3.0 Macro for 70 Durability (863 Difficulty). NQ Items, 100% near Guarenteed@!@!

[Havenchild]

Just figured I'd share the macro I made for these. You do not need any HQ items as this macro will result in a 100% chance without any at 653 control. However with 1 HQ item if you are at 630 - 653 control, you should 100% absolutely np.

Requirement: 433 CP, Get something over 630 Control, the higher the better, 653 (My current) Guaranteed.
Preferable food: Baked Onion Soup, Seafood Stew, Bouillabaisse

/ac "Name of (Element)" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of (Element)" <wait.3>
/ac "Brand of (Element)" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me>

Note: You must adjust the macro to whatever element your class is capable of / crossclassing atm.
EX: For ALC, it would be Name of Water and Brand of Water.

************ Be extremely careful with some of the names of skills!!!
Some "Name" skills have a "the" added in.
EX: CRP: It's "Name of the Wind"

Hope that helps and happy crafting those Draco Pots.

Nice but i thought the Brand Skills only worked on a few crafts? Or has the new skills changed that?

[Havenchild]

No, they could always be used with any craft. However, when a craft had an element, the skill would double the progress to a total of 200% if the affinity of craft and skill lined up.

What Name of the (Element) (new skill), does now, is further increase the skills base progress, but it is basically adding an exponential modifier to it that adjusts according to how much progress is left.
In short, its a PbP 2.0.

1. That's a poor explanation of the changes to the elemental synth skills.

2. You can't put decimal wait times in macros.

This is what I use on the rare occasions I'm forced to make pots >.<

Not sure who's is better, but with my stats (fairly good melds, but not fully capped) I get good results from NQ mats, I believe it requires 427 CP to use. (Warning, I'm sure of the exact craftsmanship required to complete it)

I've been using OP's macro for some time, since he told me about it and it's been successful for also durability up to 956 (level 60 no star), if you can squeeze in a third Brand of (Element) and that would mean you need 439 cp. At least with the right melds, probably had like 670-680 craftsmanship (don't remember).

@scarebearz: I used your macro with Bouillabaisse and it works for level 58 recipe which has 863 durability. Even with my 693 craftsmanship, I cannot complete the progress of level 59-60 recipe. I'll probably use yours if it's lower than level 58 I guess, but there's just so much cross-class skills I can fit. :/

In conclusion, both work fine with the right melds. Honestly though Name + Brand would be best to use for harder difficulty, especially those new 1-star or 2-star crafts I think. It's a somewhat cheaper way to increase your progress; I have completed a 35 or 40 durability craft in one step cause it did at least 550 progress.

Like so:


And here's another example of how Name + Brand work:

On 100 Crafts i got only 4 NQ in the end cause of bad bad rng

I'm trying to understand how these "Name of (Whatever)" work (as I just got most of them). So if you're crafting something with your alchemist, you'd use Name of Water to increase your progress more so than Piece by Piece would>

Basically, Name of (Element) turns the craft into that certain element and when you use Brand of (Element), it does 200% efficiency on progress, which does more than Standard Synthesis and Careful Synth II, but it is determined by your current progress so it's sorta like PbP in a way. I had to type that when I was more awake lol.

[Katchoo]

So i just went out and gave those element skills a hot ... WoW just wow, some insane progress. Needs to be tested further on other crafts :3
