Hi all,

First post on the forums so apologies if I misexplain anything. I am at a point now where I feel confident crafting and would like to begin crafting starred crafts at level 60... my dilemma is at this point how best to gear up. I have a full set of carbonweave HQ gear and corresponding accessories (belt is HQ ironworks), current plan is to gather mats to make HQ ironworks HQ main/offhand and ironworks chest for BSM (I have a wonderful friend that mains crafter and is willing to make those items for me) which would hopefully then allow me to make my own main/ offhand for my other classes to increase their stats to make the remaining ironworks gear myself.

Is this a viable way of hitting the optimum gear/stats required to craft 1-4*? Or is there a better way of achieving this? After the initial help from a friend I'd prefer to do the rest of the work myself.

Thanks in advance and also apologies for the long ever so slightly convoluted post.
