Neo Gear Rotation and or Macros?

[Maero]

Just wondering if anyone has a macro or rotation for the Neo gear that they do not mind sharing ?
Granted my stats are not entirely there yet, i need more cp ( i am bellow 500 atm) and a tad bit more Craftsmanship but would like to begin crafting my own Neo gear soon. The MB are way too expensive, lol


Thanks in advance

But... isn't that just taking away all your fun??? :O
Btw, lower than 500 CP is really pushing it too...
Anyway, one can always come up with a macro utilizing 500 CP, but it would mean less effective on quality, and require using more HQ raw mats, as well as making all the intermediates HQ before macroing the final product.
And btw, I think the Neo gear on MB are currently way way way too low on price... 200-ish K for a weapon? That's not even profitable unless you gather all the mats yourself. I don't even bother to make any for sale even though I do gather all the mats myself.

Lower than 500 is definitely pushing it. I'd meld more CP. Around 580-600 after food/syrup, 2500 Craft and rest to Control will let you handle most rotations. A rough 1-100% example would be:

Requirements: 2494 Craftmanship, 2246 Control and 587 CP after food

/ac Reflect <wait.3>
/ac Veneration <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>
/ac Groundwork <wait.3>
/ac Groundwork <wait.3>
/ac Groundwork <wait.3>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac Manipulation <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/echo Macro #1 finished <se.1>

/ac Observe <wait.3>
/ac "Focused Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac Observe <wait.3>
/ac "Focused Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/echo Craft finished <se.3>

But if you're on a tight budget you can always post your stats after melding and I'm sure we can sort you something specific.

I agree with Camie though, I've never seen a combat set so cheap a week into the patch. I don't craft them to sell either, 200-300k is hardly worth the time.

I use a universal set up macro and then change it based on what durability class I'm crafting.

Stat card Non-Spec: Cr 2496, Cn 2335, CP 536
Stat card + HQ Boulli: Cr 2496, CN 2399, CP 602

Add a Cunning Tea for +15 CP if you need to.

Set up:

/ac Reflect <wait.3>
/ac Manipulation <wait.2>
/ac Veneration <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/echo <se.3> pick 70 or 35!

35:
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Master's Mend" <wait.3>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis"

70:
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis"

My melds are a mix of expensive [All 8s and 7s] and eco [overmelded 6/5s] depending on the gear piece and how easily it can hit max stat.

My weapons are all crafted and socketed with +6 CP. Some, such as alchemist for consumables might have another command 8 in there to help mitigate poors that sprinkle in here and there. If you find yourself with over 12 CP to spare, you can swap these out for scrip tools to gain a Craft/Command boost.

At my stat cards, 35 mats barring a bad poor placement are 97-100%.

I generally craft 70s with 8-12k quality which overkills it by around 10k, but again - I do it to mitigate poors since I'd rather run the macro than watch it and manually stop it.

lol i know Caimie but i am in dire need of the gear asap
I guess just Leviathan has been pricier lately, or it could be because i am broke. haha
i spent foolishly on other stuff.. I need to get materia some other way other then the mb because that is what has been killing me.

Thank you all for the feedback and answers along with some macros. I will try to meld more cp tonight and give it a go and report back.
I know craftsmanship i am slightly above the requirements and control i have plenty of.

Thank you all again

If you want to find your own rotation Go here https://ffxivteamcraft.com/search They have a simulator that you can use to toy around with your own idea's. Real helpful for making rotations and not eating threw mats.

[Maero]

My gear now that i added more melds https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1CLU0
I may have missed something as my final stats are CP 520, Craftsmanship 2508 and Control 2292
For whatever reason a few updates back the Ariyala site does not recognize my name so i have to manually input :/

All of the mats i have HQ so should help some, and i guess Food i could use Blood Boulabaisse.

Also thank you Nana, i had heard of that site but never really delved into it. Much appreciated.
I am not as bad as a crafter as i am a healer but still need practice, lol

Nearly there, from the looks of it, you have the potential to hit almost 530 comfortably by melding even more CP.
CP IV's (+4) should be fine. Find a good Yellow Scrip item to grind (preferably Craftmans Cunning Syrup), or buy them if they're cheap, and fill in any more you can fit, including main-hand. You can even sacrifice a little control to fit in extra CP.
You're counting your specialist stone, add a few Craftmanship IV's too, so you can hit the minimum 2494 without it.

Once you reach the following stats without having a specialist stone equipped or any food active - Craft 2494, Control 2228, CP 527 - You can use the following rotation.

/ac Reflect <wait.3>
/ac Veneration <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>
/ac Groundwork <wait.3>
/ac Groundwork <wait.3>
/ac Groundwork <wait.3>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac Manipulation <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/echo Macro #1 finished <se.1>

/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac Observe <wait.3>
/ac "Focused Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/echo Craft finished <se.3>

Which should get you 1-100% on any 3 star 70 durability craft, no specialist or any HQ mats needed.
The rotation requires NQ Blood Bouillabaisse which can be bought cheaply from the Cul vendor in the Crystarium.
If you're still scraping for CP and prefer not to continue over-melding, you can consider the alternative route of HQ Blood Bouillabaisse and CP Syrup which should get you to the requirement easily. Though melds can be worth it in the long run.
Good luck with the crafts

[Maero]

Wow, you are a savior. Thank you so much for all the info you have provided it really is a true help. I will try to craft my weapon before i run Savage tomorrow
You deserve several likes

Edit: I have noticed other macros have some abilities not in quotes, if i may is there a reason for that like example the /ac Innovation
Just trying to understand. My old macro i had for Ishgard Restoration i had the same idea, so i added quotes to those actions

It's just how it copies if you make your rotation in Teamcraft. It should function perfectly fine copy-pasted ingame.

If you want to be certain a rotation works, I'd give it a spin on the practice recipe (mats available in Eulmore).
