stands this list caps out every item CP for a total of 60, goes over the requirement for Control by 23 and has 12 extra Craftsmanship. I'm considering swapping a couple Craftsmanship 4 for Control 4 in the main and off hand just because I don't think there's any reason I'd need more than the exact amount to hit the requirement, and more control is always handy.

On my server at least, all grade 4 materia is pretty much identical in cost so the list didn't take into account that.

Would anyone be interested in quickly looking over this, make sure I'm not overlooking something or maybe giving suggestions? This is going to be pretty expensive and I'd hate pushing forward with this only to find some snag at the very end.

Edit: Updated to eliminate any need for melding main hand or off hand.

It looks good that is basically exactly how I melded with the exception of the main/offhand and chest. What I would note for people is that the main/offhand and chest do not need full IV materia to hit the required caps. This is important as they can get very expensive to meld as propsed and 95% or more people will not meld them like that. All the other melds are sane and most people attempting to 2 star craft should attempt those melds.

Yeah in theory you should be able to remove all the melds from the tools except 1 Craftsmanship 4 each on the free meld, and a CP4 for the second and still hit all the required caps.

Im at 819 craft so i just slotted control 4 on body and head and cp4 on MH & OH.
No point in melding any further lol.
Technically just meld CP 4 on both MH/ OH and ur fine

Yeah I just realized I could put more craftsmanship into my accessories and get away with just two CP IV's on the tools.
