This macro was originally created by JaatoWaals (the ArmorSmith Correspondant) I have modified it slightly for my personal use.

This is one variation on the grinding macro. This version functions while standing in front of a crafting station, something necessary to make Mabari Chestplates and Ubese Armor shirts. You will need to play with it to adapt it to your own use. You will also need to figure out which draft schematic number to use, because they're all different for each person based on the order you acquired your skills in. The easiest way to figure it out is to go to 'draft schematic' section of your datapad, put it into list mode, and count down, skipping all the schematics your armorcrafting tool can't make.

And here's the macro:

/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/selectDraftSchematic 47;
/pause 10;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/selectDraftSchematic 47;
/pause 10;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;
/selectDraftSchematic 47;
/pause 10;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/selectDraftSchematic 47;
/pause 10;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;

Place the macro in the first toolbar slot and four armor crafting tools in the next four slots. This macro opens each of the tools in turn, selects the schematic for, say, a Mabari chest plate, gives you 10 seconds to select the resources (so you gotta work quick), and then makes the item in practice mode. So you get the 5% experience bonus, and no Mabari chest plate. All you have to do is double click on the resources needed for the schematic, and nothing else. You could reduce it to an 8 second wait time and try for 5 crafting stations at once, but I found it a little too hectic and rushed and made mistakes too often resulting in /dump of the macro and start over again.

After the fourth tool, the macro calls itself, thereby starting again at the first tool. If you make something less complicated (You need 14 double-clicks for the resources of the Mabari chest plate), you can make the pause for adding the resources shorter, but then you might need to add a 5th tool and macro part for it.

This can work for ANY crafting profession, just edit the schematic number to the number of the item you want to grind, and edit the pause times to fit the time needed to craft the item.

In using this macro my efficiency doubled from 2 crafting stations to 4 at once, and in turn doubled my XP granted over time.

Happy grinding ,and personal thanks to Jaato for saving me several hours and providing me with the above information.
