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
