Guest Robin Report post Posted February 26, 2023 The leveling macro as shown for the 21-50 range is wrong. It should be: /ac "Waste Not" <wait.2> /ac Innovation <wait.2> /ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3> /ac Innovation <wait.2> /ac "Great Strides" <wait.2> /ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3> /ac Veneration <wait.2> /ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3> /ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3> /e Macro Finished <se.1> The problem with using Great Strides between Basic and Standard Touch is that it cancels out the combo. So you no longer get the bonus from comboing Standard off Basic. Putting Great Strides before Basic will still boost a touch action and give you the Standard combo immediately after. This will consistently give you max collectability, whereas with Basic > Great Strides > Standard you only get to max collectability sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will consistently give you max collectability, whereas with Basic > Great Strides > Standard you only get to max collectability sometimes. The macro is intentionally designed this way for a few reasons. Great strides actually provides a larger benefit on the Standard Touch than it would on the basic touch. Both because you have more IQ stacks when Standard is used as well as Standard Touch giving 125% efficiency vs the 100% efficiency. It makes the great strides required for the macro to hit T2 rating at level 21-26. From there it also serves as a learning experience, situations like that have become more prevelant in endgame rotations sometimes as CP caps increase where you may need just a little more control to actualy reach a good quality breakpoint.

Guest Zaraia Report post Posted March 9, 2023 there's nothing on the 80-90 range, is that not ready yet or is there an issue with the slider? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is, you just need to scroll down. Due to how the slider interacts with gear set embeds, it's creating gaps in the text. We'll try to get this fixed.

We are working on fixing and adjusting a range of guides with Dawntrail's release including this one. While Focused Synth has been removed from the game, nothing about its effect has been removed as it was simply merged with advanced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SynnFrost 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2024 Am I missing something for the 21-50 Macro? It has Innovation, but you don't even get Innovation until 26. Makes it kinda useless at lvl 21-25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wol V Report post Posted August 25, 2024 The lvl 21-50 guide is wrong. Innovation is a lvl 26 skill and the full macro requires more than 250 cp which makes you fail the craft losing out on both exp and materials. Please update it. Either using the macro Robin posted or getting to 264 cp with HQ right side gear with cp materia is needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has Innovation, but you don't even get Innovation until 26. Makes it kinda useless at lvl 21-25 With regards to the rotation, it is intentional to have innovation already built-in because it takes literal minutes to get to level 26 and isnt really worth the hassle. Before level 26 this rotation hits tier 2 collectability and without much higher gear and stats you cannot hit tier 3 which would be a waste for 5 levels. At 26 when innovation is unlocked, this rotation automatically hits tier 3 collectability. Ive added clarifications to the guide to explain that this is intentional. Additionally, the rotation is supposed to be using Stone Soup from a vendor or crafted by your Culinarian. This was missed when we changed the page over to the new macro format with a copy button that matches the in-game design, with the guide in 6.X it was mentioned in the header of the tool we had. This has also been added to the guide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Report post Posted September 27, 2024 I think there is a mistake with the level 90-97 scrips gear leveling macros as I ran out of cp when using those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apologies, the mistake is that food is supposed to be used still with that macro which makes up the CP you need. HQ Tsai or any other foods with a higher CP value. If theres any other issues with the rotation failing let me know but aside from that it runs fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
