I'm having the same problem that a few others appear to be having whereby the crafter gets to learning mode, then sits there doing nothing. I've just picked up XU this week along with the EQ2Crafter 2.5 so my guess is that I'm right in the middle of the compatibility problem between the updated XU and EQ2Crafter 2.5. DOH! Stupid Brain!
If you're curious, here is a summary of how I've been using (or trying ot use as the case may be.) the bot.
** My OS is XP Pro SP2 (all updates)
1. launch Exunleashed
2. Force plugin updates - shows Crafter & Service are ok.
3. Verified EQ2 is selected.
4. Press play - launches EQ2 fine.
5. I select crafting tool - Kitchen.
6. I choose recipe, then press Create.
7. I lock the crafting window.
8. I bring up persona window.
9. I bring up EQ2Crafter and select config.
10 I place yellow box over fuel component in the crafter window - it works fine.
11 I reset all buffs.
-- Note: primary hot bar has #1 - 3 slots with desired buffs loaded.
12 I hit the start crafting button - it enters learning mode and Yellow oval is now around the begin button.
13 I move mouse to inside yellow oval (but I don't click) - enters learning mode.
-- At this point, nothing else happens. It doesnt start automatically. It just sits there.
-- I tried clicking the begin button, crafted a few items hitting the buffs to counter but it never stops learning.
-- EQ2Crafter UI displays buff reset tab after I hit begin crafting button.
-- Stats reveal nothing has been created.
-- EQ2Crafter says Status: Ready.
** Norton AV is disabled.
** No SW firewall installed, only HW firewall (linksys).
Looking forward to the updated Crafter. It looks pretty cool, and looks like it will be a great asset to my game play. I guess I'll spend some time trying to get the harvest bot working while I wait for the update.
