Sorry for the title, but I really need to ask a favor from the knowledgeable crafters here. If you click the link in my sig, you can see my meld setup for my Culinarian. Being my first craft to 50, I slapped on my early melds in a bit of a haphazard fashion and then piled on more stats as time went by, not following a plan. I don't mind it so much because I don't really plan on ever doing 3-star synths on her. HQ 2-star foods are as good as I or my FC will likely ever need, and it can handle those no problem now.
My Carpenter is another matter. I'm looking at the Craft/Control floors for the three star stuff, and I'm looking at the known stat caps on my CUL AF (caps should be the same across all AF sets, AFAIK) and going "How in the name OF THE GREAT ZOMBIE OVERLORD am I gonna reach these?!" I keep looking around the net and people say "just max all ur melds lol" which isn't very helpful, or they point to some guide from freaking 2013 that seems to be linked everywhere, and looks quite a bit like my CUL meld setup, which isnt even CLOSE. Or they share their super-1337 100% HQ 2-star macros with me without answering my question, which is nice but un-necessary. The whole thing is as clear as mud.
So please, someone break this down to me at a second-grader level. If I am a CRP, and I wanna craft 3-star items, what materia do I need to meld to what pieces in what order, to hit the 3-star stat floor? Don't give me options, don't give me spreadsheets. Just give me a simple, K.I.S.S. "Do this, ya big dummy!" list. Please?
