Crafting requirements.

[Adren]

OP take a good look at the images below. Look long and hard at the lvl 50 4 star!! Hate to break it too you, but lvl 50 4 star gear is not worth it. One extra materia slot and One extra stat are not worth the time,effort and gil need to craft them to NQ or HQ or even try. That lvl 51 White is cheaper and eaiser to craft to NQ or HQ and can be done a lot quicker.

Crafting leve items to HQ while leveling is not easy and requires more then just slapping on HQ crafting gear. You need melds, overmelds, a good rotation along with food and medicine, other crafting classes have skills that make hitting HQ easier so leveling them is advised. You can craft HQ leves with the lvl 51 stuff but you will have to due what I just mentioned. Also getting 4 star AAR crafting gear or HW 2 star crafting gear now is pointless and waste of time!!

(Difficulty:421 Quality:4561) Control +30 2-Materia slots

Umm the artisan gear is better then the 50 4 star and easier to get IMO. The chest has 107 craft. 35 control and 2 CP, better then the 51 gear which has 92 craft and 30 control even HQ it's only 105/34. IF you don't have every craft at 51 already you wont over meld it. Since it's I level 65 the best you can meld into it is a 4. Even if you meld 4s the best you can get is 107....So the 50 greens are better then the 51s Unless you can manage to get HQ and even then you don't meet the recommended crafting stats for level 51 crafts....... There is no level 51 arm for crafting BTW so the best you're gonna do (without having to grind through hours of content that you're better off ignoring because you can level through it to 52 faster then grinding to get the 90 arms) is the artisan. Yes you can level past it really quickly which is my point the I level 90 stuff is a waste of time. So streamline it. It's pointless and most new people ignore it.
