hiho hello
Today I'm detailing some macros, 1 from TC user Roo, and 2 of my own.
I'm unsure if I'm allowed to link to the sim on lodestone, but pictures should be okay?
I've melded for a control focus, with craftsmanship in my rings. This is mostly the same as "high tier" melds, however I've kept +2 cp in my chest. The cp meld is not required, it's only my preference.
I didn't do my mh/oh, instead only putting control X, cp X in those, since they were 800g lol...
I'm hoping new green ones will release before I'm forced to upgrade :x
result: 4936 craft, 4813 control, 629 cp base
I will include the min stats as derived by the sim, but plz note that it may be slightly inaccurate, and I can only confirm that it works with my own stats - it will also include food bonuses if they exist.
Although rotations may be of similar step length, the duration can differ from buff (2s) vs action (3s) wait time, so I've included the overall time for comparison's sake.

27-step 72s - Moqueca 2★70d, hq Steak, 1 hq coconut, specialist + 1 delineation This will also work for other food given ~2.4k base qualityIn general, I prefer to put my specialist on alc / cul bc they craft stackable items for all classes, and can also guarantee gemsap hq for the other crafters, so there is no discrepancy in crafting bsm vs arm vs crp etc.

The advantage here is that coconuts are old mats and can be trivially HQ'd via Trained Hand, unlike corn syrup. It's still faster to HQ coconuts than use the 35-step max meld nq rotation (I also lack the ctrl for it).
The delineations are (were?) quite cheap on the marketboard around 200-400g.
It is not worth spending purple scrip on them as the opportunity cost is too high vs materia XI.
But given a 400g upfront cost, and 8s saved by using it, it amounts to 3k gold per minute saved via this method. This may not matter to many ppl, but for bulk crafting it adds up quite quickly. Almost any craft / gather will generate more gil than that in a minute.

Somewhat embarassingly I had figured out this rotation, shared it on discord, n then saw that the same rotation had been updated in the guide folder at some point between yesterday and tonight -- after I'd last checked :[
I guess that's confirmation that it's minmaxed at least?
