This guide shows our best crafting meld sets, explaining our bestin slot(BiS), a brief overview on how bestto farm materia as a crafting class and if the Crystalline Tools areworth your time.

Once you hit level 90, you can start crafting and melding your endgame gearto craft items from the newest Master Books.

Crafting stats and melds are entirely dependent on the craft itself aswell as your budget, time, and crafting goals.

There can be many viable stat points at endgame, which all work. However,some might be more expensive but offer benefits such as faster rotations andless of a reliance on HQ mats/food/potions. The most important part is to strikea balance between cost and your goals.

For example, if you do not craft often, there is no need to spend a fortuneon an expensive meld set if you will not make the money back.

If you do not have the new Indagators gear yet, start by checking outour guide to catch up on gearing:

What is best for your crafting classes depends entirely on yourgoals and there is no point spending 10 million gil on a setfor you to not use it often.

At the same time what is best also depends on the craft, what's best forcollectables may not be best to current endgame which also might notbe optimal for old endgame crafts and none of which might be best forexperts. To this end a more general meld set is ideal.

As a general meld priority you tend to want CP → Craftmanship → Control. The reasonbeing CP is the most impactful stat to a crafter. Craftmanship isgenerally needed to start and finish the craft and then control is nededto gain quality.

More specifically you only need craftmanship to set breakpoints. It worksin stat tiers meaning extra points may not necessarily be of any use. The valueof control has also slowly dropped this expansion due to a reliance on HQmaterials.

The best way to farm crafting materia by far is via farming purple andwhite scrips. Purple scrips are used to obtain grade X materia, and white scripsare used for grades IV-IX. While scrip farming, you can also spiritbond yourgear and gain some additional materia in the process.

There is no best scrip item to farm. However, CUL and ALC tend to bepopular due to the fact that they have less intermediate materials, saving youtime and crystals.

Another option is to simply buy the materia off of the Market Board, but thisis not recommended unless you can afford it or if materia prices have gone down.For most people, I would not advise throwing all of your gil at the market.

There are several meld sets we recommend for different purposes below.Check out their descriptions to know if this set is for you. WithDawntrail coming soon we mainly recommend the Budget Scrip set which ismore than enough to get you to level 100.

There are no foods/potions linked directly with these sets becausedifferent rotations can require different buffs and list their stat requirementsbefore buffs. Generally, HQ Jhinga Biryani and HQ Calamari Ripieniare the most popular foods.

You can substitute any odd numbered materia with a higher gradeversion of itself to save you gil. Normally VII can end up moreexpensive than IX for example if you are buying.
