Crafting rotation for Ishgard

[Espritduo]

My Ishgardian Rotation:



Uses NQ Popotoes au Gratin, 2305 base Craftsmanship, 2532 base Control. I had to use the specialist bonus +FC Buff to hit that control, but you could do it with max melded MH/OH, which I ain't doin, lol.

The rotation works just fine without specialist or food for around 39k finishing quality, which is more than enough.

Out of curiosity, I made a rotation with the lowest stats I could manage. Uses Blood Bouillabaisse NQ, and the Craftsmanship is only 8 above the cap requirement to even attempt the craft and the Control is ridiculously low, so as long as you have the CP, which is also nowhere near the cap, you can do this rotation.

This one interests me greatly, since my stats are 2152,1984, and 464 without food. So I'm guessing the rotation is just looking at the images

I'm new to this all so I just want to make sure I have this down.

You could use my rotation, it uses a bit less CP than Caimie's and with your low stats, you are still able to reach the needed 3'500 collectability. However, due to your low CP you need Food buffs.

/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>

/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>

It uses 541 CP, so you need to eat HQ blood bouillabaisse and cunning tea (HQ) or syrup (NQ).

With higher stats (more craftsmanship and control) you can change the rotation to replace one delicate synthesis with a prudent touch (saved 7 CP) and delete the last prudent touch (saves 25 CP), so you only need 509 CP. This is what I do.

Oh I'm totally okay with that since the furthest I've ever gone craft wise is making HQ Grade 1 Tinctures back in 5.0. So making the food and getting the Tea/syrup are totally fine by me. I've just been rocking Grade V materia I had leftover from maps so I'm not going full ham on my gear until I head into crafting the Facet gear so I'm glad there's options for people like me because food and the like I was expecting to use.

I'll start gathering those mats and trying it out and hopefully it goes well. Thank you very much for the input! <3

That rotation needs 583 CP though. You will need some strong CP food if you only have 464 CP.

If the CP requirements are too high, I made another one that requires a bit more Craft and Control, but less CP. The Craft/Control just happen to coincide with your stats, so it might be more useful for you:

Molto bellissimo! I'm assuming with food the best recommended would be Blood Bouillabaisse (HQ) to help ease the pain for my lack of control?

If you have 1984 Control without food, you already have more than enough to do the rotation, since the 1981 needed is the Control after food (all the stats in my posted rotations are simply what is needed to do the craft, with food already applied if needed). Only reason you would want HQ over NQ Bouillabaisse (which can be bought from NPC's) is for the extra CP.

I used your rotation first to test it out and it worked out great! I used HQ BB and I almost always hit the right amount of collectable rating, just minus some bad poor procs at the wrong time which is to be expected. I didn't end up using the tea but the HQ one got me the results I needed almost every time. It was my first time using a crafting macro and I was shocked to see how easy it went by.

I ended up trying yours as well since I wanted to see the difference and it also worked great as well. I was still riding on the HQ BB from Seyb's rotation and I pretty much got the same results. I'll most likely run through the rest of my BB's then cut it down to yours with some cheap tea to see how it goes as a whole but I think it should work out great.

Thank ya'll for the support I was super nervous doing these crafts going in but I was shocked with how much theorycrafting went in to get the optimal rotation for it, especially with them being 60 durability as opposed to the normal 80 for the high end stuff.

My Ishgardian Rotation:

Not sure why but I'm getting a different result when I put that into teamcraft, perhaps they updated lately? Either way it's a solid rotation and get's the 1 button max reward.

My own at the moment is:

/ac Reflect <wait.3>
/ac Manipulation <wait.2>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac Ingenuity <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>

Which should work on 2352 Craft, 2135 Control and 478 CP
