The crafting grind

[Kotemon]

I never bothered, the max Materia melds weres to expensive anyway. With 3.0 I did both miner and botanist to get full sets to wear to make gathering easier. Right now I've bought most of my lv 52~55 craft gear and lucked out crafting some HQ mythrite tools. I probably can do crafts above 1 star now , but I need a better rotation for HQ. If you had the blue gear the climb would have been easier to craft HQ for lv +52. Right now the only thing to really work for aside from scripts, are the master craft recipes . Eitherway if the lv 51 ~60 Crafting quests are anything like Gathering's. You'd get gear and some of the tools to start you off. Although due to the limitation of mistletoe and tea leaves, among others. Its cheaper to buy Holy gear sets from the vender than AH Even the HQ is a bit overpriced due to the time investment on some ingredients. (you'll more likely outgrow it before you can convert or desynth it)
