Elasia's Mass Manufacturing 3 Star HQ Macros

[Cocolai]

Played around with your macros a bit, and found out they work wonderfully on both the 4-star recipe book turn ins, as well as the 4 star synths themselves. Requires maxed out melds, of course. I went with Con4, Craft3, Craft3, Craft3, CP3 on my offhand for reference.

For the recipe book items, first macro just needs to have one of the Hasty Touches replaced with Piece by Piece. Other than that, I check the number of IQ stacks after step 2, and finish the craft manually. The finisher is the same as well, but I look at the condition and if it isn't Good or Excellent, I use reclaim and try again.

This is the edited first macro I use:

/ac "Comfort Zone" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Inner Quiet" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Piece by Piece" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Piece by Piece" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Piece by Piece" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Master's Mend II" <me> <wait.3>
/echo #2 NOW ##

For the actual 4-star synths themselves, you can remove Ingenuity 2, since 3 PbP and 3 CS2 will finish the craft. Your 3rd step macros can all remove it and save on CP, letting you have a bit more room to play around with different abilities.

Other than that, also wanted to mention that I love your macros and have been using them for months now.

The macros won't work for me, I run out of durability before I can finish. All jobs 50, Crafts 446 Control 402 CP 392 about to punch my monitor

You are trying to use them on an item that has different stats from normal 3 stars, is why.

u are trying to craft 3 star 801 durability instead of 3 star 445, so u will fail in progress.

Also... This rotation is almost a year old now, with the better gear we have, it may be outdated.
Another thing, if you're trying to make Manual II tokens, you're gonna have to learn to craft manually, there's no easy way to do the manual II tokens. It's one of the biggest hurdle you will face in going to 4 star crafting and that's where many people actually give up after losing dozens of FC3s.

My suggestion is, study the manual rotations, and Byregot's baiting. Baiting is the biggest factor for the tokens imo, and don't be afraid to reclaim, getting an nq token is almost useless.. Which, looking at your stats, you already have a supra, so unless you have desynth, it WILL be completely worthless.

So basically I wasted my time getting all DoH to 50 and spent countless gils just to get wall stomped on a 801 difficulty, how is this fun for a game.

You might want to reconsider what your crafting for, then. Either you find crafting enjoyable/a goal, in which case it should be a welcome challenge before you are able to craft all.

Or you see it as a way to make items/produce gil. In which case, well you already can.


There is no ''must be a 4* crafter or bust'', in this game.

If your goal was to make money by 4 star crafting, then most likely yes. It's still worth doing though for the sake of convenience and knowing that you've accomplished what a majority of crafters give up on.
4 star crafting can still make money, but you'll be faced with a lot of competition and slow sales, you can make your money making other things with a consumable nature.

you're not getting wall stomped, it's not like anybody else had countless amount of gil to throw at the problem.. I wouldn't tackle it when you have less than 2million gil though. Expect each manual to cost about half a million gil if you do so without failure.

Wall stomped because you finally need to craft something manually without using someone elses macro's?
