i hate crafting. don't become a crafter.


skerple
I'm trying to make HQ ceviche and cloudsail meuniere and it is NOT happening

skerple
"you quicksynthed your intermediate ingredients so you're working uphill with the quality" i don't see how my bad prep choices are relevant to my current dilemma

meownigishi
do you have food?

meownigishi
are you using a macro..

skerple
-- wait I have forgotten all my woes there's a mooncat in shout chat named Crit'a Kahlrol

skerple
meownigishi
: food AND medicine, and no

meownigishi
bc u shouldnt need hq materials if you have the proper macro

meownigishi
are you melded...

skerple
somewhat

meownigishi
whats your gear...

skerple


meownigishi
hm

meownigishi
do you have Craftsmanship: 5255, Control: 5115, CP: 745

skerple
this is part of why i hate crafting tbh. I don't like that I have to meld and fuck around with macros if I want to be good

skerple


Un(t)sundered
this is why most of the crafting I do is housing or weapon glams

meownigishi


Un(t)sundered
one I don't need to worry about quality on and one I can just hit the "be done with quality" button

meownigishi
h/o lemme see if i can find u a macro for what u got

skerple
I just want to be able to do endgame gathering without having to spend multiple millions on gear and materia T_T

skerple
and food

meownigishi
i got u buddy h/o

meownigishi
MACRO #1 (Plurk Paste)

meownigishi
MACRO # 2 (Plurk Paste)

meownigishi
this should hq ur ceviche

skerple
what's the difference between them

meownigishi
you need both

meownigishi
Hit macro 1, then when it finishes, hit macro 2

meownigishi
it'll hq it

meownigishi
this is without a potion

meownigishi
and rroneek steak as your food

Un(t)sundered
you can, I think, optionally put a sound of your choice after the last line of macro one, if the sound cue will help you know the first is done

skerple
oh, rroneek steak? I've been using salmon jerky

meownigishi
you should be using hq rroneek steak

meownigishi
if you've been using salmon jerky this macro might not be accurate...

skerple
hq salmon jerky yeah...

skerple
see, this shit. all of this. the fact that we are having this conversation is why I hate endgame crafting

meownigishi
what server are you on lol

meownigishi
i can help u out

skerple
no it's fine i just want to whine at this point lmao

meownigishi
its ok!!! im an omnicrafter....... let me help u

meownigishi
please.


meownigishi
im so strong

skerple
I AM ALSO AN OMNICRAFTER WITH ALL AT 100!!!

Un(t)sundered
...oh, that probably explains why rroneek chuck keeps selling for decent

meownigishi
IM PENTAMELDED

skerple
....OK FINE

skerple
i'm on cactuar

meownigishi
oh!!!!!! AETHER BUDDY LETS GO

meownigishi
ill be over in a second

Un(t)sundered
(I do not wish to endgame craft but I can sell mats to people and make money that way)

meownigishi
lemme grab some stuff

skerple
i'm at the tuliyollal marketboard

skerple
how do more dedicated omnicrafters deal with this. every time i want to improve my gathercraft stats, the way to do it requires better stats

skerple
and/or a mountain of materia to sacrifice to the melding gods

meownigishi
let me meld for u

meownigishi
i have insane melding luck

skerple
if you are willing I will take it

ಠ_ಠ
yeah... I like gathering, and I got sucked into it when I was leveling crafter (check things off the log number go up) but endgame crafting is kind of ass

skerple
gathering is so nice...

Un(t)sundered
gathering good

Un(t)sundered
(I say, having long since focused hard into big fish)

meownigishi

meownigishi


Yensia
aww, yay

Yensia
also re: rroneek chuck, it's also used for the easiest orange scrip craft, so yeah

Spider Hider
my favorite part is how you need to get each tier of crafting gear fully pentamelded to be able to make the next tier of crafting gear

meownigishi
Nah u dont... you need current gear sure but you dont have to be penta melded... just have food and maybe a potion

Un(t)sundered
Yensia
: it's pulling in a medium-low but steady profit for me; I'm not complaining XD

Yensia
Un(t)sundered
: it's a good hustle!

Spider Hider
No matter what I do, I cannot get the stats high enough to complete the base craft. No food or potion does it. Maybe you don't need full pentamelding but you clearly need to get part of the way there.

ಠ_ಠ
completing the base craft has never been the issue for me, HQing it is where I struggle
