You know what would be amazing for 4.25, being able to buy lower rank materia with red scripts

erm, you can buy materia IV and V's are you talking about I,II and the like you have to buy those with beast tribe. But I would also have like the option to buy everything below VI with scripts.

I've heard rumors about the stats for the 3 star gear being 1500 craft, 1350 control and 470 cp (without food/medicine buffs). Is this accurate?

Any suggested melds for this?

I found some of those inaccurate, especially the none specialist ones. so adjust as needed especially craftsmanship and CP, for the one craft I need 1630 craftsmanship for a none spec craft

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi Caimie you're my only hope.

What am I doing wrong? I tried 3 different 2 star macros and despite being well over the minimum stats, they all fail.

My stats: Crafts: 1471, Control 1369, CP 461 + HQ tempura and HQ CC tea.

The macros are in these posts:

My test is snailfish oil with 3 / 5 of the ingredients being HQ.

None of them ever get to 100% quality, none of them complete.

Those macros are probably for 2 star, and snailfish is a 2.5 star craft.

Ziggyzapps' right. You were trying to craft the Snailfish Oil, which are Special 2 star recipes (6377 Difficulty, 28506 Quality). But the pages you showed up there were for normal 2 star recipes (3543 Difficulty, 15837 Quality). The two are vastly different in difficulty! We're able to macro normal 2 star recipes from pure NQ mats using macros with ease using stats of 1330/1220. But for Special 2 star recipes, you need at least 1500 craftsmanship to macro them, and we still cannot macro them easily from pure NQ mats at the moment (we can do it, but need some HQ mats). However, do not despair, as 1330/1220 is sufficient to manually craft Snailfish Oil from pure NQ mats into HQ product. Ch60 to Ch62 in my crafting guide here were all dedicated to it. So you'll be alright!

This is kind of off-topic, but I just wanna distribute some info about the new Fashion Report Check-In mini-game in the Gold Saucer. It is a little bit crafting-related anyway.

Hopefully, this will help people more easily get high scores in this mini-game for more MGP!

Guys,

The only way I can do now is collect as much HQ materials and press synthesis to see the increase starting quality but this is total of what HQ materials you have on hand. Anyway to know the quality numbers of individual material? This way you can find out how many HQ materials you need to craft for 100% HQ.

Thanks.
