    As a crafter...

    that doesn't use food, materia, and only has cp of 400; is there a good rotation for the Ishgardian stuff? I normally only get about 1800 collectibility.

    As a fully geared and melded crafter (2370/2339/541) I have found that I still need an additional 30 CP in order to turn in level 80 synths at the highest level using all NQ mats. Others may have different results.

    Why do you not use materia? Even if you're not looking to optimise, you can still get by just by capping out CP. CP materia aren't expensive on the MB and you can even get them from yellow scrip vendors. There is zero reason not to have your gear melded.

    You can get more CP with Blood Bouillabaisse. It's easy to make (only lv79 recipe) and all its ingredients are obtainable by retainers.

    If you want to go on the cheap use grade VI materia, the boost is similar and you have a 100% remove success rate

    if your only willing to put in minimum effort expect minimum reward out of it

    Sounds like you should be doing the level 60 turn-ins rather than the 80 ones

    Ah, my bad n_n

    I guess you're right. The OP's biggest problem is lack of materia and they should probably prioritise that. Food is a great way to maximise but its value is diminished if someone is undergeared in the first place.

    So much this. I was actually updating my alt's levelling gear yesterday and managed to find some VIs going for as low as 10-15k a piece.

    You could do the lower level items. They give less, but are made really fast in level 80 gear. 8 scrips for a highest rating level 40 craft. Reflect, one or two touches, one synthesis. The only real problem I've thought of after I've done a few thousand scrips with the level 40 item is that it's heavier on crystals. The reason I started with level 40 is that I only goldsmith and mine, and without buying materials the level 40 item is the highest level I can gather and make with just those two classes.

    addition: just realized level 40 uses shards not crystals. Maybe more comparable to less crystal use?

    Because I absolutely despise materia and If it was up to me it would be ripped out of the game. So a personal choice. I'm not expecting a 100% HQ rotation. Was just looking for something that would get me higher than my base understanding of what order to use the skills in would get me.
