if you not completionist, and you just want to craft 1 star food HQ from all NQ stuff (maybe HQ with the cheap item like yak milk for creme brulee, or dzemael tomato for seafood stew) with macro, ONLY the i170 knife and i170 Acc+i150 gear full melded is enough.

i sell the i170 from 2 month ago until now, so far the sales is bad, is not worth it. who want to pay 20-30k for a food anyway.
