They sell for 415K in Ragnarok and price is dropping pretty fast, you always have people that sell stacks of them and drop the price and I understand that but then you have another who has only one and drops it lower than him <_<. I think its fair though as it would probably cost you around that to get one, even cheaper if you get lucky.

Btw, was your Mastercraft rate this bad because you started desynth'ing them at a low skill?

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-07-19 00:45

Possibly. Im only 83.xx currently.

**Kuji** · 2014-07-19 01:07

Thanks for the info, i'm going to try 4 glasses at 92% now.

Something I've noticed (at least on my server) is the people buy their III's in bunches off the MB. So if one guy puts one up for way under the going rate you don't have to immediately try to undercut. Just staying as one of the top 3 on the board works just as well.

They are just going really really slow. I managed to get GS and Wea to 80+ on about 900k so if I can just unload a couple to break even before they crash I'll be satisfied. And I've just relegated myself to getting my own tomatoes. 37% hq chance I usually average 10 hq per game day. Can spend the other 50 minutes doing whatever. I used it today to harvest enough grapes to make 999999999999999 vinegar.

Also, having my entire FC quit over the past year is finally paying off. Nothing but crafting bonuses all day every day and nobody ever complains!

So my Alch just hit 89 and I'm getting .2 from i70 recipes and there are no i90 recipes besides the new AF augmentations which cost 200K to make and obviously you can't meld those. Fucking Titan spreading his shit all the way to crafters.

5 am drunk crafting... is best crafting....

**Joyo** · 2014-07-19 05:03

Anyone else using AutoHotKey to help with crafting those Spicy Tomato Relish?
I will go ahead and share my setup.
First of all the 2 ingame macros that i use for the craft.
Macro1:

Code:

/ac "Comfort Zone" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Inner Quiet" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Master's Mend II" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Hasty Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand II" <me> <wait.2>

Macro2:

Code:

/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Ingenuity II" <me> <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me>  <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me>  <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me>  <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis II" <me>  <wait.3>

And my AutoHotKey script:

Code:

#SingleInstance force
SendMode Event
^!n::
Loop 30
{
IfWinExist ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    ControlSend, , {Numpad0}, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    sleep 100
    ControlSend, , {Numpad0}, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    sleep 100
    ControlSend, , {Numpad0}, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    sleep 1500
    ControlSend, , 7, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    sleep 41000
    ControlSend, , 6, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    sleep 22000
    }
return

7::
IfWinExist ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    ControlSend, , {Numpad0}, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    sleep 100
    ControlSend, , {Numpad0}, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
        sleep 100
    ControlSend, , {Numpad0}, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    sleep 1500
    ControlSend, , 7, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
    sleep 41000
    ControlSend, , 6, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
return

^!x::ExitApp

^!c::Reload

Macro1 is set on my ingame hotbar with keybind 7, Macro2 with keybind 6.
Numpad0 has the default keybind ingame.
"Ctrl+Alt+c" will reload the script if you made any changes.
"Ctrl+Alt+x" will close the script.
"7" will do a single craft. I use this most of the time while the game is out of focus and im browsing.
"Ctrl+Alt+n" will start a loop of 30 crafts.

I run a dual monitor setup and FFXIV is running in borderless window mode on one screen only.
The script will send the keypresses directly to the game so you can browse or watch a video while doing this.
Before you start the crafting loop make sure that your char is already kneeling and that pressing Numpad0 twice will start the craft. There are 3 Numpad0 presses in the script because for whatever reason 2 never worked for me.
If you move your mouse while the script is pressing Numpad0 it will most likely bug out for one craft, so watch out if you are not afk.
Make sure to adjust keybinds etc before using this and the wait times if you are using different macros.

Suggestions and improvements are welcome, i am sure there are a couple people that know this stuff a lot better than i do.

Mod please delete if this is too much omg3rdpartycheatinghax.

Did you actually use fire synthesis or did you use additional PBP? I havent tried one of these but if i understand correctly you can bypass the need for aspected synthesis by doing additional PBP.

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-07-19 09:53

10m? For moogle maybe, for ifrit? I don't know what your server is like but ifrit demi here is already down to 300k. Vortex stuff for like 3m (fully crafted).

"good" pop on first move, was able to use 1 Tricks of the Trade, and get another Steady Hand in there on the 9th step.

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-07-20 18:09

Just had a massive lightbulb.

Do frontlines -> use marks to buy i90 accessories / weapons / whathaveyou -> desynth.

Wonderful.

those can be desynthed?

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-07-20 18:21

i90/i100 cannot. Check eorzea DB: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/bc6753ed150/

Your limit for PvP benefit is the i70 tier.

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-07-20 18:29

Well, yes i70 can be desynthed. Still, that's p. nice.

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-07-20 18:30

Good alternative for BSM at least. 900 points for i70 sword.

**Kuji** · 2014-07-20 21:19

For BSM I lvled it by desynth'ing furniture, the Leviathan fount should be cheap and after that Summoning Bells.

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-07-20 21:47

Yeah all those things are ridiculously priced now since everyone has done it.

**Kuji** · 2014-07-20 22:03

I decided to desynth my WVR tool after going zero/15 on shitty glasses hoping for better luck but.... yay for rose gold nugget HQQ!!

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-07-20 22:06

I'm finally at 3 MC and like 6 Field 3 after like almost 40 specs (not joking). Just got Darksteel Nugget from Warwolf Blade, but more importantly, a .18!

**Kuji** · 2014-07-20 22:15

I just need one or two then I might just buy the rest off the market.. i'm making insane gils from them, one glasses costs 35K and Field selld for 425K. I started doing them at 1oo% rate so im getting a lot of Fields out of them. PVP shit is nice I just got 1 or two skills from it after lagging at 85 for some time now.
