Rotation for collectables mats

[Caimie_Tsukino]

Hello there crafters!

Can you help me by sharing your rotation for the mats they added lastily as collectables give-in? Like Ramie Cloth (Blu) or chimerical (red). No need to be specialist as I\\\\'d prefer a universal rotation or even a macro to farm those.. Thank you very much!

I just hit 60 so my stats are still low.

Well, I don't mind helping you to tailor-design a macro for you, but then what's the fun for you? You just copy and paste, and just hit the button to craft?

I think part of the fun of the crafting game lies in you designing your own macros... especially when only YOU know the best what your own stats can do. E.g. how many strokes of CS II is needed to complete the item(s)? Or how many IQ stack + Innovation (or not) is sufficient to HQ your desired item? For me, I only needed IQ7 or IQ8, but for you, maybe more?

Notice how lvl 59/60 recipes may require 3 strokes of CS II instead of just 2 strokes for lvl 58 recipes. So, you macro design may be very different for them. If you want a "universal" one that does it all, then you will sacrifice some power on quality for the lvl 58 recipes. Mithrie Menethil is famous for designing some macros that are "universal" and "simple". You can find them in his youtube videos or reddit posts easily. Are those macros robust? Yes, they can get the job done if you have enough stats (or using lots of HQ mats)! Are those macros optimized to give the maximum quality for the CP utilized? No, far from it! If you want more power, you have to refine your own rotations.

To be honest, I think I have to thank Mithrie. Because of him spreading his macros that requires a ton of HQ mats, people thought they need HQ mats to HQ those items, and so I was able to sell lots and lots of HQ crafted 35 durab mats, which I merely used NQ mats to macro-craft the HQ products.

Using macros to farm for scrips when your stats are at minimum really doesn't sound like a wise idea to me. Macros are for massive farming when your stats are high. So you can auto-craft without thoughts and improvising. Manual crafting is the way to go if your stats are low.

Macro crafting when stats are low is only acceptable when your mats are freely/cheaply available in bulk, so you don't mind if it messes up at all. In such a case, you can design a macro that massively utilize Manipulation / Waste Not (or even Waste Not II) and Hasty Touches according to your available CP. Then wrap it up in a Byregot buffed by Innovation and/or Ingen2.

If you just really need some "blue prints" to work with... just need to see a sample macro... you're welcome to visit Chapter 46 of my crafting guide:

Anyway, in my opinion, those new "Ramie Cloth (Blu) or chimerical (red)" are not ideal for massive production for scrip farming. They give way too little scrips to justify the mats. It's better to do the original 70 durab items. CUL items give less scrips, but they utilize cheap mats, so they're also an acceptable choice. The new 35 durab items are good to be made collectable if you have only a few scrips left to max... E.g. if you have been doing Noble Gold for collectables, you will be getting like 46 Red Scrips per item. And you would only need like 8 of them to get 368 Red Scrips. Then you do 8x Deep-Fried Okeanis to reach 448 scrips. Now you go to do 1 Chimerical Felt, and fill up the last 2 Red Scrips with it, reaching the weekly cap of 450. That's the best way to max your weekly cap imo.
