I hate expert crafting

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

To much RNG and can never get the quality built up due to it. I seen some macros that almost let you get the minimum quality possibly. If I may ask who can I blame for this hot mess lol. Couldn't leave well enough alone

a lot of it will depend heavily on your rotation and gearing.

I typically can get maximum quality easily with food and my gear.

definitely if you ware crafting exarchic it will depend on what you are using rotation wise. what are your stats like?

*wince* that Crafting Point is just so low.

Control exceeds the amount needed with buff to craft the hardest items, but it's never fun to remove pentameld and start over.

that should easily be enough to HQ things, better than what I normally run even.

I am assuming you are also using hq chili crab and hq cunning craftsmans syrup as well?

If that is the case, then the rotation is whats killing your quality.

I either get normal most of the time and not pliat, center etc that much. I went by a guide for materia melding guess it's still not high enough -.- Feel liike saying screw the skybuilder tool and just be happy with my HQ stuff

something I also gave up was macros for the current tier end game crafts unless its the raw materials or alkahests since it gave me the ability to take advantage of crits and save CP I have it all memorized now, but I basically run this manually, and I have no problem with probably 98% HQ rate. doing it "by hand" is a bit more time consuming, but it works for me

oooh, this is for skybuilder? yeah, I seriously dislike that stuff. my suggestion is only for non skybuilder things. sorry

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

I just would like to get it for possibly glam down the way but considering how random and difficult it is

[Momo_Kozuki]

I get the idea behind expert crafting is using RNG to battle macro-able craft.



In the end, it boils down "if condition A happens, press button X", until you reach the limit of your CP. Gathering collectibles do the same thing, but it feels much more engaging.



I think expert crafting should have a new UI and a more intriguing mechanic.
