how to use crafter macros?

Someone should explain why it needs to connect to the servers in the middle of crafting, though. What a waste for a 100% solo job.

If the server doesn't process the results of each action (success/failure), it's far too easy to cheat. Just like teleport hacks. The client handles your movement, so hacks can send fake positions and the server just trusts the info and puts you there. If the client handled crafting results, there'd be a crafting hack that just sent the server "Yep, I HQed this" for every synth.

Tbh, I had crafting macro's. But that doesn't take into account the status of an item. with 40 durability items I use: Inner quiet > Steady hands > Manipulation> Hasty touch spam , And I repeat it every time steady hands are done. Not hard to make a macro of that BUT!... BUT!... I use tricks of the trade every time conditions is good. That might give me a chance to use this combo 4 times on a 40 durability item. On an excellent condition I always use my best touch ability (byregot's blessing once I get that).
In the end, these random conditions improved my crafting by a whole lot just by taking not of it. With a macro you forfeit these conditions of leave it to extreme chance that is is beneficial. Just do it the hard way. Trust me, you end up with better items/more exp per item.

Its actually pretty useful if macro is used right. I mean its not really a big loss if i know i can HQ 95% of my goods w/ macro during mass crafting on a lower tier stuffs. For example i mass produced a lot of malachites to use it for lvl +25 levequest. I play other game or watch anime while crafting/synthing at same time. Im not stupid enough usin a macro if i know i can barely pass through 80% HQ on a manual synthesis...

Other scenario is that culinary needs a lot of very low tier of ingredients liek salt on a mid-high tier of food.

Yeah macros are nice when you know for sure no matter what you do, it'll be HQ or the probability of NQ is very low. I used it when I made peridots earrings to level my goldsmith yesterday, grinded on Peridots HQ and with 2 HQ peridots, it doesn't matter if I HQ the mythril ingot so I just quick synth the mythril ingots and use 2 macros to HQ the peridots earrings. Must've crafted like 81 earrings in 1 night.
