Creating a Crafting Advanced Macro for FFXIV

• For each recipe, find a rotation in https://ffxivteamcraft.com/
• Export the rotation as a crafting macro, note the time length of the macro
• Create the following secondary macro:

For single macro loop:

Note that 71 is the G key, 67 is the C key, and 86 is the V key

/sleep 500
/presskey2 71
/sleep 23000
/sleep 2000
/presskey confirm
/sleep 500
/presskey confirm
/sleep 500
/presskey confirm
/sleep 2500
/presskey2 86

For double macro loop:

/sleep 500
/presskey2 71
/sleep 40000
/presskey2 67
/sleep 13000
/sleep 2000
/presskey confirm
/sleep 500
/presskey confirm
/sleep 500
/presskey confirm
/sleep 2500
/presskey2 86

• Add the length of the first crafting macro into line 3, in milliseconds, and the length of the second crafting macro into line 5
• Bind the looping macro into key V, the first crafting macro into key G and the second crafting macro into key C
• Ensure that the keyboard cursor is appropriately placed in the crafting UI
• To abort the macro, run another user macro, and move the looping macro out of key V OR restart Speeder
• Total length of ancillary actions is 6000 milliseconds. Add all crafting macro lengths and multiply by number of crafts to create a timer for that many seconds.
