Thread: macroing what schematics give the best exp?
Been grinding on exo-protein wafers for 31 general crafting exp per unit made.
Pretty good considering the materials required. Any other suggestions?
Easier the better...
What do YOU use?
Find yourself a nice high-concentration urban source of metals - any kind of metal will do. Then throw yourself into a surveying macro for a long time, getting trained when you have the chance.
After that, use the metals to make Mineral Survey Devices for 27 metal each - 54 experience per. You'll want to use a crafting macro on this one, as you need to make about 1100 of these bad boys to get the job done - about 30,000 metal harvested(including failures)to make it into the most demanding elite classes on practice mode.
The other option, if you can do a lot of hunting as well as your normal crafting duties, is to simply acquire tons of bones and hides, pick up Scout Novice, and make basic camps at 10h5b each for 30xp each. This is probably the easier way in purely material terms, but the harder way with respect to clicks and time because it requires over 2,100 different item assemblies...
At verious stages over Eng II you recieve pieces of bone armor to craft
Here's mine - beware, this takes a LOT of metal. What you're doing is making crafting tools...
Crafting tools in slots 10 and 11.
Macro in toolbar in slot 9.
My Mineral Survey Tool isschematic #23.

All you have to do is click to fill in the resources on the tools. It takes 27 metal per tool, and you're generating two in parallel, so 54 metal per cycle. This will go through a stack of 1,000 units of metal in less than 7 minutes, and generate about 2100 general crafting XP.
When you run out of resources, just type /dump to end the macro.
Oh, and do not run this next to a crafting station, only away from them. Otherwise it breaks.
