Possibly the cheapest 2* Melds?

[Suniki]

Hello everyone,

Been playing around a bit with Ariyala to find optimal melds for crafting 2 Star, and came up with this meld which features the following:

- Non Specialist
- Zero VI Materia
- Zero V Overmelds
- All Triple Melds minus 1 Single Quad
- Requires Scrip MH Tool
- Food: Tempura

This gives you min craftsmanship and control, with 513 CP with Tempura, or 526 with Tempura + HQ Tea. This also allows you to quad meld to get more CP as desired, with up to 8 more CP available if you want to quad meld (minus chest which would require penta). You can also change the quad meld from chest to Bracelet, Earring, or Necklace for the last craftsmanship so your CP overmelds are only quads.

If I made any mistakes, please let me know

Hopefully this comes in handy for some of you here, as it will definitely be my path for melding.



EDIT: Based on overmelding percentages, the following materia would be needed:

9 x CP-V (Exact) (+7 for other 7 OH)
8 x Control-V (Exact)
30 x CP-IV
31 x Control-IV
29 x Craftsmanship-IV (+ 70 for other 7 OH)
3 x Control-III


Due to this list, you can do the level 68 and 70 quests for each craft job and choose Cunning for the 68, and get all V materia you need for these melds for 100% free, with 8 Competence V on top of it to sell to buy some of the other materia.
