Figure out what the recipe requires, what you can do, and how you will adapt to RNG. If you're following one of those rotations, you might as well just be using a string of macros. That said, 350 CP is stupid low, around 400 is where it starts to get comfy.

A basic geared Crafter should be around 395ish CP with only melded i150 stuff

405 or 420 is a clear boost
Allow one more mistake or enhanced freely a hasty into precise

I need some help, I'm so lost on what I should be doing with my blue scripts. Just not sure what I should be using them for in 3.3. just got back into the script game. Thant you.

You only need 2 Competence V and some Command IV/III to have a better body piece that you can use on all your crafters without spending any limited token.
Also, main tools are the only thing worth spending your goblin cup on since:
1) on the crafted counterpart you only have 1 sure slot for melds, which greatly increases you're expected cost for melding;
2) "universal tools" are not a thing, so you'll need to craft and separately meld each primary tool (huge cost);
3) there really isn't anything better to be bought with gubling cups.
Let's just say it's for efficiency's sake.

Using fc buff to reach the control requirement and using a HQ baked onipn allow me to craft the 190 body and reach 3.5* naturally on all spec and boost all non spec
Day 2

From what i saw... if you were correctly stuff before
There is no point burning red script for the i200 things...

Both i190 equipment and i195 tools are strong enough
I got full left side 190 (minus boots and belt) and I reach almost 900 and 860 on every crafter

It cost less for me to spend all red script in blue script conversion to get some of the old 180 crap to desynth and got tons of fiber
And craft the remaining piece of the GORGEOUS ironforge stuff

Correctly is being more or less on 3* star cap
My GSM and WVR weren't overpricely meld
And say at 825 control and 853 craftmanship
So 10 cont away from the new cap (FC buff or tools meld since mine were empty) and just abaked onion for the rest

That's not what I would call correct, and several people would say neither of use is correct. There are several ways to gear up, and red scrips are useful to some of them.

200 red scRip its a big boost in no time.
Dunnowhy why ppl Say its not
