100% HQ macros with NQ mats

[Aikaal]

Take it with a grain of salt. I'm not an expert on theorycraft for crafting but I do like macros and I did get some done. They work for the new 2 star items.

2547 control requires BiS gear with a lot of control melds. I'm basically overmelded to the top minus weapon/off-hand. I'm using Blood Bouillabaisse. Specialist not required. Bad RNG on poor procs can screw you over.

Thanks to Liam_Harper from OF, he helped me on the 35 Durability macro.

Annnnd this is why Yoshida will be making easily HQ’able macros and rotations require procs in 5.2.

I think you're going to be very disappointed when 5.2 comes...

Probably...but who knows, maybe vet crafters will like it. We don’t have enough info yet.

True we can only speculate at this juncture. I just expect the extent of "procs" in crafting will basically be along the lines of needing to take advantage of good/excellent procs (which means you cant macro it).

[Buuhuu]

Huhu,

I also like macros a lot, but I don't like expensive overmelds, therefore I always try to squeeze as much quality out of my stats as possible.

I didn't bother too much with the 35er items, as the final item is the one that needs to be HQ. (saves a lot of time, not focussing on HQing those^^)

I found this to be the best I could do:

It just needs

Craftsmanship: 2162
Control: 2380 (to be exactly on the 100%, more is always better, or lower with one 1 HQ item)
CP: 597

/ac Reflect <wait.3>
/ac Manipulation <wait.2>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/echo Macro #1 finished <se.2>

/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac Observe <wait.3>
/ac "Focused Synthesis" <wait.3>
/echo Craft finished <se.2>

Interestingly, I think there is really less variation now, after the change. During experimenting, I always found myself to come to almost the same rotation with one or two steps difference, but nothing crucial.
It's good I suppose, cause less clutter, but also less exciting, as there aren't that many skills to mess around with anymore xd

Here's mine. I have 2407 craft and 2368 control with 607 CP after food. Might re-meld for a bit more control.
Macro 1:
/ac "Reflect" <wait.3>
/ac "Manipulation" <wait.2>
/ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>

/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch"<wait.3>
/ac "Master's Mend" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/echo <se.3>

Macro 2:
/ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.3>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>

Surely someone must have figured out something better?
I made a macro today which requires much less stats.

For OLD 2 star 35 durab items with 4777 difficulty

Final stats requirement:
2206 craft
2162 control
588 CP

Basic stats:
2206 craft
2131 control
538 CP
+ use HQ Seafood Stew (+31 control, +50 CP), which is extremely cheap!

Tested ALL NQ mats, end up 100% HQ guaranteed (broke into 3 macros for the final condition check. You can just fuse the last 2 macros together if you wanna save time, but skip the check).

For NEW 2 star 35 durab items with 5428 difficulty

Final stats requirement:
2226 craft
2182 control
595 CP (by changing the Basic Syn into Careful Syn!)

For the new 2 star 35 durab items, it doesn't hit 100% HQ, but only 90%. So having 1 HQ mat will help.

[Caimie_Tsukino]

If using 1 HQ mat, or if 90-ish % is acceptable to you, then just get rid of the Great Strides... it will save you 32 CP, and you just need 556 CP in total... here you go:

/ac "Reflect" <wait.3>
/ac "Manipulation" <wait.2>
/ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/echo ShB 35 durab p1 (556cp) ended<se.2>

/ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>

Really super low stats required!

[Buuhuu]

Hi,

I came up with similar macros, when I tested with the 35 durab items, but I think you might have tested on the wrong items in the first one, at least when you say quality needed is 32753, as the new 2 star 35 durab items have 35092 quality requirement?

Anyway I think you mixed two skills in the first rotation:

/ac "Reflect" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
/ac "Manipulation" <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>

I think you meant to do:

/ac "Reflect" <wait.3>
/ac "Manipulation" <wait.2>
/ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>

this way it works, like you described even for the new 2 star ones but with those requirements as of teamcraft:

Craftsmanship: 2242
Control: 2336
CP: 588

Edit:

Also I would switch Great Strides and Ingenuity at the end, cause without Ingenuity you cannot finish the craft, therefore, when you have an excellent proc, you need to remember this when manually crafting (could lead to failing the craft if not paying attention)

/ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
