Just a quick note. It appears that Havla is not on Mokia's Pricing guide and it also appears that the values are incorrect in the excel calculator.

Thank you this was very helpful. But I do want to say one thing. I was surfing through the forum looking for good info when I came across the rudest response I had ever seen in my life. I was shocked that someone asked for help and was basically slapped in the face. I understand the person didn't take the time to look at the sticky but people have to remember that not everyone is forum familiar. The respondant could have been more tactful and less insulting. I will leave my comment at that least I say something just as insulting.



Thank you.

Gah i cant get theese Macros to work. can somone plz spell out exactley how the macro should look like from the guide here or another good one tha works. ican put tools in any boxes but preferebly the lower row from 12-23 i suspect is right.



Im working on chef i find crafting very boring (atleast when training) and i am totaly noob when it comes to coding making macros etc. If somone just types it down here exactly as i shall type it in me macro editor i would be very greatful.

What's not working? One reason you can't find an end-all, be-all macro you can paste in is that the draft schematic number is going to be different for everyone.


It's easiest to start with just one section until its debuged. If you put your first tool in the first box of the second row, the macro will look like this:


/ui action toolbarSlot12;
/selectDraftSchematic ##;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;

There is no space between "toolbarSlot" and the number. There is a space between "selectDraftSchematic" and the number. You still have to figure out the draft schematic on your own. Capitalization is important for toolbarSlot (you can't have a lower-case 's').


Once you get that working, paste the macro code multiple times, once for each tool you're using. With the reduced food complexity, you shouldn't need more than four or five. Change the toolbarSlot numbers (so you'd have from 12 to 15 if you use the first four boxes of the bottom row). Finally, to make it repeat end the macro with "/macro MacroName". Or you could use "/ui action toolbarSlot##" and point to a box where you put the macro's icon.


And one thing that I forgot in the FAQ: stopping. If you use the /ui command to repeat the macro, you can break the repeat by switching to another toolbar panel or moving the macro icon to another box. You can also use the "/dump" command, which clears out all paused and queued command. The /dump command is the only way to stop the repeat if you use the "/macro MacroName" method of looping.

It depends on what you're trying to grind. Large glasses give general crafting xp, so you won't make any progress in Chef crafting those. However, they are pretty handy to get from Domestic Arts IV to Novice Chef (which requires 19.2k general crafting xp). Glasses don't give as much xp as harvesters, but the resources are easy to get cheaply and you don't have to sidetrack over to the engineering branch.

Ahh I am novice chef at the moment but am wondering what would be the quickest and cheapest meathod. Is it worth learning surveying skills or buying the resources?

Winnyboy1 - Check the site in my sig for the best way to grind through chef then you can decide weather to buy or harvest your own resources.


GorthA - Check the site in my sig for a very nice crafting macro with detailed information and pictures. I am sure you will get it to work with this site. If not, just PM me and I will help you personally.

Can you please tell me how to make an new crafting macro since they messed with the crafters in the new publish.
For instance... I have

/ui actiontoolbarSlot00; /selectDraftSchematic 22; etc, etc. (which is for a drinking glass, 10 gemstone)

The problem is, and I've checked the macro a dozen times, is when I press F1 to start my macro, it's preparing
it 22 times, instead of loading schematic 22... and by the time it knows to start the crafting tool, it says
there are already too many things in the queue and it enters an endless loop of crafting saying each tool is
already crafting and locks up my game.

PLEASE email me if you know how to fix this since they put out the new publish... [email protected]
I don't check the boards, I just came here for help.

Well, maybe you just mistyped something, butbased on what you posted, that's what I'd expect. If the macro icon is in the box for "F1", then it is in toolbarSlot00. So you hit F1, the first command in the macro is to hit F1, which starts the macro, and it's first command is to hit F1, which starts the macro... And so on and so forth until the game says "enough", cancels those, and all the macros start "unraveling" trying to continue on with the rest of the commands but since you'll have 10-20 instances of the macro all trying to do the same thing at the same time it barfs.


You want the first toolbarSlot command to point to the box with your first crafting tool. At the end of the macro (when you want to repeat) use the toolbarSlot## that the macro's icon is sitting in.
