Video Guide:Crafting Macro (power level crafting)

Here you guys go, this video will help you with crafting, macros and power leveling those professions!

Crafting Macros and Power-leveling those crafting classes

bump this up

This doesn't help anything... completely pointless video besides showing how to macro an action...

Macro-crafting to me is a slow, boring, and ineffective way to level a DoH job.

Quick-synth is far worse.

There are far better ways to level in the game. Sadly, people tend to look for methods which require the least effort, when they should be pursuing those which are the most effective.

It's one of many ways to power-craft in the game, I agree there are other ways, but when you need say 40X of one item to do those other leve methods this is a beneficial strategy to implement along with those multiple leve turn in quests.

While I do use macros to craft, mostly cause after a while of holding R2 my finger gets unhappy, I find using macros in the face of lag can be bad. You could wind up accidentally skipping steps, sometimes important steps like the durability extending steps. Thus, it's always a good idea to not just blindly use macros as a quick synth alternative. They should more be used to supplement normal crafting.

That is a very inefficient macro you're using there.
Don't use Master's Mend, use Great Strides instead

1. Inner Quiet
2. Great Strides
3. Steady Hand
4. Standard Touch
5. Great Strides
6. Standard Touch
7. Great Strides
8. Standard Touch
9. Careful Synthesis

This will give a much higher chance of HQ, which means more exp.

This was a tutorial video on how to create macros, while at the same time showing people the benefits of using macros over quicks synth. I'm sure you all have many ways to improve but that was not the intent of the video to have a master craft with xxx gear at xxx level for xxx craft.

the intent of the video seems to me to help facilitate lazy play, not better XP.

Since when is efficiency considered being lazy?

BUMP!!!
