Server Lag: The Killer of Macro Crafting

Yes I would like to know also, I live in Arizona and last night harvesting was a lag fest and I have all new up to date equipment and high speed net.

I use HQ Bouillabaise. Stats are (w/o food) Craftsmanship 397, Control 384, CP 352.

I use HQ dark vinegar in the recipe with the NQ Tomatoes. Probably don't need the HQ vinegar. If I use HQ Tomatoes, I don't need food, which is great for when I don't want to craft for 30 mins straight (or to craft up to the next multiple of 10 relish once my food wears off).

I blame atma, alexandrite, loot rolls, fate timers, hunt spawns, duty roulette, facepulls AND now personal housing.

(boy that list is growing)

Unfortunately macros have to deal with both local and server lag. If you're getting these errors regularly, your options are limited: add extra seconds to the wait commands, or suffer through the manual crafting process. You could also try separating the macros into various sections so that if one line doesn't go off, you're not screwed for the whole thing.

So one macro would be the starter actions: comfort zone, inner quiet, steady hand I/II, manipulation (or however you setup for the next part).
Then the second is the quality actions: basic/hasty touches
Some maintenance actions like an extra SHI/II, maybe a standard touch, waste not, piece by piece
Then the quality finisher actions: ingenuity I/II, great strides, innovation, byregot's
And finally the craft enders: standard synths or careful I/II synths

You can also run a particularly sensitive section manually (like the maintenance section) just to make sure. However, if you're getting this far, I'd really recommend just getting used to the manual rotations. I did 60 HQ Silver Brocades for my glasses and WVR needle manually and managed to keep my sanity in-tact (I think, but I can never be too sure >_> ). I've just about got the supplies for 100 more brocades, so I'll see how that goes.

I've been experiencing some crazy amounts of lag lately. I can't even participate in any content related to the duty finding. I want to continue collecting tome stones but this lag is making it tough to play.
