Any ideas why this macro only chooses charde, no matter what schematic number I use? Thanks

/selectDraftSchematic 75;

/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;

/pause 1;

This is my guide to grinding chef, at least what worked best for me. I gathered this info both from the forums and from personal experience. I'm going to divide this into 4 parts: materials required. grinding survey, grinding to mixology 2, and grinding to Master. Please feel free to use what you need and forget the rest. I will not cover the grind to Novice Chef, because I really don't remember what I did =)

Is there possibly someone out there that knows the grind from Domestic Arts 4 to Novice Chef? I would like to know the schematics, resources and macros to use here.

well, novice chef requires 11k something General Crafting Experience. How much General Crafting Experience was Domestic Arts 4?

For the majority of my general crafting, I used a macro to help me cycle through crafting machines while I put in resources. I made Chemical Survey devices, but any other survey device is fine, so long as it is one of the ones that is 28 or so metal/mineral. Just keep pumping them out(just four double clicks), and you should be done in a short while. But if you have Engineering 3 or 4, I would suggest harvesters.

Roryyyme: Aspireing Master of All that is Artisan

I made Wind Power Generators.
They give about 500 general crafting exp.

I find it pretty hard to collect the right resources for Chef.
Especially the 204k Wheat and the 84k Corn...

Novice Chef requires about 19k Crafting, and Domestic Arts was about 6k I believe. Can someone explain how exactly you use a macro?

Short version

Hit Ctrl-A

Select the macro tab.

Select new macro.

name your macro

choose a symbol

type in the macro text (I am really not a good person to ask if you need help on this part.

Click ok.

The symbol for the new macro should appear in the window. Just click and drag it to your hotkey bar on top, like you would do for any other command. now, when you hit the appropriate F key, your macro will start.

i've been grinding deterium-pyro. this seems to work for me.

great thread, looking forward to my grind

Alright. As my very first post in these forums (and possibly the last, since I already hang out on four forums and really don't have time for more), here's how I grind chef. I put five food/chem crafting tools in slots 1-5 (that is, 00-04). I put the macro below in slot 9 (that is, 08). I find out what number wastril bread (and later Ithorian Mist)is - happens to be 30 for me. I start this macro, which is based on the one at the top of this thread, and some other I've seen on other forums. It will loop until you type /dump and all you have to do is keep clicking on resources. The time alotted for resource clicking is six seconds, this is more than enough, but if you shorten this time, get more crafting tools and add them to the macro - otherwise the macro will catch up with itself and try using tools that are already working.

/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/selectDraftSchematic 30;
/pause 6;

/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/selectDraftSchematic 30;

/nextCraftingStage;

/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/selectDraftSchematic 30;

/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot04;

/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot08;

You might notice it only says "practice no item" on one of the /createPrototype commands - this is because if it says on both, it seems like you don't get the extra % xp. I haven't checked this myself but it's what I heard. This works fine for me, anyway, and I think it probably works for most crafting professions with simple grinding items.

Happy grinding.

I just grinded my way to novice chef as well as bus4 and eng4 by making travel packs. id run a few crafting missions buy my resources and practice. You get about 150 xp per. And if you want to try I sold most of them for about 500 apeice. Also just starting the grind up to master. Wish me luck.

Thank you.

have to put ; ??
