Very Helpful, thank you

Most looks fine and well done for all the effort gone into this.

However I think the 4* macro is a bad idea, to get a decent success rate on these people are much better off learning how to craft manually and adapt situationally based on the RNG they are given, it also allows for more optimal progress skills to be used.

I do absolutely agree. The 4* macro doesn't finish the craft, which allows you to Reclaim if needed. In fact by the end of the second macro in the set, you might have to also Reclaim and try again. However, the guide should serve as a basis for what rotation works for 4* in case you have no clue. It's worked incredibly well for me so far, getting all my Artisan armor crafted to 100% HQ and couple other items for others without much issue.

For the items to unlock the 4* recipes I do that 100% manually for the reasons you've explained.

If you insist on suggesting that macro, at least change the Steady Hand II at the end to Steady Hand. Byregot's Blessing doesn't need Steady Hand II, it's 90% success rate. This saves you 3 CP. There are a few other improvements that can be made to it.

Still, people should really learn how to craft for those. The macro is reducing your success rate quite a bit, as shown by how many times you had to reclaim.

What else would you change in it? You have any links to good 4 Star rotations?

What else would you change in it?

Honestly I don't want to spend too much time trying to figure out a better macro. But here are some slight adjustments to this one. Fair warning: I'm not proofing this, but the edits should still allow it to work the same way.

Macro 1

/ac "Comfort Zone" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Inner Quiet" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Steady Hand" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Piece by Piece" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Piece by Piece" (wait.3)
/ac "Piece by Piece" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/echo ## 4 Star 2 NOW ## (se.4)

Macro 2:

/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Comfort Zone" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Master's Mend II" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/ac "Steady Hand II" (wait.3)
/ac "Waste Not II" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/echo ## 4 Star 3 NOW ## If no WN2 Reclaim! (se.4)

I've switched the position of 2x Careful Synthesis II with 2x Hasty Touches. This allows, in case if you got no ToT during Steady Hand, for Steady Hand to be on during Hasty Touch. I've also moved Inner Quiet to the beginning of the macro to accommodate this change.

Macro 3

/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Steady Hand II" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Hasty Touch" (wait.3)
/ac "Tricks of the Trade" (wait.3)
/echo Finish craft manually!
/echo Steady Hand, Great Strides, Innovation, Careful Synthesis II
/echo If not enough CP, use Reclaim and try again!

I changed the Steady Hand II in the echo to say Steady Hand, because that's all you need at the end.

There are probably still more improvements that can be made, but I'm not looking into it further. This thing being a macro and having to rely on all progress steps landing is pretty limiting. I'd also try my best to get rid of that gods awful Waste Not II (probably the most wasteful of abilities), but again, this is a macro, so options are limited. So I'm done.

Thanks for this. The macros are all aimed at mass production or just a basis in case someone doesn't know where to start. Crafting is always best done manually but sometimes when you have 1000s of items to craft towards Luminary for example, macros can go a long way.

Just saw the video for 2-star 40 Durability crafting. When your quality meter jumped to 100%, that was absolutely insane! Then again, I'm still a rookie crafter who's been having trouble getting to even 30% on 2-stars, so yeah.

It's done by stacking Inner Quiet then using Byregot's Blessing. If you look at the different guides I've made I've explained it all. I have more than 75 crafting and gathering guides on my channel if you want to check them out.
