It doesn't take a lot for 1 stars, I just finished off 3 full sets of relic items, ended up using a macro for the last 20 or so synths with near/full HQ ingredients.

This is 100% HQ for my stats, 796 Craft (overshot by quite a bit, need 187 from CSII and I was getting 200), 699 Control, 422 CP, starting with 3200+ Quality:
