well, i just hit novice WS, and i read to sue a crafting macro with metal staves is the best way to go from there...
so i got the macro and finally found the right schematic number(is there an easy way to do this without guess and check?), so the macro start up goes to the resource screeen, i put resources in , then after the 5 second pause, it just closes everything?
any help would be much appreciated thanx

The fastest grind up is to make Heavy warheads, but some of the resources are rare and expensive. Try doing adv. pistol barrels instead..less resources needed.
To figure out which draft schematic is which....open the datapad and click the draft schematic tab. You may want to be near the crafting station you will use during the grind as it will affect what you can craft. Start at the top left and count across. They are numbered 00,01,02,03...
Just count however far down you need.
Here's a portion of the crafting macro I used for all my crafting grinds:
/ui action toolbarSlot ##;
/sel ##;
/pause #;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/nextC;
/create Prototype Practice No Item;
/create Prototype Practice No Item;
/create Prototype Practice No Item;
/pause 2;
The next line should be the "ui action" line again to open your next crafting tool.
Also, note the caps. and puncuation as it matters.
Hope this helps

Note: You can no longer count the schems on the datapad to get the vumber to use since the datapad is now sorted (I guess if never sort it then it will be fine but my opened sorted). Also, for some reason the schem number seems to shift around. One day the shcem number was 19 and the next day it was somethign else. Had not gained/dropped any skills so it had nothing to do with that.
Also I have noticed that some schems have negative numbers. I could not find proj rifle barrel, found it as schem -1
To find the schem number you need to manually test for it. Do this:
1) open tool (do not select any schem)
2) Write /select 1
3) Schem shows
4) Hit Esc to get back to schem selection screen
5) Use Ctrl-Up to scroll chat box to get /select 1 back, change to next number
Repeat until you find your schem number. Also don't forget that the schem number depends if you are near a crafting station or not. Different numbersfor same schem. To grind heavy warhead you need a private crafting station.

/nextC is broken. Crafting macros dont work any more.
You may have to type out the full text. /nextCraftingStage or something like that, I'd have to check my macro's to give you exact wording on it but find out the full command instead of the shortcut to see if it'll work.

Crafting macros work. I am using one now. But I use the full command.

FYI: You can find the number of a schematic through trial and error without running the macro.
1. Open the crafting tool.
2. type in spatial /selectDraftSchematic ## and hit enter (where ## is the number you hope is correct)
3. see which schematic comes up in the open tool.
4. if the wrong schematic comes up, hit the back button on the tool and repeat step two with another number
I never could get the number by counting schems in the datapad. I always had to guess and the use the above method to zero in on it.
Having to find it this way has always struck me as kind of odd. Each draft schematic in the game really should have a unique unchanging number that identifies it.That number should be the one used by /selectDraftSchematic. The schematic number should be visible in the datapad view of the schematic too.
Something for the crafting revamp of 2007I guess.
