It was suggested that he go with the accessories first in order to meld them, and boost the CP.

Personally, I'm getting all the i180 MH tools then I'm making i170 OH tools and gear from each class as I go along. MAde the i170 BSM OH already, need to get the i170 LTW and then start making LTW crafts. Then I'll pick another (CRP perhaps) and make its i170 then it's crafts. And so on. The idea being that each class I pick will provide a boost to the stats in the classes to come, to make producing HQ gear easier.

The only thing holding me up right now is getting i180 gathering gear. I've got about 4 more weeks worth to get before I'm finished with that stuff, then I'll be hitting the Favors hard to produce the gear.
