New 70 crafter

[Adeacia]

Hello there!

After ignoring crafting for most my time in Eorzea I've been working on it these past few months. Every crafter is 70 other than CUL and ALC.

Looking at the stat requirements for the 4.4 crafts, even though I have full yellow scrip gear and specialist, my stats still aren't high enough to even try these new crafts. I take it my only real choice is to get CUL up and use food for the extra bit.

Or is there another way? Keep in mind I'm not rich nor am I crafting to make Gil, so anything that requires it is not an option.
