Armorsmith Archive

Hey guys, thanks for the post! I'm doing armorsmith for the glory of it (even though I'm grinding to master heh)...and the RIS muahaha. My current macro uses 10 tools with a 4 sec pause to put in resources so it's going pretty fast. Plus I got my own harvesters to resources are cheap . In response to people having problems crafting the Ubese shirts, I can craft these with a Weapon, Droid, and General Item Crafting Tool, while in front of a Clothing and Armor Crafting Station...don't know if this is a hole or what but it works for me . Thanks again for the macro and grinding advice.

Hi Guys. Thanks for the great guide!

I'm going armoursmith partly in search of my FSCS, prof #16, but I also want to try something a bit different from bashing things all day

I am in the process now of collecting the resources needed for the grind and just need to know if these resources are generic, like just steel, or do they need to be specific, such as tatooinian fibreplast?

Thanks for the help.

All generic stuff for Mabari chestplates...

Thanks, makes gathering resources much easier.

Yeah ultimatly I was up to 13 tools...took me about 10 hours or so it seemed to master and I'm loving it now too! I'll be in this prof for a long time to come!

In this post I will try and help many AS and other who don’t know how to use macros or understand how they work. I will take each step at a time and give an explanation about it.
Ok here we go:

First off you need to get ready make sure you have you free mouse on ( press alt by default) and open your inv ( ctrl + I by default). Now drag some crafting tools into your toolbar slots. Best start with F1 to F4.
Open up you commands window (crtl + A by default) and click macro. Then click new macro.
Type a name and choose an icon.

Now for the macro. Before we start plz note the following
Macros are case sensitive if you type /nextc rather than /nextC it may not work
There is a limit to how much command text each macro can hold.
If the macro is going wrong and you need to stop it mid way type ‘/dump’
Macros use the toolbar slot count from 00 rather than 01.
The numbers will change as you advance in you profession
Always craft in the same rough spot for ease.

Ok I will show each step and explain it as we go along and I will show you the completed thing at the end.

/ui action toolbarSlot00;
This means user interface action select toolbar slot F1. so what ever you have in that slot it will click it.

/selectDraftSchematic 122;
This will choose the schematic you want and open it ready to add the ingredients. Depending on the tool and if you are near a crafting station depends on the schematic number. The best was it the use the 2 lines above in a separate macro and do it by trial and error. Also keep your datapad on draft schematics (do not sort it) and see how close you are to the item you want.

/pause 5;
This will make the macro wait. This pause is here so u can double click each ingredient in. you don’t have to click and drag

/nextC;
this will move you on to the next crafting stage

/nextC;
you need this.

/nextC;
this too because it need to skip 3 steps to create the object or schematic box

/createPrototype pratice no item;
this will chose the create prototype option and select practice (BTW for those of you who don’t know it give a 5% bonus of xp if you do so)

/createPrototype pratice no item;
you need this so you can begin the count down on your tool. You must have both lines. It will not work with one.
**if you want to make a prototype then type ‘/createPrototype’**

/stopCraftingSession;
this will close the crafting window so you can get on to the next one

/pause 2
this pause is here in case of system lag or what ever you can avoid the ‘you are already crafting’ error

this is the whole macro:

/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/selectDraftSchematic 122;
/pause 5;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/createPrototype pratice no item;
/createPrototype pratice no item;
/pause 2;
/stopCraftingSession;

I am happy to accept adjustment or additions. So people plz feel free to post your comments or criticisms. Flamers go else were. Script kiddies speak plain English this thread was made with newbies in mind

I don't know if someone has already asked this, but is there a quick way to stop the macro, i guessed the draft schematic number wrong (i have no idea how to find it out) and started crafting me the wrong objects, but even after i deleted the macro it seemed to keep on going for ages.

Any help would be appreciated

NO worries turns out my question has already been answered..now onto the grind...
