I'm a novice weaponsmith and i keep hearing about people mastering it in like 2 days my question is HOW DO YOU DO IT?

Thank you, FuzzyTeddy

First of all you need alot of steel, a good macro, and alot of patience... and hopefully no carpal tunnel because after you reach Master you will need surgery

The idea is to set up a macro so that all you have to do is double click the steel in your list. The fastest way to master is to make Projectile Rifle Barrels. Here is the macro most peole use:

Preperation.

First of all you need to place some weapon crafting tools on your toolbar. For this macro use F1 - F4. I usually place a link to my macro on F5 for easy access.

You need to find the correct number for your Projectile Rifle Barrel Schematic. It's different at different skill levles. Get the right number by counting from the first schematic down to the PRB. Once you find this number enter it in the "selectDraftSchematic" line in place of my 166.

You may need to adjust the "pause 3" line to the speed of your pc/connection. Lag sometimes makes this macro more trouble than it's worth if your pause is too short.

The Macro.

/ui Action toolbarSlot00;
/selectDraftSchematic 166;
/pause 3;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 3;
/ui Action toolbarSlot01;
/selectDraftSchematic 166;
/pause 3;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 3;
/ui Action toolbarSlot02;
/selectDraftSchematic 166;
/pause 3;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 3;
/ui Action toolbarSlot03;
/selectDraftSchematic 166;
/pause 3;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;

It may take you a few tries to get the hang of it but pretty soon you will be on your way. Once the macro goes through a full cycle just hit F5 to continue. Some people make a loop so their macro just keeps repeating. But that didn't work very well for me.

Anyway that's the scoop. As long as you have a plethora of steel your good to go. Have fun clicking

u start out with a pistol barrel to craft I think... when you get firearms crafting 1 u can make rifle barrels for over 100exp, pistols give like 60 some exp

At the novice level, I have found that the metal staff is the best xp getter. I get about 92 xp or so with that, and you can use any type of metal you want. I'm not sure why people prefer the barrels at novice, other than there are 2 fewer boxes to fill in in the schematic, even though you can use the same resource in all 4 boxes of the metal staff. Anyway, that's what I did to get away from the novice box.

I have to say, the macro *really* helps. I grinded up 0-3-0-4 WS without using a macro, and have spent the better part of 2 months so far. With the macro, I can grind a 10k pile of steel down to nothing in a matter of less than an hour.

I have seen this also with using the macro. The exp gets to a certain level then stops. At the point it did this to me I was qualified for a couple of skill levels of WS. I went to trainer and trained skills. Then started macro and grinding with exp being awarded again. Not sure if it is a bug or was intended butit makes a player stop and go get trained instead of just getting all the exp then training the whole profession at one time.

I did it by making metal staffs and going up munitions line till I could make Heavy Warheads then that is all I made till I was master.
