Heavensword 1-3* Crafting Rotation and Macro including i190

[Katlyna]

Hi everyone! Yulani and myself came up with this 1 through 3 star macro approach. I use this macro for making one through three star materials/recipes which have 70 durability. It will HQ your materials roughly 70-90% of the time and is highly useful for making lots of food, potions, or base leather/cloth/nugget type materials. Note there is 24 extra CP in the picture (which is best used up with a basic touch at the end). The big key with the macro below is time to execute. This takes 26 actions as apposed to 40+ actions a flawless synthesis macro takes. It is slightly less powerful, but excels at cranking out food, potions, and intermediate materials. None the less I do frequently use it to make 3 star HQ armor so long as I start with 3k+ quality. Also this has no chance to fail progress! And again hats off to Yulani who helped develop and test this macro/approach! PLEASE NOTE this also works with the new i190 recipes but requires 933 craftsmanship (including foodbuff).

This is exactly what I need right when I needed it. Thank you so much. Trying this out tonight.

I've done well over 400 synths using something similar to this since 3.2. At higher CP you can replace a Hasty with Basic or Standard. I find it hard going back to babysitting Flawless Synthesis with this type of macro around.

Alright, this is the rotation i came up with


The additional comfortzone allows for an additional Innovation, therebefore boosting the endquality on top of improving the chance of fishing a good/excellent for byregots.
Regarding the breakpoint of CSII: MuMe+PbP result in 909 Progress, therebefore you need 742/4=186 progress per CSII under IngenII. I confirmed that 899 craftmanship result in 192 progress, so my guess is roughly around 870 880.

Only catch there is your picture and CP usage is showing Ingen I (one) so that would need to be adjusted. None the less you are correct about some potential adjustments to squeeze out some more CP though for people with near max CP. If you can squeeze in the extra SH and use innovation you can get in the extra Comfort Zone. In which case you have a triple slot window good bait (four slot window for excellent). Which is a fairly decent trade off for a shorter synth with less tots but more raw power than a comparable MaMa's rotation.

You can knock a few seconds off your 2nd macro without losing anything by adjusting it this way:

Food 80 MuMe *** End
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Master's Mend II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Byregot's Brow" <me>
/ac "Ingenuity II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <me>
/ac "Ingenuity II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/echo Macro #2 complete <se.2>

Thank You For This! I was curious as to what some new rotations would be to accommodate the most recent changes. I've already noticed that I had to change up a few things, so was curious if there were a better rotation that someone might have found :-)

Thanks Stouter, good tip!

[Katlyna]

Verified that you can use this macro for i190 with as low as 933 craftsmanship. Which is lower than I thought. That completed the progress EXACTLY. So you can MAYBE nip another 1-5 craftsman lower but I have not verified.

Seems awfully familiar.... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post3693052

This rotation was born a few months ago out of equal parts impatience and laziness after I got tired of 40+ step synths. I can confirm that it was roughly around 930 Craftsmanship that I could complete the new 3-Stars with this rotation, and I have a few other tips as well:

Depending on your ping you can shorten the macro quite a bit by changing the buffs (Such as IQ and CZ) to 2 seconds instead of 3. The new version looks like this:

Food 80 MuMe Start:
/ac "Muscle Memory" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Comfort Zone" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Inner Quiet" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Piece by Piece" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/echo Macro #1 complete <se.1>

Food 80 MuMe *** End
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Master's Mend II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Brow" <wait.3>
/ac "Ingenuity II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/echo Macro #2 complete <se.2>

Things to note on this rotation:

With 464 CP you can replace any HT with a BT/PT. If you're using a macro and want to take advantage of this for a possible Precise Touch or guaranteed stack then your second button should look like this:

/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Master's Mend II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <me>
/ac "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Brow" <wait.3>
/ac "Ingenuity II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/echo Macro #2 complete <se.2>

With 476 CP you can replace 2 HTs with a BT/PT if you get a Good immediately following MuMe.

With 478 CP you can replace a HT with a ST. I typically only do this on my last HT if I get 0 Goods out of the craft. To add this to your macro your second button should look like this:

/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Master's Mend II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" <me>
/ac "Standard Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Brow" <wait.3>
/ac "Ingenuity II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me> <wait.3>
/echo Macro #2 complete <se.2>

With 480 CP (The current maximum w/HQ Seafood) you can replace 3 HT with a BT/PT if you pick up a Good after CZ or IQ.
