My 100% RNG Free 40 Durability 1 & 2 Star Rotation

[EvianEverdeen]

Sounds good, but check materia prices, could be cheaper to do 3 control - 3 cp - 5 craft (or 3) - 1 control. or whatever combination.

I try to get all the materia on my own accord through spiritbonding, because I'm not rich just yet! I will definitely check it out though. The IV will definitely go in there, I know I don't get them all that often when spiritbonding, but I seriously hate overmelding more than I have to, because I have really bad luck. So if I can go the three-materia route over the four, that's definitely what I will be doing. And we can still be friends!

does this leave you with any cp?

7 if you use Bouillabaisse HQ, 0 if you use CP+3 on Off Hand and Fish Soup HQ. It requires 381 so anything over will be left over.

For Selene's macros you need to add atleast 1 craftsmanship, 4 control and 3 cp (for the 40 dura ones).

You only need the Craftsmanship I for the 80 durability one. There's no 'additional' requirement for this one, I just recommend that since it won't break people's 3 star tools.

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.

Must have misread the bit about melding 3 cp on the offhand for this macro (i.e. so you can use cheaper food).

[EvianEverdeen]

With practise and an understanding of crafting mechanics you will have a very high HQ rate with 3 stars with just Control IV CP III on your off hand. If you're looking to just mass produce stuff instead, you can use Elesia's Macros. I use them for three star foods and they're very good, albeit not the 'best'. 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

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)

[Dontcounttoday]

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.

[SeleneVenizelos]

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.

My Other Rotations:
For every single one star material this rotation will always HQ, even without your Artisan Tool. Terrific!

Vanya Silk, Darksteel Ingots, etc with Artisan Tool
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.
