Stormblood 3* Crafting Macros for the Lazy Crafter

[EmmaVirgin]

awesome work but did you ever thought about that the price terrorism on the board is getting more worse with threads like this? ^^

for myself i dont care cuz i have enough gil but sometimes if i decide to sell 1 or 2 350 weapons its hard enough to sell them even without the macrobots.

on moogle i have to check the price all 5-10 minutes or a few others allready killed it.

i hope they change some things: levelquest - only with own signature , macros not possible for crafting.

Well... firstly, that is not exactly a concern for people who enjoy crafting more than anything else...

Secondly, the thought of "keeping it to yourself, so you have an advantage" only works for a very short period of time when a new difficult starred item is released anyway. These i350 gear/weapon recipes are out long enough for saturation of products on the market. Releasing macros like these is not going to have any further impact on market saturation imo.

i hope they change some things: levelquest - only with own signature , macros not possible for crafting.

This is currently the case for Collectables... But I am just bored by the low difficulty of Collectables. Back then, getting a master recipes required only a small amount of a very difficult untradable item to make. Now, it's just very boring but massive scrip grind... Sometimes, I see people talking about themselves "I have all master books! I'm a true master of crafting!"... and all I could visualize was someone who grabbed a macro from the web, and repeatedly grind scrips... -___-'

I giggled when I read your post <3 You're 100% accurate though. Posting easy macro recipes can damage hard work early crafters do for their own macros and market setup. This is the exact reason I don't post my solutions until later in a patch. While I don't need the extra money its not fair to others working hard early in patches. It also gives me time to get them working extremely well and burn out any problems.

None the less I do concur with your frustration on pricing and the current market. There are entirely too many people floundering for the same sales right now in most markets. And some people spastically change prices. I remind myself that I can't have all the sales, and just update periodically to match the bottom price. I've also recently gone out of the way to name my retainers so they are instantly recognizable to people who know me. I have many FC members, ex FC members, and friends who happily buy my goods both from the marketboard and do custom orders. It helps nudge sales so it might be something to try.

Especially when you have adorable names like Emmy Shortcake <3

As Camie promotes, I'm happiest when promoting others learning to craft and being able to enjoy the crafting system. Unfortunately this also means teaching people that crafting can be a money trap if you don't invest well beyond your initial investment. Being able to craft the newest goods is not the same as work required to profit making goods... and many people in crafting don't realize that until they hit the pitfalls you are noting Emmy!
