Highest level item that can be HQ'd with a single macro?

[tayler1480]

It is possible to achieve a 100% hq level 60 1 button macro (ignoring poor conditions) with a full i170 crafted set melded with only grade 4 materia or lower. Not saying it's practical as it requires FC buffs & limiting yourself to 414cp but achievable.



Melds needed can be found here: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/U36H but I doubt anyone will/should do these melds since there are many other rotations for other items which rely on higher cp.

The above is hard to achieve but if you're just trying to achieve the 7100 collectability then the rotation below doesn't require as much stats & for some could be done without food (still 1 button). The below rotation is using nq beet soup.
