They'll do for mass producing foods though. You should really look to craft manually for higher success with 3 star though.
    What do you mean Elesia's macros are for mass-producing? How are they different from yours? Technically isn't any macro pretty much a mass-producer, as you slam it and out comes the end-product? Just not sure what the difference is between your macros and the other pleyer's macros are. Thanks

    You know what's so overpowered in this game, that they just HAD to leave out?
    -Buffing during cutscenes.
    -Pets receiving the Protect buff.
    -A blacklist with more than a 200 player capacity.
    -Filtering the flying text for your own numbers.
    -A better way to organize and sort through your macros.

    Elesia's macro's are for actual 3 star crafts.

    Imo the best way to craft 3 star is manually, this makes it cheaper (less HQ mats used), faster and more reliable. (3 star is situational)

    They're for mass producing because you make the macro, its all set and needs no further attention other than clicking the macro button. Its less HQ reliable though, than others which have no strict rotation and rely on various procs.

    How would Control IV, CP III, and Craftsmanship III sound for offhand? Overkill?

    Just out of curiosity, does Bouillabaise HQ are quite cheap back at Sargatanas? Not that I can't craft it, in fact it's quite easy making HQ of it using all NQ mats.

    I'm just not sure I want to pop CP food every time I start crafting those. The artisan tool crafts might be an exception since I usually prepped all my mats for master book & artisan tool and eat food at least twice to complete them all straight away. That, and prepping the mats for making CP food are quite hassle as always. lol

    Other than that, great rotation. For now, I'm sticking with non CP food rotation.

    Here I thought it was some magical rotation that did not require food. Good work though. Nifty to have in general.

    Those macros I linked to in particular are the closest I've seen to a reactive mass production rotation. There's various macros in the later stage depending on how much CP you have left before the closing stages, since at points it checks for and uses Tricks of the Trade to get some CP back. Definitely, manual crafting for three stars will always be better and on anything of value I manually synth. I use those macros for bulk though, such as making loads of the new foods.

    This rotation will reach 100% quality on every 40 durability two star synthesis. Guaranteed!
    Requirements:
    -- 392 Craftsmanship, 375 Control, 381 CP which means:
    Just some feedback.

    I have been using this via the 1-2-4 macro, and I am seeing it hits only 94% on both 1 and 2 stars, even tho I do get HQ product. However, I also need to say that the 2 crafts that I have used this with so far are not at 375 control, one is at 374 and the other at 366.

    I will get the 375 control stat and test this out more.

    Unfortunately you can not guarantee 100% just spamming 1 > 2 > 4, a poor on either the Standard or Byregot's will ruin that. On 2 star, with 375 Control, I would suggest watching for conditions on those two steps because there is very little margin for error on the finished quality. As for 1 star, well that reaches 100% without an Artisan Tool, so if it's not reaching 100% for you with 374 I would have no idea why.

    I just tested it some more with the Goldsmith Blue tool, and it is reaching 100% every time. I guess you got some bad luck with Poor ratings.
