Step 2: Set Recipe Parameters
Enter the recipe details including level, difficulty, quality requirement, and durability. These values determine the challenge level and help the calculator provide precise recommendations for your crafting rotation.
Step 3: Plan Your Rotation
Use the action buttons to build your crafting sequence. The calculator will show real-time updates to your progress, quality, durability, and CP consumption. Watch the HQ chance percentage increase as you optimize your rotation.
Step 4: Optimize and Export
Use the "Optimize Rotation" feature to get AI-powered suggestions, or export your perfected rotation as an in-game macro. The calculator ensures your macro will work reliably in Final Fantasy XIV.
Crafting Tips and Strategies
🔨 Progress Actions
Focus on progress actions like Basic Synthesis and Careful Synthesis to complete your craft. Careful Synthesis is more CP-efficient but slower, while Basic Synthesis is faster but less reliable.
✨ Quality Building
Use touch actions during Good and Excellent conditions for maximum quality gains. Great Strides combined with Byregot's Blessing provides the highest quality increase in the game.
🛡️ Durability Management
Monitor your durability carefully. Use Master's Mend to restore 30 durability, or Manipulation for gradual durability recovery over multiple steps. Always ensure you have enough durability to complete your craft.
⚡ CP Efficiency
Manage your CP wisely. Higher-level crafts require careful CP planning. Use CP-efficient actions like Hasty Touch when possible, and consider food buffs to increase your total CP pool.
💡 Pro Tips
- Always start with Muscle Memory for efficient early progress
- Use Innovation before quality-building phases for 50% efficiency bonus
- Save Great Strides for your final quality action
- Practice rotations on lower-level recipes before attempting high-end crafts
- Consider specialist actions if you're a specialist in that crafting class
- Use HQ materials to boost your starting quality percentage
Understanding Crafting Mechanics
Progress System
Progress represents how close you are to completing the synthesis. Your Craftsmanship stat determines how much progress each synthesis action provides. You must reach 100% progress to successfully complete any craft.
Quality and HQ Chance
Quality affects your chance of creating a High Quality (HQ) item. Higher quality percentages result in better stats for equipment, higher experience gains, and increased rewards for leve quests and deliveries.
Durability System
Each action consumes durability. Most actions use 10 durability, but some special actions use different amounts. If durability reaches zero before you complete the craft, the synthesis fails.
Condition Effects
Crafting conditions affect the efficiency of your actions:
- Normal: Standard efficiency (most common)
- Good: 1.5x efficiency for touch actions (25% chance)
- Excellent: 4x efficiency for touch actions (10% chance)
- Poor: 0.5x efficiency for touch actions (only after Excellent)
