500,000 Cosmic Class Points

[StouterTaru]

Looking to get the achievement, my plans:

Crafter jobs - do the 3rd and 4th Class A missions, with preference on the 4th. If neither is available, switch to a different crafter that has them available. They can be done by macro in under a minute, with no food needed

Miner/Botanist - still TBD

Fisher - 04:00-07:59 EX+ mission, Patience II and Chum every cast. Estimate based on my gut is I'm at around 75% / 20% / 5% for Gold/Silver/Bronze since I got my routine down and penta-melded gear

There's probably some room to tweak my macros

The Precise Touches and lack of Great Strides make them 100%, 100% of the time. No hitting Excellent/Poor in the wrong spot(s) to come up just short of 100%

It might be worth it to make them less than always 100%, especially if that gets the macro down to 15 lines, and possibly with a 2nd macro to make up just enough on a 2nd craft to hit gold when it fails to get 100%

Go to every red alert you can that has fishing up and do that. You get a whole lot of points.

[Supersnow845]

The actual best crafter missions for cosmic score by time taken are the weather missions on the moon (the ones that only appear during umbral wind or moon dust). They should be your top priority, red alerts are high priority as well followed by triple sequential EX missions if you can do them (since you can’t macro them). Normal EX a ranks come after that

I’d organise your macros around that

I’d organise your macros around that

The triple sequence EX missions in Phaenna can be macro'ed with food, but they take 4 long crafts for 1180 total points, my macros have 107 steps total for the 4 crafts

The quick Class A's take 16/19 steps for 175 points, no food needed

They're fairly close in points/time, but the class A's don't require food and give a lot more credits/time, I can get 6 of them in the time it takes to do a full EX sequence


edit: macros I have set up for the EX sequences, which could probably be improved upon:

The weather ones on the moon do look pretty promising (just the first of the 4), it looks almost macro-able with food, even if I can just get a silver payout

And I'm currently burning my miner/botanist on Red Alerts when available, so hopefully they'll be close to done by the time I finish crafters and fisher

I don't think I looked very hard at min/maxing these macros, I could probably cut a few steps off here and there

[Supersnow845]

The triple sequence EX missions in Phaenna can be macro'ed with food, but they take 4 long crafts for 1180 total points, my macros have 107 steps total for the 4 crafts

The quick Class A's take 16/19 steps for 175 points, no food needed

They're fairly close in points/time, but the class A's don't require food and give a lot more credits/time, I can get 6 of them in the time it takes to do a full EX sequence

The weather ones on the moon do look pretty promising (at least 3 of the 4, I'll look into them)

And I'm currently burning my miner/botanist on Red Alerts when available, so hopefully they'll be close to done by the time I finish crafters and fisher

I mean the 3 sequence ones on the moon, they give about 9000 points for the full set

[StouterTaru]

I mean the 3 sequence ones on the moon, they give about 9000 points for the full set

There are 3 different 3 sequence missions on the moon:

Class A normal: 165 + 455 + 970 = 1590 for 6 pretty rough synths

Time restricted easy: 910 + 1055 + 1450 = 3415 for 9 long crafts that can maybe be macro'ed

Time restricted hard: 2080 + 2240 + 7780 = 12100 for 6 insane synths, points heavy on the last two

I'm not sure I could get more points/time with the insane sequence, even after several hours of practice, not to mention the focus needed

[StouterTaru]

More than 1/3 of the way there, current plan:

Phaenna Crafter Class A's: 11,000/hr

No restrictions, jump between crafters to one that has the mission available

Phaenna Fisher 4 am: 15,000/hr

~3,500 for 14 minutes, every 70 minutes

Sinus 1st Crafter Weather: 28,000/hr

8 golds in an 8 hour weather 12,640 for 27 minutes

Sinus Gather+Craft Weather:30,000/hr (half to gatherer, half to crafter)

6 silver and 1 gold in 8 hour weather, 14,268 for 28 minutes (a rare time silver is better for crafting, 80% of reward for only 2/3 of the crafts)

Sinus Miner/Botanist Red Alerts: 30,000/hr

10,000 for 20 minutes

Hello! I'm a bit afraid to ask because I understand some may be touchy about those not in the know asking questions, but I was curious as to how I could go about emulating your approach.

Are you still using the macros you presented in the intro post?

You mentioned 'Sinus 1st Crafter Weather'.

What do you mean by '1st'?

Thank you for your time and patience.

[justausername]

what do you mean by '3rd or 4th Class A, swap to job that has the mission available', there are always 4 Class A...

[StouterTaru]

what do you mean by '3rd or 4th Class A, swap to job that has the mission available', there are always 4 Class A...

There are 9 Class A missions for each crafter in Phaenna, you only see 4 at a time. If you look at the mission log in the stellar mission selection, you can see which ones you've completed. They have different names on different jobs, but the recipes have the same requirements:

3rd mission:
Craft the specified number of collectables with limited supplies.
Collectability will be scored.
Number Required: 1

4th mission:
<1 use of Material Miracle>
Craft collectables with limited supplies and achieve the target score.
Collectability will be scored.
