To ping pong off Matty’s “Macros and You” Guide, Crafters are special because you can chain Skills together. Macros themselves only have space for 15 lines of text however how you input the text to the skills matter.
For Example: You are crafting and struggling to get quality to 100%. You have two options change some gear and try manually crafting again OR Visit your bestfriend Raphael (https://www.raphael-xiv.com) to help you create a Macro if you do not feel like making one yourself.
Example:
/ac "Reflect" <wait.3>
/ac "Veneration" <wait.2>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Immaculate Mend" <wait.3>
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Advanced Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Advanced Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Trained Finesse" <wait.3>
/ac "Immaculate Mend" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Trained Perfection" <wait.3>
/ac "Veneration" <wait.2>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
Macro Breakdown:
/ac = Action Command, this allows the Macro to Target the Skill.
Names Need to be typed exactly as they are on the Action/Skill Button in Quotations
<wait.2> OR <wait.3> Is the amount of Seconds it takes for that Actions to Complete
These will then condense into a Singular button, but in the example I have Above those would be Two Separate Macros.
Raphael Explanation:
This site is pretty straight forward, Search the craft you are working on and you can input your stats and any Food/Potions you are using and it will generate a Macro for you <3
