I've been away for a long time and never had the stamina or patience to grind myself all the way up to MDE, but now that I'm back I kinda wanted to get there if only just to not have it nagging at me. Tried setting up the macros from the guide last night and couldn't seem to get them to work for some reason. Not sure if I just made some little mistake, or maybe something is different about how these macros can or do work since that guide was written. Any help to point me in the right direction is appreciated. And yes I know about the standard advice - "Grinding to MDE isn't the best way to be one" but I've got 4-3-1-4 and have been a DE (though on hiatus) for longer probably than 60% posting here so I have some clue about my profession. Anyway I'm doing this just to get it, not to proclaim to the world I'm the best MDE or anything.

i used the macros that are on the guide.. they work well!
u need 2 remember a couple of things-
1. i think they are case sensetive
2. the big problem is 2 find the schematic number.. the AFU is around 60-90. thats for a M-artisan and 2114 DE.
if u cant find it just go from 1 till u get there 
good luck!

Pretty sure I got all the Caps correct as far as case sensitive in the macros, but can always give them a look again for any typos of any kind. And yes I did find the right schematic# for me ( is 094 and I searched around that area so it didn't take too long to find it)

basic macro:
(put the macro in the f1 box, then but the tools in the boxes beside it)
/ui action toolbarSlotXX; (replace XX with the toolbar number)
/sel XXX; (replace XXX with the schematic number)
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 2;
.
.(make as many as u need, but u need same amount of tools as u have macros)
.
/ui action toolbarSlot00; (this loops it)

Thanks, I can already see a few differences in your macro compared to the one in the guide I was copying off of(the one stuck at the top of these forums 
)so hopefully that will fix it.

You actually dont need the schematic number for this macro. This macro will save you time every time you level up in your skill. The tool will load the same schematic that you just finished crafting each time. Just start the crafting tool before you run the macro. When you start the tool, select your item and go into resource add screen, then close the craft tool and run your macro. Also, being near a crafting station will have no bearing on this code so feel free to craft wherever you like. It has worked for me to grind out Artisan, architect, tailor, shipwright, and several others.
Macro Name: Craft1 (Craft2, Craft3, etc.)
/ui action toolbarSlot00; (Start on an empty pane, top left)
/pause 6; (this allows time to add resources- make longer for complex items)
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice noitem;
/createprototype practice noitem;
/pause 8; (used to delay starting next crafting tool)
/macro craft2;
/ui action toolbarSlot00; (Start on an empty pane, top left)
/pause 6; (this allows time to add resources- make longer for complex items)
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice noitem;
/createprototype practice noitem;
/pause 8; (used to delay starting next crafting tool)
/macro craft2;

Double clicking the resources to fill the slots is faster than dragging them.
Just my two credits.

Well I got it all worked out and working last night. Seems the macro can be picky possibly if your capitalization isn't consistent with the 3 repeated commands for next crafting stage. And did somebody recommend dragging the resources? Didn't think so, plus I've double clicked them to load since the beginning of my crafting life anyway.
:edit: Oh and I grinded up to 4-3-3-4 last night so MDE is in sight
