Of the lack of auto-crafting option

[Silma]

Hasty Hand is your friend then. No you won't be able to make 54 at once, I wont even go about how ridiculous the idea of that sounds.

Hasty hand wont work well if you have the level of the craft you do. And I was not talking at all about doing all the crafts at once.

Auto-craft with 50% success chance and no exp would be ok, i think
Or just use for quantity hasty hand and the "3 in 1" recipes

No XP sounds extreme, but i like the idea. I would go with as low as 50% xp off. I also like the idea of the "3 in 1" principle being extended.

As others have said, Hasty hand is a kind of auto craft, and if you want HQs or exp you HAVE to work for them.

Again, i'm not talking about HQ here, but crafting large number of items in a less boring and repetitive way.

I read the first post and I was hugely reminded of that extremely large MMO

I have not played that game a lot and in no way use it as a model.

the last thing this game needs is for crafting to cater to people with "little time". If people can do it in little time, then the undercutting and market flooding would be worse hen what we have now.

I'm not using the "little time" as an absolute excuse. If each synth takes you 2 minutes and you have 50 synths to do, i wouldnt mind the auto-craft option to last for 1h40. But i would use those 1h40 to do something else than pressing enter wether it is on "standard work" or "hasty hand".

Now look people, this is the system as it is now :

>open synth window
>select mats, select the tool
>item window opens, clic confirm
>craft your item, it is now in the reciepe list
>finish craft, you are back to the synth window
>clic reciepe, reciepe window opens
>select the reciepe you want, clic confirm
>back on the synth window, select the tool
>craft the same item as before

These are an awful lot of steps for crafting the same item twice when you firstly dont know the reciepe. I propose :


>open synth window
>select mats, select the tool
>select the item you want to craft with selected mats
>clic a checkbox "do this reciepe mutiple times"
>craft your item, synthesis ends
>instead of going back to the synth window, synthesis starts again (0% progress, 100 durability)

seriously, is that too much to ask ? would save plenty of time while not ruining FFXIV idea of crafting, am i right ?
