Hey there,
I am curious if anyone knows of any good crafting macros that can be done with these jobs and levels for 2 star NQ mats to HQ:
WVR: 53
CRP: 50
ALC: 50
GSM: 31
LTW: 30
BSM: 25
ARM: 20
CUL: 15
Specifically I am trying to craft Silver Brocade. I currently have w/ food:
Craftmanship: 415
Control: 364
CP:350
Any help with this would be awesome thanks!
EDIT: Changed 3 star to 2 star.
Hm, you're fairly hard pressed to reliably hit 100% HQ with NQ mats as a 53 weaver. With your stats, I can't push more than about 3800 quality. Maybe someone else can spot something I might be missing though.
Also Silver Brocade is the 2 star. If you're looking for Intricate Silver Brocade, you simply won't HQ that from NQ materials yet.
I appreciate your response! I noticed a few videos on YouTube with similar stats, all capped at level 50, and they reliably hit HQ on 3 star recipes. I am just missing Piece by Piece unfortunately(also Steady Hand II but since I have Steady Hand I, I was just gonna do with out II and take the hit of less reliability). So I was just curious of a macro that could get me as close as possible I suppose.
I'm not sure about reliable, but if you have an example video I could have a look.
Intricate Silver Brocade was one of the most difficult crafts in the game, more so than regular 3 stars at that level too. Most from what I know make use of Hasty Touch and Tricks of the Trade, meaning you adapt your rotation as you go. Some even Reclaimed and tried again if they had bad rng. That's something you're much better off not macro'ing. You'll also definitely need Piece by Piece. You do have the advantage however that you won't require Ingenuity since you outlevel the recipe.
As for the 2 star Silver Brocade, you'll need Hasty Touch too. I can give you a macro that will 100% HQ from NQ mats but might fail sometimes, or a macro that requires some HQ mats but shouldn't ever fail.
Also I'd recommend http://ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net/#/simulator if you want to test out rotations for yourself.
Best crafting guide ever.

That was SUPER cool and VERY helpful! Thanks a ton!
The macro I used 5 years ago was:
Relish Macro1 (13 lines):
/ac "Comfort Zone" <wait.2>
/ac "Inner Quiet" <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand" <wait.2>
/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Innovation"
Relish Macro2 (6 lines):
/ac "Ingenuity II" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II"
It was too long ago, so I can't remember the details. I think I used some HQ mats to help, but the macro gave me pretty much 100% HQ rate even with my prehistoric stats at that time. Right now, with more Craft/Control/CP, it shouldn't be too difficult.
However, you do need Ingenuity II and Innovation, which you currently don't have yet.
Tried that one on the sim Camie and it gives 2961/5257 quality. He's able to skip Ingenuity since he outlevels the craft too. This is the best I've had so far at 3759.
