With prudent Touch and 5.0 actions, it makes it to where you don’t need to manually think about anything.

...despite it being german: This is my 80-dura macro dating back to 2014 that I used for all crafts. I had one for 40-dura too, but I dont want to overload this post. I recall them not being 100% and more like 90-100% but with the amount of crafting at least I did back then I wouldnt have done it without macros.

And we went over this topic in several threads now - RNG =/= challenging.

They've also announced the restauration of Ishgard as content for hardcore endgame crafters - why dont you wait til 5.1 and see if thats what you have in mind instead of requesting content for endgame crafters every other week and going about it in the worst possible way: by making it less accessible to "casual" crafters and adding more RNG?
RNG doesnt require skill. It requires luck.
