Let me start off by clarifying that I'm not using a pentamelded set, nor am I looking for guides or suggestions to make one.

That being said, my crafting gear is a high-quality Aesthete set, fully melded with the default allotted slots. For some reason, though, I'm really struggling with making a full HQ Exarchic set for my friend's healer classes; either I finally manage to get the quality to 100% and don't have enough durability to finish it, or vice-versa.

Does anyone have any surefire macros for this? All the ones I've found online rely on pentamelding, and I'm not about that life. Any genuine help would really be appreciated; she hasn't been able to play in several months, and I want to surprise her with a full set when she comes back.
