As I always wanted to catch up with crafters but my lack of money didn't allow me to with the new patch I managed to get some full red (now blue) scrip armors and start crafting some star recipes mostly because of the profit I could get by crafting endgame things.

I am at a point where I can 100% craft HQ 1 star things, like Pterodactyl Leather, by using a simple rotation. I have no clue how to craft 2 stars, no clue which materias to meld and on which piece.

Apart from the above, I am currently on Pheonix and MB is greatly unstable. Will it be worth to craft and sell things? Other than selling what else can I get out of endgame crafting?

I am at a complete loss so I decided to ask you people for some guidance and tips since probably you are way more experienced than me. Thank you all in advance.

Game on!
