    Do multiple teas stack? Never tried it, guessing no.

    You know what's so overpowered in this game, that they just HAD to leave out?
    -Buffing during cutscenes.
    -Pets receiving the Protect buff.
    -A blacklist with more than a 200 player capacity.
    -Filtering the flying text for your own numbers.
    -A better way to organize and sort through your macros.

The only real difference is your added Control, which does help get the final product to 100% HQ and your added CP, which is unecessary. Try your added Control to your original macro or the modified version I posted here and see what happens.
    It adds an Ingen2 for the last 4 Prudent Touches at the cost of no Innovation for Byregot's Brow. It gives 14308 quality vs 13849 from the original rotation (and one you linked in your thread).

    Please see the edit at the bottom of this post!



    Here's a similar rotation, but it requires HQ food and only one Control +3 materia (as well as max CP at 472 base), or a HQ Control Tea instead of the control meld if you prefer.

    Food: HQ Seafood Stew (CP +50, Control +31)
    Tea (optional): HQ Commanding Craftsman's Tea (Control +25)
    Gear and melds. HQ vanilla 4.01 gear. Max out CP (however you'd like). Meld a Control +3 materia (or more) wherever you'd like.

    Here's the macro:

    Macro 1
    /ac "Muscle Memory" <wait.3>
    /ac "Comfort Zone" <wait.2>
    /ac "Inner Quiet" <wait.2>
    /ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
    /ac "Steady Hand II" <wait.2>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Piece by Piece" <wait.3>
    /ac "Manipulation II" <wait.2>
    /ac "Steady Hand II" <wait.2>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Comfort Zone" <wait.2>
    /echo Now hit Macro 2!

    Macro 2
    /ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Steady Hand II" <wait.2>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
    /ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
    /echo CHECK CONDITION: If Excellent, hit Macro 4. If not, then hit Macro 3!

    Macro 3
    /ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
    /ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
    /ac "Careful Synthesis III" <wait.3>
    /ac "Careful Synthesis III" <wait.3>
    /ac "Careful Synthesis III" <wait.3>
    /ac "Careful Synthesis II" <wait.3>
    /echo Done!

    Macro 4
    /ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
    /ac "Ingenuity" <wait.2>
    /ac "Careful Synthesis III" <wait.3>
    /ac "Careful Synthesis III" <wait.3>
    /ac "Careful Synthesis III" <wait.3>
    /ac "Careful Synthesis II" <wait.3>
    /echo Done!

    EDIT: Edited the macro commands only (not the image of the rotation ) to reflect Ermad's enhancement found in the post below, by transferring Piece by Piece to come after the the first set of Prudent Touches, instead of before them. Gear and melds have also been updated too.

    Nice adjustment, you can move the first PbP to after the first 4 Prudents to give a bit more quality. After you do that you can get full quality, with just White HQ gear + full CP melds + Seafood Stew, no other melds required.

    Good idea! I still think you would need the HQ control tea in addition to the HQ Seafood Stew though?

    EDIT: Just checked. You can drop the tea altogether with your enhancement, as long as you at least meld one Control +3 materia somewhere. Post has been updated.

    What about something like this ? Using the same stat, I find this rotation more straightforward. The odds that you aren't getting a good condition are abyssmal, and you could just meld a couple of cheap control materias to reach 100% anyway.

    I've been trying to make a macro that does 1star as cheap as possible in CP but still accomplish as close as possible to 100% with NQ mats, since I feel a lot of these ones in here are very expensive in CP, so far this is what I came up with:



    It uses a total of 495 CP

    Not a bad rotation, but it doesn't achieve 100% HQ. Yes, you get close, and you may likely hit a Good condition at least once, but what if you don't and the craft doesn't 100% HQ and actually makes a NQ? I know, not really the end of the world, but with macro crafting, we need to remove as much, if not all, RNG as possible. It also appears to rely on at least +26 Control melded, since HQ Seafood Stew will only give you +31, in order to reach your displayed Control of 1171. And it also looks like Stroke of Genius or something was activated in there as well?
