Yellow script augmentation an alternative to overmelding

You might consider, in that spiritbinding, crafting the accesories from that set, HQ. Stick one materia onto them and they’ll SB at the same rate that the NQ left side stuff with 2 materia does.

More materia for the crafting time spent is always a good thing. Oh, if your Ixali beast tribe is leveled up, burning a few BT Allowances on them can get you a bunch of low grade Materia for slotting into the SB’d gear.

I'm using the i330 augmented gear and I can reliably macro 100% HQ 3 star recipes (70 durability) as long as I start with 7000 quality (most of the times 5000 quality is enough but 7000 is 100% guaranteed). I use Tempura Platter NQ and my final stats with it are 1500 craftmanship, 1402 control and 493CP.
No way in hell I'd go through overmelding V and VI, if you buy them and have bad luck, you can easily blow up dozens of millions of gil with the last overmelds. Granted, I only craft food so this works for me. Omnicrafters have no choice but to get the ala mhigan set and meld it.
