The 3 Star Crafting Rotations - General Compilation

[Fince]

requires 398CP and 416 craftsmanship.

416 craftsmanship allows you to replace 1 pbp with a cs2. this is effectively 15 additional CP available in your rotation. you will need a supra or FC craftsmanship buff and everything max melded. then your offhand must have at least 12 craftsmanship.

progress looks like : pbp (146) + 4x cs2 (75) = (446)

Taking some queues from Elasia, I've explored some CP over-subscription sequences based around 416 craftsmanship and 398 CP.

i'm no fan of crafting macros. mainly because my DSL is pooh. so i'm gonna go for a more visual presentation. i think we can all figure out where the Tricks opportunities can be found so i won't try to spoon feed that. so here are some scenarios.


1 Tricks of the Trade


2 Tricks of the Trade


3 Tricks of the Trade


These are some scenarios based on ability choices that seem likely to me. but i know this could benefit from some thoughtful scrutiny.

Surely some of the Pro crafters are realizing benefit of only needing one PbP in 3-Star recipes, so how are you taking advantage ?
