Crafting the Ala Mhigan Set

Hey there,

I'm the type of player who has had all crafters maxed for quite a while, yet never really took crafting to the next level. I don't utilize macros and basically struggle when it comes to breaking any new statistical-cap -- the present being transcending from Serge/Zelle gear to Mhigan without pestering other crafters to do it for me.

Current Stats (No Food/Tea):
Craftsmanship: 1494
Control: 1273
CP: 402

I've thrown together a bunch of Mhigan Fiber (NQ), enough to create Mhigan items for Body, Legs and Head - which involves my good ole Specialist Weaver. All materials (excluding the Materia III's, Fiber, and one TGHide) are HQ. I've started investigating into macros seeing as people have seemingly sussed out what the flavour is (I've been a Hasty/Rapid gamble-crafter since day 1 and never really tried other methods), but the macros I've noticed are mostly all centric to higher base-CP values and come with all kinds of jargon to decode. So, I'm basically looking for help in figuring out what would be required to turn what I have into HQ Mhigan pieces. Just a few should help tremendously, but getting there is the challenge.

Here's a screenshot of relevant info.

Advanced appreciation for any input!

PS. A list of the current BiS cross-class abilities would also be handy. As you can see, I've got a very out-dated selection as part of the whole Hasty/Rabid gamble-crafting, which works fine for standard recipes, not so much for anything new/relevant.

My advice would be to aim for 466 CP as a minimum pre food to utilise a majority, if not all generic rotations posted on the web. Although if your budget doesn't permit then this video below may be of some serious use (provided you can hear the audio)

As the others have highlighted here crafting things like this take a combination of research, stat caps, and macros. Very few people manually craft HQ items or teach others how to manually HQ items. Its just way too much work. The other problem is that patient touch is too efficient but again relatively difficult to use in a manual rotation.

I would read Cammie's guide and then ask more specific questions: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Caimie-Tsukino

I made my own Ala Mhigan gear because I'm obsessed with MY NAME ON MY GEAR

Prior to doing it, I completed my right side/belt melds because I knew I wasn't going to replace those, so if you haven't, I'd either finish melding them or get close to it.

You'll need high quality materials, which depending on whether or not you have gatherers as well (or the patience) can be fairly cheap but time consuming or expensive from buying off the MB. Fibers, at least I believe, are pretty much required to reliably HQ Ala Mhigan gear at lower stat levels.

I used my specialists to craft the items. I don't like MaMa, but if you can handle it, there's a 100% rotation with low stat caps you can use without being a specialist. The rotation I used is specialist only with higher stat requirements, but much quicker. I'm too stupid to come up with a rotation from scratch, so I find others and then try to work on them manually, as my connection is too unstable to reliably macro craft. You may meet the stat requirements for the specialist rotation, if you can reach 525 CP.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...70_specialist/

You will need Byregot's Blessing (CRP), Innovation (GSM), Piece by Piece (ARM), Steady Hand II (CUL), Ingenuity II (BSM), and Comfort Zone (ALC). These are the skills I see being used in every rotation. Depending on your CP you may need to throw in Careful Synthesis II (you can just use III instead if you have the extra CP for it) and Ingenuity (BSM). And of course, Maker's Mark and Flawless Synthesis (GSM) if you're using a MaMa rotation. You can actually forego Tricks of the Trade (blasphemy) these days as most rotations around are 100% with no RNG provided you meet the stats/initial quality requirements.

I am definitely one of the few then! Until today, I am still teaching people in the game how to manual craft HQ items without BiS :P

Its what makes you special Caimie <3

I manually crafted a few of the Ala Mhigan by hand but it was sooooo boring. So I immediately switched to the also boring macros, but somewhat more efficient. I used to love teaching people how to do manual rotations, but Stormblood crafting has sucked the fun out of manual rotations.

Well then, let's round it down and remove some variables. I have/had all my gear melded (and usually overmelded with at least 2-4 extra) but not with a whole tonne of +CP, hence I had about 405 when most guides are asking for 450-475+. didn't research much at the time seeing as I never really pushed into ** / *** recipe's even in older content, and I highly doubt tea+food alone is providing +50-75 CP.

As an experiment I invested in a fully augmented Weaver set (even though it will be replaced) - this gives me much higher base stats but even less CP.
CFT: 1539 (was 1494)
CON: 1374 (was 1273)
CP: 390 (was 402 - melds)

I will probably take the lazy way and have a friend craft the three initial Mhigan pieces for me (Head, Body, Legs), but after that I'll be looking to handle the rest myself. I suppose it's safe to assume you won't do very well vs Mhigan with above stats so I just have to wait.

I've found 462 base CP is the minimum I could get away with and comfortably craft anything in the game HQ. I'd aim to get as close to that as you can, or better. After that 1520 base craftmanship and rest to control is a good aim later on, but you can craft Ala Mhigan with much lower. You really want that CP, redo your melds if necessary, particularly on accessories, even if you lose other stats.

Camie's guide has some excellent rotations. I'd make your first Ala Mhigan pieces with Makers Mark. https://i.imgur.com/GRTG5Wy.png
Don't let the CP requirement daunt you, I used this back in the day with lower CP. Take every Tricks of the Trade you can during the Flawless Synth spam. You can cut both Ingenuity I's during the quality phase (but never cut Ingenuity II) and the Innovation in the finisher and significantly cut CP requirements but still finish HQ with some HQ materials. Practice on a Fiber or Snail Oil first to get a feel for it.

I'd avoid all Augmented scrip gear, except maybe tools, for the reason that you can't meld it. Again, you really want as much CP as you can get.

Cheers all for the input.

Problem is, when melding or over-melding, most items have already hit the CP cap, to which I'd probably gain about 5-8 CP max from here. I had all the craftable (HQ) 70 gear (OM'd) and all augmented tools, yet (even now after re-doing most of the melds to incorporate CP as much as possible), I'm still sitting on 436 CP with the standard set and 420 with the Augmented Weaver set, give or take a maximum of 10 extra by really pushing it hard for stray +1-3's. Below are Weaver (specialist - augmented) and Smith (specialist - omelded standard). Any CP materia put on from here will be 1's or 3's. Valuable, surely, but see below comment.

https://i.imgur.com/YNHt5ac.jpg

The stats overall are clearly better with augmented (non-CP at least, which is lower) and obviously I can't meld those to make up that difference, but in neither case does it seem like I can punch up the 450-475 CP (Pre-Food) from most guides. Either I've done something wrong or I am missing something. I can only assume most guides are done from the viewpoint of already having Mhigan gear equipped, which I assume can meet those numbers.

Is someone more adept at the scripts/macros able to figure if the above could craft HQ Mhigan? My brain melts whenever I get to that side of things. I've dabbled with the test-scripts but not enough to be super specific with it, and I don't have a head for what to actually aim for in X or Y to bypass any inaccuracies.

Ala Mhigan gear isn't going to increase your CP cap much, they have basically the same CP cap as the previous tier, but with 1 extra CP per non-body pieces for a total of +4 more CP. If you're missing that much CP, you haven't melded your accessories fully. +1-3 CP lost per piece might not seem like much but when you're missing that much on every piece of gear, it adds up to a lot of lost CP. When melding, capping CP on the gear should be your number 1 priority. Yes, even when it only takes +2 CP. You may find out later when you have a solid rotation that you can shave off CP somewhere, and then you can remove, say, the +1 CP on the body and replace it with something more useful, but for now, CP CP CP.

I'm aware - it's been mentioned in previous posts.

The point I'm making is that, when doing research, most guides keep throwing up CP numbers that I simply won't reach. All above gear has reached a point where all that can be gained is 0-3 CP each, for what will amount to about +10'ish CP total, with base CP of 420 (aug) / 436 (norm/OM) for a potential max'ish of just slightly under 450 at best. A large number of guides I have seen refer to 450 base (great, I'm nearly there with the OM set I have), yet they recommend 475 (before food). Again, I re-did the melds to remove all the Con/CManship where I could fit extra CP in its stead, so I can tell I am never going to reach that amount.

There is every chance I've done something wrong or mis-read something somewhere - but for now it's just looking like something else.

EDIT: Just done a proper check. If I push the 4th/5th melds for all above mentioned +CP's, I'll gain +29 CP (+420/436) landing at 449 (A) vs 465 (O), 10 short of the 475, but I can safely assume this is for higher tier recipe's primarily crafted via Ala Mhigan gear.

Scratch the above - figured out a way to remedy it.

Question now becomes - what is really required (statistically) to reliably craft HQ Mhigan gear and the whole macro side of things. For now I'll just say thanks for the replies and that I'll have to go back to guide-checks. Will come back if anything crops up or if more tips will come in handy for X or Y.

Once you have the CP, it's just a matter of getting as much starting quality as you can to feel comfortable HQ'ing. You said you have NQ fibers, and you really want HQ fibers for these unless you know you have the stats to forego them. The fact is, the Ala Mhigan gear is the hardest stuff in the game to HQ right now by a large margin, even though it is not 3-star. No matter how high your stats are, it's going to be tough to HQ, even in Ala Mhigan gear itself. For low stats the Maker's Mark rotations are typically the best, even if they are extremely tedious to do.

You can definitely manage with Makers Mark (see my last post on how to modify it for your stats). I've done it myself with similar CP on my first pieces. Camie's Advanced guide has an indepth step by step on how to use a Makers Mark Rotation. Since Makers Mark requires far less stats, you should still aim to meld all the CP you can at the moment.

You can't macro craft HQ Ala Mhigan with your CP as far as I can see without some rng. Realistic minimum stats would be 1520 craftmanship, 1400 control, 461 CP.

1380 1318 is a reliable amount of control for manual crafting the special 2 star recipes from pure NQ mats provided you have sufficient CP. With you being a specialist, you can certainly add in Whistle While You Work (optional) into your rotation to further gain more CP. Otherwise, the Trick of Trades that you take during the stream of Flawless Syn during Maker's Mark should still give you sufficient CP. If you're using some HQ mats for a final product, you can sit on your current stats, and it's already quite reliable as long as you're manually using the Maker's Mark rotation.

Macro-crafting will require nearly max-melded gear set. The stronger the stats, the more reliable it is going to be. You can still macro craft with less stats, but you will resort to more RNG in your macro rotation.

Hi RopeDrink,
I did some testing and you can craft your Ala Mhigan set in your current set up if you push your CP to 449 and you use a manual rotation, you will not be able to go from 0 to 100% and you will need a couple of HQ Mats but it is doable.

Here's a sample run of Caimie's Manual MaMa rotation(with your stats) using HQ Tempura Platter and HQ Cunning Craftman's Tea:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psmlidhyf9.png

This is assuming you get 4 Tricks during the FS phase if you get more than that you could push more quality.
Check condition on the Innovation step, if Excellent use Miracle then Innovation, Strides, Brow and finish the synth, if not excellent just follow the rotation. Also if you have bad luck with FS you may want to replace those Hasty Touches II with Hasty Touch so you have the CP for a Careful Synthesis III at the end.

And a link to Caimie's guide:
http://ffxivrealm.com/guides/ff14-ad...e-tsukino.194/
The rotation i used is on chapter 60 (It's amazing! I know because i used it myself to craft my Ala Mhigan gear)

As for Macro Crafting you won't be able to unless you have a fully melded Ala Mhigan set and even then you will still need a couple of HQ mats as these crafts are still difficult, actually harder than 3 stars if you ask me.

Good luck!

Nothing amazing. But at least it works nicely for a lot of people who don't have max stats. And it's a good starting rotation if someone is making these recipes for the first time since it's quite reliable. The rotation can be further refined, but even as it is right now it's quite sufficient. :)

It looks like the last two Prudent can swap places with two Hasties inside the first Ingen1. This will ensure that the touches under Ingen1 are 100% fidelity. With this concept, you can even swap another two prudent in the first phase into the Ingen1 phase. But if you use too many Hasties too early, it would be risking RNG without the need since you might actually get more ToTs along the way to replace Hasties with Prudent/BasicT. Personally, I like to include 1 Hasty or Hasty II early in the first touching phase just to conserve a little CP for Prudents inside Ingen1 later.

Speaking of Hasties too early, I threw together this which can run on 442 base CP (assuming the 4 tricks during flawless phase) and pushes a little extra quality.

https://i.imgur.com/BYQPBm7.jpg

For every tricks over 4 in the flawless phase you can turn a Hasty into a Precise. If you net a spare Tricks after the Hasty phase you can turn the last Hasty into a Precise. Fairly sure that can be improved but just throwing it up there incase it contributes any ideas.

I have yet to find a rotation for Ala Mhigan that doesn't use the combination of Maker's Mark, Flawless Synthesis, Manipulation II and Comfort Zone like those have used above. However once you get one piece crafted (I usually start with the chest) I would say the hardest part is over :) Even with all Ala Mhigan crafted gear and tools I still use Maker's Mark/Flawless Synthesis to create new Ala Mhigan stuff...tho I do wonder if there is an alternative now I have around 1500/1500/465 stats. IMO I still consider Ala Mhigan gear the most difficult to craft even over the new 3 star stuff.

Tayler has a thread with some very nice macros for the special 2 star recipes. Below is a modified version of mine:
https://i.imgur.com/LVdw1bR.png
These things are fully macro-able without Maker's Mark. But you just don't get very much quality out of the macros.
You need to use two HQ mats, and it'll bring the HQ rate to >90%.

Oh thanks Caimie, I can certainly give that a try. Personally I wouldn't actually macro anything 2 or 3 star, but would use the rotations, that and I always have at least 50% HQ materials so that shouldn't be a problem. Just good to have an alternative to the many steps of using Maker's Mark.

Hey folks, I kinda skipped out since my last post. Since then I've gotten the Ala Mhigan set, though my CP is still sitting at 450 (no buffs), so I'm hoping to figure out some macros for the higher recipes. I wager the one that Liam mentioned is close to what I need (don't have the CP for streamlined stuff). Any attempt to look for macros still involves "YOU NEED 475-500+ CP BASE" which I've given up trying to reach as I'm not swimming in gil or red scrips to replace my melds (even though most of them are overmelded to CP cap).

Thus far (as a specialist) I'm at:
CFT 1505 - CON 1450 - CP 450

Any suggestions/recommendations? Preferably without HQ Temp or CP-Tea (I have NQ Temp from Kugane and HQ/NQ non-CP tea).

It you're talking about 3 star recipes, Katlyna's thread is your savior, as they require very minimal stats despite the RNG:

500 base CP seems rather unreasonably high... is that even possible? I have 470-ish base CP.

Not so much 3-Star stuff, primarily just for ease of 2-Star bits and pieces. Problem with above example is it sticks to the 473 CP base concept, so I'd end up having to butcher it (and have no idea how much would be lost/gained by the CON/CFT differences). In short, any CP efficient examples rather than ones that assume you have 473 CP - I don't have that, nor the experience (or spare materials) to just 'wing it'.

Example, I'd be throwing together things such as Silvergrace / Rhea Cloth (easy), Mhig-Fiber, maybe even the Mhigan Gatherer Set if the urge takes me, but nothing too drastic.

If you're talking about the normal 2 star (3543 Difficulty, 15837 Quality, 70 Durab), they were long resolved. You should have no problem macroing them.

If you're talking about the special 2 star (6377 Difficulty, 28506 Quality, 70 Durab), a.k.a. ala mhigan crafting gear i320 / snailfish oil / ala mhigan tools i325, these are actually harder than 3 star stuff.
That's why even with the existing macros of utilizing >470 CP, one still needs some HQ mats to safely HQ them. You can try to conserve CP by removing Innovation, or removing 1 Prudent Touch from the macro. It will reduce the power of the macro, but it will still work. Otherwise, I recommend you just manual craft these items with Maker's Mark. Then you have plenty of power to do it from zero HQ mats. After all, these are mostly final product. It's safer to do it manually. If this is Snailfish Oil, then you dont need it HQ anyway for the final product to go HQ.

I'd recommend aiming for another 12 base CP if possible. Your other stats are fine, you could even sacrifice a bit of control if necessary, I only have 1400 myself. That would give you access to reliable macro's for pretty much any endgame craft.

I'd also recommend HQ Temp/CP Tea for the more difficult crafts like Ala Mhigan gear. The materials aren't too bad to gather and it's very much worthwhile in the long run.

If I remember right, 476 base is the max possible.

Ugh, I just completed my 290 set last night and melded what materia I had. I am at 427 CP, and shy of the 1320,1220 to craft Ala Mhigan. I have some warriors stew I was going to use but then I wouldn't get the extra CP as all the macros recommend. I was thinking I am going to force myself to HQ most if not all of the base ingredients to craft the Ala Mhigan body parts until I can get high enough. I can safely HQ Zelkova logs and the 290 set without any HQ mats. So I am hoping if I can HQ the base ingredients for Ala Mhigan I can get enough quality to HQ the first couple of pieces.

This is my hope at least.

Always focus on maxing your CP. CP is king and allows you to have freedom to fix an unlucky set of actions.

If you can HQ the base materials like Ala Mhigan Fibre then you are nearly there for HQ on the clothing since it has the same requirements. Check your gathering stats and see if you meet the requirements to gather HQ Spring Water and Azim Cotton. I remember having to overmeld as much perception into my 290 gathering gear as possible along with using food at first. The method posted on the forums that uses Markers Mark, Flawless Synthesis, Manipulation II and Comfort Zone doesn't require max CP so that would be your best method I think. In fact I still use it even with full Ala Mhigan gear but then I don't have max 476 CP (I have 467) that most of the rotations use either.

I just got my gathering to 1200 perception so I can now HQ Paladium Ore and the other items. I knew I was going to have to HQ the Base Ingredients.

Thanks, but again, they're all for max-CP. I'm looking to tone them down or even resort to MaMa if I have to. I only have a few bits to craft so I really don't want to have to re-shuffle my over-melds yet again for the sake of a few mats and a handful of wearables. I had more than enough gear/stats for everything and anything else I was primarily crafting, so it's not even for luxury sake really.

It sounds like you've gotten the answer to your original question which is that you need more CP. You just don't like the answer. If I'm doing a piece of Ala Mhigan gear by hand [from all NQ mats] and I do not have around 500 CP after the Maker's Mark phase then I get very concerned that I will not hit 100% HQ by the end. This is why I have melded 468 CP, and that I use a macro and 8000 starting mats quality, and Tempura HQ and Cunning Tea. This removes the RNG aspect which is the goal of repeatable HQ crafting.

Assuming your stats are the same as you posted earlier, this is the best you can do without RNG or MaMa:

http://oi68.tinypic.com/o7o8c7.jpg

This requires HQ Tempura, HQ Tea and all possible materials must be HQ. No way around that. But it will HQ Ala Mhigan with your stats.

MaMa is still your best option for power, as I mentioned before you can omit the Ingenuity I's in the quality phases and even the Innovation in the finisher if necessary to complete the craft with your current CP. Again however, you will definitely want HQ Tempura and HQ Tea.

No better answers than that and the ones you've been given. Ala Mhigan gear is currently the most difficult craft in the game. Good luck :)

Not a problem. Just tone it down according to your own CP amounts then! Easy, right?
Yeah, go use MaMa too! I always encourage people to start with MaMa rotations and craft stuff manually the first time.

Macros = massively crafting something = "I got so much stats that I can use the easy way to do things quickly"

Obviously, you're not loaded with stats, so macro things with a less powerful rotation + more HQ mats, or don't macro at all - use MaMa and manual-craft. Problem resolved! :)
