2* hq macro (all nq mats/no rng skills) - Extremely high stats required

[distant-cubix]

Anyone have this macro setup as text already that can link?

The second day into the patch I decided to see if I could create a 2* 100% hq macro using all nq mats & no rng skills such as hasty touch/rapid synthesis etc. Also I didn't want to use Maker's mark as it would extend the macro too much.

This is what I came up with:
Please note the simulator isn't 100% accurate & the minimum craftsmanship to do this is actually 1004 (I tested this & also tested 1003 which was too low), I only managed to test control for 1016/1018 where 1016 was too low & so not sure if 1017 is actually enough or not.



Without using maker's mark. Anyone think they can improve it? If on ragnorak I can give you 1M gil as a reward if you manage to reduce the stat requirements. (First come first serve)

This is what I'm working with atm until I switch to CRP spec for neck/bracelet ( I like having my in-game name on my gear): http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/UFQ7

If you were to put a Waste Not I after the original SH II You should be able to reduce that Masters Mend II to a Masters Mend I. Right now you have a touch not under SH II. That would bring it under the SH II. It should even cost you less CP.

All touches are 100%

Master mend II = 6 steps
Waste Not 1 & Master mend = 5 steps

What you suggest won't work though thanks for the input. Really appreciated.
