Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well! Today a new short guide for expert craft in 5.41! I’m sharing 25 macros to make even more of them, easier and faster!

Tested these a couple of times and honestly couldn't get any to work with my stats & specific conditions with each test and ultimately had more successes doing them manually.
I feel like you need a certain amount of control without food buffs in general to have these be effective. I am pentamelded but dont hit 2800 control without using them, so the sheet was expecting me to hit reqs that I personally couldn't without having luck (specifically in the durability area).
I'm sure it'll help people but I'm not sure if everyone will find success from using these. Props to you for not selling them though and listing them for free.
Edit: Tested another time to be sure and still came up short about 500 quality even though I was well over the requirements for the macro I used.
My stats: 22 Dura, 159 CP, 31k quality
Macro: 21 Dura, 99 CP, 30k quality
Target: 58k quality
Final Total: 57.6k quality with 2 dura left over
I am a new level 80 crafter and expert crafting is way out of my league right now, but thank you for making this video ♥️ I am a visual learner and this is SO welcome in the sea of Google Doc/text guides, hopefully I can come back to your channel for more help in the future!
thank you so much for this guide…
with your video, now I understand why they say this as "semi-macro".
it really helps to make craft "a bit" faster & easier to choose finisher 🙂
I usually don't have enough durability by the end and if I use manip/mend I don't have enough cp!
thanks for the guide, it kinda works like before 5.41 for me now. It means sometimes good quality and most normal or bit better, doing that now because i can't see Diadem anymore 🙂
I hate to be that guy but do you have a macro for just normal hand ins? or at least second tier?
This is a great video, I learned a lot from it coming from never touching expert crafts before ^.^
My rapid synthesis has failed 12 times in a row now… ugh.. am i suppose to just trash the craft if i can't get 2 rapid synthesis on and retry?
