Macro progression & choices

[cgbspender]

For the record, the 13-steps macro indicated as "Level 60/70 Durability macros - Fast " works very well for recipes up to level 59 (perfect for draconians) with 980/970 (No food needed) With 988 craftsmanship, progress ends at 933/919. I haven't done any extensive tests to determine the breakpoint yet.

I use it specifically for draconians. For other classes, I tend to use a 15-step macro that is more easily cross-class'able.

It shocks me everytime to see Ing2 > Brand one-shot the progress, such a good feeling.

For 35 durability level 60, I've been using the following. It's not the "best" in regards to quality (need 1032 control for 100%), but it is fairly fast (14 steps) and can be reduced to 13 steps by removing Innovation and upgrade one of the previous touches with the CP you save that way.

Scale Glue is a level 59 item but you may prefer this macro as it requires less Craftsmanship & Control while resulting in better quality:



Can change "Master's Mend" for "Manipulation" if needed but if you have the CP I'd suggest sticking with "Master's Mend" as it's not a cross class skill.

You could add a "Byregot's Brow" to bait Excellent procs after "Great Strides" too but you know this, just saying for anyone else who may not know.

If you feel you want a 13 step, I'd suggest removing the first innovation but I don't think it's worth doing, removing an innovation from this macro would still be better than removing & upgrading a touch in the macro you posted.
