New 70 crafter

[Kalayel]

I'll have to see what I can do when ALC is 70 and geared so I can actually craft the crafting gear. Just hit 60 today.

Since I have all master books and nothing to spend red scrips on, materia it is. What stat should I focus on? I was thinking CP once I hit the requirements for 4 star gear.

I concur with Rosa, first CP, then craftman and finally control. Pentamelding is really a chore, but I'm sure there should be some minimum-stat meldings on Aryala to give you an idea. For the former crafting gear, there were melds only using three slots, so we should have the same thing for the onishi.

And keep in mind, they added materia recovery so you can take them back off your gear when youre ready to upgrade(100% chance grade 1-4, 80% grade 5, 20% grade 6). Considering how much materia is just thrown at you by end-game, its really not as painful to get into as you might think.

Isn't it 40% recovery chance for grade VI ? At least it is for combat materias.

I was posting that from memory, and it seems i got the percent wrong. Youre right that its 40, rather then 20. Ill edit the original post to avoid any(more) confusion.

It is a good idea to max out your CP, which is 493 pre food although do this not in the first two meld slots...

The legs and feet both take 8CPs to cap. In those peices a cunning VI makes a lot of sense. I also used a cunning VI in the earrings.
