Someone posted a rotation that works in the behemoth firmament shout chat, which gets me (not fully pentameld)
to almost max each time, so I get full pts.

Dude who did that, if you are reading this, thank you so godsdamned much :D

You should be easily able to get full collectability with those stats even with no food/medicine and all NQ mats. Try the following rotation.

/ac Reflect <wait.3>
/ac Manipulation <wait.2>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/echo Macro #1 finished <se.1>

/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/echo Craft finished <se.1>

I'd wager something along the lines of "I shouldn't have to deal with this".

My friend shared with me this macro for the 80 Ishgard stuff - I told them the goal was 60 durability but only needed to be over 3500 for collectibility:

/ac Reflect <wait.3>
/ac Manipulation <wait.2>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>

It works fine for me;; even on one of my crafter's who doesn't have facet tools yet. Stats are 2238/2156/520, and this macro works with no food or syrup.

OP only has 400 CP to work with.

No reason one should not use materia it is so easy to get. Anyhow..
For macros, gears and rotations i refer to https://www.xivcraftingguide.com/505-essentials

Granted i do not believe he has rotations for lower CP, but food may boost it so you are close

Stick to recipes 10+ levels below you:

Code:

---

/ac "Trained Eye" <wait.3>
/ac "Name of the Elements" <wait.2>
/ac "Brand of the Elements" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of the Elements" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of the Elements" <wait.3>

What's to explain? Materia is ridiculously annoying.

Nothing says "fun" like overmelding at a 7% success rate!

I mean, it's fair to say he should endure it if he wants to be a successful crafter, but I can definitely understand the desire to want it gone. Or, at least, overhauled.
