I'm curious what rotation you used when making these? I'm assuming it's a slight variation to Rath's Rotation but I'm not sure. Mind sharing?

[tayler1480]

I use a risky(rng) rotation a lot less reliable than rath's rotation so won't post it as it really is questionable (I use an rng rotation as I hate how long rath's rotations are). I suggest sticking with rath's rotation or a slightly modified rath's rotation if the original rotation no longer work. I'd assume at worse a modified rath's rotation may have to sacrifice a hasty touch for an extra careful synth 2 until you get higher stats.

Nice post! May I ask how you were able to acquire so much Glass/Luminous Fiber?

When it comes time to choose tier 5 materia from the moogles it looks like T5 cunning materia is still either too much or too little for this equipment. T5 competence on the other hand looks like a winner as well as command. I'm dreading having to mimic your belt and earring melds.

Nice post! May I ask how you were able to acquire so much Glass/Luminous Fiber?

Glass fiber can be easily obtained from Desynthesis of gear bought with Blue Crafter / Gatherer tokens (in Idyllshire). Or Void Ark gear (which also yields Eso mats)
With approximately 100 tokens and 30 counterfoils (or whatever they are called) you can buy and desynthesize enough get to get like 10-20 glass fibers AND Fieldcraft Demimateria II, depending on your luck.

I also made all of my Ironworks / High-Mythrite gear myself using only desynthesis and glass fibers obtained from Mog quests and pentamelded all.
Plus, switching specializations a lot.

But I didn't overmeld with Tier 5 materia because the success rate is far too low to be worth it. In terms of profit / loss, overmelding with V materia is a loss, even if you were to succeed 100% of the time (virtually impossible), simply because that level of Craftsmanship won't be needed to craft any new recipes in the future.

I have only done the accessories so far with rath rotation. Besides more FS, the rest actions are exactly the same

Dayum, you've been busy today. Very nice.

I made the chest and legs with Rath's today and it was very smooth. Very little anxiety at all. With minimum requirements you can miss 3 FS and still not have to modify your rotation at all from Rath's

Alt melds for cap/sleeves would be Control V Control IV Control III Craftsmanship III Craftsmanship II or Control V Control IV Craftsmanship IV Control III Craftsmanship II, both have slightly better chances and can be cheaper depending on server prices.
Of course you could also use 2 tier V (2 Control V, or one Control V and one Craftsmanship V) and be done by the second overmeld, but that's probably not saving any money unless your server has very borked prices.
Likewise, Belt can also be done with Control V, Control V, CP IV, Craftsmanship III, Craftsmanship III, or Control V, Control V, Craftsmanship IV, CP IV, Craftsmanship II. Better chances overall, possibly money saved.
On a side note, 4 pieces with tier V overmelds make me cry.
