Agree with AttacKat, but a few minor details,

If your accessories are not fully melded, switch to the new ilvl 55 accessories before melding them.

http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/ is the site to go when searching for BiS, and it will help you with your melds.

Focus on melding your accessories (and belt) because they can be shared with all your classes. You can easily do all of your 2* turn ins with nothing but HQ militia gear and partially melded accessories.

As for goals, the ilvl 75 is the crafting equivalent of progression, a lot of people have fun striving for completely maxed out crafts. If you are not really interested in that you can turn to making money or making a sweet personal home.

Macros are for when you massively over-gear your recipe and want to mass produce them. If you are barely meeting requirements, you can still HQ your items, you just need to use Haste Spam and some HQ ingredients.
