As a crafter...

[Burningskull]

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.

I am well aware of that. I was just illustrating to the op my results without food or medicine

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.

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

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.

Why do you not use materia?

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.

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

I'm doing the lvl 70 ones.

This is my rotation but I still can't max I need more cp

Thanks very much. I'll try this out

Wait.. care to explain that?

[hydralus]

Wait.. care to explain that?

I'd wager something along the lines of "I shouldn't have to deal with this".

[LineageRazor]

What's to explain? Materia is ridiculously annoying.

Nothing says "fun" like overmelding at a 7% success rate!

I mean, it's fair to say he should endure it if he wants to be a successful crafter, but I can definitely understand the desire to want it gone. Or, at least, overhauled.
