Yamashi Melding Strategy

Whilst I did try my best not to, this melding strategy unfortunately includes some Grade 6 overmelds. My melding strategy prioritises Perception over Gathering over GP, so if you aren't satisfied with the way I list it, I will also post the meld caps so that you are able to come up with a strategy that works for you. Please also check the prices of materias on your server before doing overmelds. You can easily obtain Grade 6 materias now for 1500 Yellow Gatherer Scrips, and the usual 5s and 4s are still available for the same price from Red Scrips. 3s and below can also be obtained by doing daily Ixal quests and trading in the Ixali Oaknots you get as a reward.

Tools: Just throw a Guile 6 in both of these for now. Until we know the requirements for new nodes, it seems pointless melding these any further.

Hat: Guile 6, Guile 6, Guerdon 6, Guile 5, Guile 5
(Misses 2 Gathering and 7 GP)

Top: Guile 6, Guerdon 6, Guerdon 6, Guile 5, Guerdon 5
(Misses 9 Gathering and 1 GP)

Gloves: Guerdon 6, Guerdon 6, Guile 5, Guile 5, Guerdon 5
(misses 1 GP. Some materias won't go on fully here, but it is sadly necessary to cap those stats)

Belt: Guerdon 6, Grasp 6, Guile 5, Guile 1, Guerdon 1
(Fully capped)

Pants: Guerdon 6, Guerdon 5, Guile 1, Grasp 1
(Yes, fully capped in four melds. Believe it.)

Boots: Guile 6, Grasp 6, Guile 5, Guerdon 1
(Again, fully capped in only four melds xD)

Ears/Neck/Wrist: Grasp 6, Guile 5, Guile 5, Guerdon 5, Guerdon 5
(Misses 5 GP. Caps Gathering/Perception. The second 5s of each will only have 7/10 go on, so you can use 4s instead if you don't mind skipping 1 Gathering/Perception)

Rings: Grasp 5, Guile 5, Guile 5, Guerdon 5, Guerdon 5
(These are fully capped. Again, the second 5s will only have 7/10 go on, so you can use 4s instead if you wish)

TOTAL STATS AFTER MELDS: 1629 Gathering, 1627 Perception and 761 GP

MELD CAPS

Primary Tool: +89 Gathering, +51 Perception, +7 GP
Secondary Tool: +45 Gathering, +79 Perception, +6 GP
Hat: +17 Gathering, +49 Perception, +7 GP
Top: +49 Gathering, +25 Perception, +1 GP
Gloves: +38 Gathering, +17 Perception, +1 GP

Boots: +3 Gathering, +25 Perception, +7 GP
Ears/Neck/Wrist: +17 Gathering, +17 Perception, +13 GP

Happy melding, and as always, good luck with those overmelds! ^^
