Then, craft your ilvl 170 accessories and the belt --> fully meld them. Next step would be getting to three star. I assume you will have to upgrade at least your body armour. But again, you can either craft the ilvl 170 and meld it or get the ilvl 180 equivalent. (The 170 body fully melded (without materia Vs) is a bit stronger than the 180 body.)
I've 12 mil on my hands and i've already several CON+4 and CP+4 from crafter quest and 50red scrip.
Haven't choose any specialist atm....think to go with BSM, GSM and (dunno).

so take 180 MH and OH then? meld my 150 with all my CON/CP materia and start the way to 170?
