Ok, the new recipes have some great effects, but every other one needs components, making hard-core grinding difficult. So you either have a factory churning out crates (costing money and power for items that are going to be thrown away in practice mode) or make each component by hand, losing that "zone" you get into when you making item after identical item.
Well, Ithorian Mist seems to be the still-reigning xp champion, but the container and alcohol components sat there taunting me. Well, I decided that a macro could whip it into line, it's pasted below. It requires 6 crafting tools (for simplicity's sake), two cycles of glass->alcohol->mist. I have them placed on F7 through F12. For my character, schematic 6 is small glass, 30 is alcohol, and 38 is mist. You'll probably need to determine what your numbers are. Start a crafting session, and on the schematic selection screen, type "/sell ##" and adjust the numbers to match your setup.
Some tips. When inserting components, go from right to left and bottom-to-top. This way when the component is removed from the resource list, you aren't clicking on the wrong thing. Starting the macro when you have a couple each of alcohol and glasses gets you going quicker. Keep as few resources in your main inventory as possible, to reduce the amount of time you go hunting for what to click.
This is the minimum time for six tools, if you aren't clicking quickly enough, or you have lag to deal with increase the mist time first, to make sure the components are being created soon enough to use.

While I am not on TC I want to thank Kriles for posting this. I am sure I will need it once the changes go live (ok, I am a bit slow getting chef skills - blame the insane prices people pay for armor). And my (still non-existent) chef-hat off to all of you on TC, paving the way for the rest of us.
