Greetings


I've asked a few people about grinding AS, I havent been able to really get an oppinion is to how I

should grind it of course I want to do it as fast as possible. What should I do? should I just macro

armor upgrade kits forever or should I located the bone and hide required and macro the components

for bone armor then the armor itself.


It all seems very time consuimng, and of course to master any profession it is I understand that

but I'd be interested to hear from vets out there how to achieve results with minimal time, your ideas

comments, and hints would be greatly appreciated on this topic. By the way I also dont seem to be able

to "guess" the schem number of armor upgrade kits, if anyone knows it could you let me know too.


Thanks for your time

It depends on what schematics you have, and may change as you gain new schematics. The number will be the position that the AUK occurs in your 'Draft Schematics' list in your datapad, discounting any schematics that cannot be produced with the Armor/Clothing tool.


In other words, use trial and error to find the schem number, but use your Draft Schematics list to help you narrow it down. It shouldn't take you too long, just stick in a random number like 30, see what schem that brings up, then look at your list in the datapad to see where the AUK is placed, in relation to the schematic that came up. Adjust the number by 5 or 10 in the appropriate direction, see what you get then, and continue to narrow it down until you find it.


Oh, and if you have the factories and resources to do it, I think one of the Mabari items is quickest for the grind. Sorry I can't be more specific, just look for the one with the highest resource usage. You'll need a buttload of hide - I had to spend 3 or 4 hours slaughtering Rancors to get the hide, and that was with a speed-capped Master Swordsman. I think I went through about 60k or more to hit master

ok, i'm at work so i cant give you the good macro i used to grind AS in literally a few hours (if i remember i will post it to later).

best way i've found is grind weapon and general crafting tools till you get novice AS. then novice AS gives you the ability to grind mabari chestplates you'll need resources for 1850 ish chesplates in total in practice mode (the macro i have addresses this too) you'll need about 6 full factories runs of synth cloth from tailor i think, possible novice talor. and several loads of armorweave (cant remember the numbers) factory runs are best as they dont give good XP.get your materials together for the whole run and sit by and armorsmith trainer while you grind out teh chestplates.


i'll show the proof later but i can do novice to master in a bit over 7 hours with 4 chest plates a min.

now to support this you need 10 crafting tools each in a slot from F1 to F10.

next load manually the first crafting tool and choose the schematic you want to repeat (ie mabari chestplates) till you get the screen with the materials selection and deposite. then close the crafting tool completely.

all set just hit F11 and you're off.

NOTE: depending on the schematic you choose you will want to change the pause time currently set as "/pause 4" to nearer 8 or 10 for mabari, all depends on how quick your fingers are

just a tip to save re-typing: in game hit CTRL - O, then "controls", then "keymap"" at the bottom, then "all" at the top, find the two descriptions labeld as "ChatEditCopy" and "ChatEditPaste" and allocate them to CTRL - Z and CTRL-X respectivly (very handy for long macros!)

Thanks Puttley that macro is awsome, however when I use it and craft the items
for example I'm trying to make ribbed shirts with a clothing and armor tool.

The macro works fine however I dont seem to be getting any xp for the things
I grind, can u explain to me why, because I'm also grinding tailor aswell as
Armorsmith.
------------------------------
Never mind I fixed it I just added another line to the macro
/nextC;

and it started working thanks again.

You were probably running the macro within 'using distance' of a crafting station. The presence of a crafting station adds an additional stage to the crafting (the option to experiment), so you need an additional /nextC

hey puttley mate, I have run into a problem with the macro
when It loads the schematic using the defaultbutton; string
it wont load straight to the part where I click the resources.
So I have to manually click next in order for it to move on.
Sorry if I make no sense but I'm sure u know what I mean.
