crafting is gone

[Ryaz]

I'm pretty sure I'm not running an efficient macro but I'm able to do the new facet gear with 3/8 materials being HQ with 2284 craft/2050 control and 541 CP + blood bouillabaisse in 21 steps. As I and other crafters get geared up to the next level, it'll be even cheaper/easier.

Hell at least it's not like some of those Heavensward macros with 45+ steps.

Exactly. I had two crafts where I didn't hit 100% (74% and 86% on my facet coat and pants, which thankfully HQed). After that, I've been able to HQ most things without issue with a few HQ mats. Once I got full facet gear, minus the main hand, I can 100% HQ things like Pliabe Glass Thread from normal mats without a proc. I've got 625 cp with food and tea as a specialist, and again, this is without the main hand tool upgrade. End game crafting hasn't changed much (yet).

I'm a little disappointed that Delicate Synthesis still comprises the bulk of the rotations even for the new items.

There really isn't much they can do to make crafting legitimately difficult as opposed to just RNG, though.

sadly yeah, i dont play a lot of MMO. but in rpg crafting is usually just one button press, "craft" and its done. the only one that have advanced crafting that i can think of is atelier series.

It is definitely easier for new players but I've been HQing with all NQ mats the new 2 star crafted pieces with macros at 100% so macroing is still a thing. You just need a lot of CP for the 35 durability ones.

This is what I'm using, 626 CP with 2.3k craftsmanship/control. That's for the new 2 stars 35 durability items. Fyi, you do need to be a specialist and I don't know if this is the best macro to use but it works so \o/

Nice rotation
Added a few tweaks to bring it down by 18cp and add a little more power, if you want to use it non-specialist.

That's pretty nice. 35 durability items are so CP consuming, wish we could have some sort of macro that wouldn't use a Syrup/tea :< At least it works nicely. Thanks for the little improvement.

Edit, actually at these stats: 2331 Craftsmanship / 2433 Control / 607 CP. You can do this macro and it'll work for the Alumina Whetstone / Pliable Glass Fiber. So no need for Syrup / Tea at all . Blood Bouillabaisse is all we need.

Basic Synth is a good idea. Worth noting you have 5 Dura left over, so you can use Basic Synth twice, dropping the craftsmanship requirements even further.

There is how you make crafting simple. Then you get to cry when you break a synth that you are over 30 lvls above the required, or the only items that breaks is the one worth 20 mil gil.

Was... this the cause?
