Im sure soemone else has done this before, although i just wanted to post for anyone who was like i was before today.

i was using a macro that used 4 crafting tools before, and had a pause of soemthing liek 8+2 seconds. i sat, ground it out, and sometimes half dozed off in the process. its boring theres, no getting around it. but i decied there had to be a more efficient way.

i discovered that i could stick those compnents into their slots in a lot less time than the alloted 8 seconds, so i decided maybe....5 was better. i did this, and decided--hey, wh not use two macros? i made another 4 stations, and another macro. i now crank out twice as much with twice as much exp in jsut 8 more seconds than my previous method.

like i said, im sure most people know, but for the youngins, dont be fooled by premade macros you see. if you have any questions, let me know. i also crunch a lot of numbers:

previous method in 10 minutes of crafting:6,300 xp points

new method of crafting in 10 minutes: 10,500 xp points

now maybe your macro doesnt use that much time as my first one did, but i know most are like mine with the 8+2 second pause. if this helped anyone im very excited. if not, tolerate my banter, im killing time waiting for my farms to get flora.

The fastest i have been able to Open Add and Close the window is 2 seconds, and thats cause of Lag for me, It takes roughly 2 seconds total time from when the window opens to when the last reasouce i add is loaded, else you get that anoying "no craft protoype" the kit still goes but you have to close the window.

All and in i get 105 xp ever 4 seconds.

For the best performance, pick a low lag zone. Anchorhead is horrible. Actually, all the starter planets are not good. Endor is nice and empty. I had my macro down to 4 + 2 delay. It always choked on the first machine, but after that it ran fine. On Tatooine I had 5+2.

I found out about an external macro program, that I've been using for a while. I don't even have to click resources, it doesn't log me out for being away from the computer either. So I just set it to go overnight and BAM 110,000XP over night without touching the computer.

could you possibly post your macro......i tried one that someone gave me a while backa nd couldnt get it to work....thanks a lot....

I'll post the website that I learned about it from when I get home. It's in my bookmark and I'm at work right now.

F.Y.I., using a 3rd party program is a no-no and I believe would be a bannable offense. If you can do something using the tools available within the game, while it may be 'frowned' upon, like AFK survey sampling, it's still technically within the rules. Anything that you have to use an outside program to do, however, is not.

ouch nm guys

Echinacea has a good point and I don't want to do anything that will get my account banned. I'm going to switch back to using the good old macro that's been posted around here.

Can i get a posting of this macro or any macro that people use. The one i am using is not working. Here is the one I am using:

/ui action toolbarSlot00;

/selectdraftSchematic00;

/pause5;

/nextCraftingStage;

/nextCraftingStage;

/createPrototype practice noitem;

/createPrototype practice noitem;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

heck yea!! any crafting macro would be appreciated !!

thx in advance
