Crafting Macros for 35/40 Durability Recipies at Level 60

[Katlyna]

Hi all! I wanted to share the crafting macros I use for 35/40 durability goods at level 60. Using these macros you can easily reach HQ on most 35/40 durability recipes. I use these macros for making all cloth/leather/nuggets/etc. Please note this set of macros has some hasty touches so you will sometimes get a normal quality product. Also special note, as written this macro uses 384 CP. If you DO NOT have enough CP you can reduce the CP cost by swapping one or two basic touch for hasty touch!

* For the 58 durability recipes this will have some hit and miss on HQ rate. This is primarily a time save for people who do lots of crafting and use up both HQ and NQ 40 durability goods.

Crossclass skills required:
Comfort Zone (ALC 50), Steady Hand II (CUL 37), and Careful Synthesis II (WVR 50).
** Ingenuity II (BSM 50) Must be added to the macro for recipes level 59 and 60; I think there is only one notable 35/40 durability recipe over 58 is Chrysolite gems.

The macro comes in three parts: The idea is you always start your sequence with TwoStar40DurabilityStart. You end with TwoStar40DurabilityEndNormal if the condition is normal/good/poor. You end with TwoStar40DurabilityEndExcellent if the condition is excellent.

TwoStar40DurabilityStart:
/action "Comfort Zone" <me> <wait.2>
/action "Inner Quiet" <me> <wait.2>
/action "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/action "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Master's Mend" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Master's Mend" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Steady Hand" <me> <wait.2>

TwoStar40DurabilityEndNormal(if condition normal/good):
/action "Great Strides" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Byregot's Blessing" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>

TwoStar40DurabilityEndExcellent(if condition excellent):
/action "Byregot's Blessing" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>

Let me know if you have any questions!

I also want to mention I keep second variant on hand for when I'm using food buffs. The only change is the the START, where I remove all hasty touches. If you are HQing level 58+ materials this is the better option. This requires 420 CP with food.

TwoStar40DurabilityStartWithCPFood:
/action "Comfort Zone" <me> <wait.2>
/action "Inner Quiet" <me> <wait.2>
/action "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Master's Mend" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Master's Mend" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/action "Steady Hand" <me> <wait.2>

Your only getting 7 touches out of that first one which seems a little low, but then again maybe it might not be possible to get more into a two part macro without risking hitting a poor on a BB.

Thanks for sharing. Found yours usually left me averaging around 70-80% HQ so thought I'd share mine for some variation


I prefer to make this as mindless as possible for spamming so I don't break up my last macro in two. Even hitting my last byregot's on an poor quality ends up being 90% HQ, and the vast majority of the time I end up with 100% This is with me pentamelded on everything but one accessory, no melding on main and off-hand.

Here is what i use. Similar thing, i just shove it into two macros and if i hit a Poor then oh well. This gives you 9 Touch chances. Replace Hasty with Basic depending on your CP pool.

I removed Ingenuity II (BSM 50) as its not needed with reasonably melded level 60 gear for recipies 58 AND BELOW. I think there is only one notable 35/40 durability recipe over 58 being the Chrysolite gems. Also this means my 40 with food macros will have no hasty touches and will HQ nearly every time unless a poor hits in a funny spot.
