So I tried the new crafting system...

[Gula]

Read tooltips, experiment and dont be afraid to mess up, make a macro and netflix on your 2nd screen if applicable.

I love this new system to heck.

Talking on crafting, is there a website that holds ideal macros at tiers of stats? For example I can easily find macros for fancy crafters, but not so sure about those with okay gear just wanting to hit the bare minimum collectability lol.

I want to scrape by on a macro with meh gear, is there a macro for that? :P

You can create a macro on the site linked above, it'll allow you to put in your current stats (or the base stats you want) and you can add actions to a rotation and see that you finish the craft successfully. Then export it as a macro and it'll go into your clipboard. It's super handy!

Manipulation 1 being gone hurts... A lot of my 40 durability order was built around the way it worked... I never used manipulation 2 which is what manipulation is now... So far I've only done the delivery quests and was able to figure it out for higher durability... But it just feels different. I would hate to level from 0 in new system. I was also a big fan 0 CP Cost of careful synthesis 2 and was shocked to find it uses CP now. Sad times

I saw that and it looked pretty neat but I wasn't sure how reliable it was, and if there were any resources of like someone who just library-ed up the results lol. Sorry for doing a "let me google that for you moment" but crafting as someone who hardly crafts (I do beast tribe quests and that's about it XD) I was like O_O SOMEONE TAKE THE WHEEL.

I'll give that link a much deeper look now, hopefully I can figure out something nice for my chocobo turd gear .

Thank you~

Master's Mend now uses the same CP as Manipulation did, so there's much less reason for it to exist. Basic Synthesis now upgrades to what Careful Synthesis II used to be, so again, there's no reason for it to exist. Essentially, we didn't lose Careful II. It's still there, as a trait.
