I created a macro to craft the new 70 durability 3 star items using stats you don't have to completely break the bank for with melds. The melds I use are https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1C6FD which use rank VIII materia in the guaranteed slots but only uses rank IV or lower in the overmeld slots. This is significantly cheaper than trying to overmeld rank VII or VIII materia. Still not cheap, but cheaper than what I've seen so far. Also works with no tea and HQ Matcha food (cheapest high CP food option).
This uses 16 rank VIII materia (about 65k each on my server, so 1 million total for those)
Then for the rank IVs, you need 11 in the first slot at 58% chance (on average, you need 19 for this), 11 in the 2nd overmeld slot at 32% chance (34 more), 11 in the 3rd overmeld slot at 20% chance (55 more), and 6 in the 4th overmeld slot at 12% (92 more). This comes out to an average of 200 rank IVs at an average price of under 3k on my server or about 600k.
The tools only use a guaranteed rank VI each (at 5k each). All 8 sets is 16 materia at total cost of 80k.
This puts the total melding cost at 1.7 million. Plus, when you move on to the next set of gear, you'll be able to retrieve about 600k worth of materia back out, so this only really costs you about 1.1 million.
Base stats from gear: 2496/2258/541
Base stats after HQ Matcha: 2496/2319/597
This will 100% HQ will all NQ mats and has the "Tricks of the Trade" to poor proof it.
