Note
You'll need more than 200k in resources - just did the math. But it's still pretty cheap. Also, the timers for cooldown are taken into account in the Auto-it script.


What?!
So I called this the Last Crafting Macro for Grinding You'll Ever Need because, well, it is. I left it on over-night and ground out 15 levels in 7 hours (with no ent buff) using around 42k of 200k in Copper Resources.

There are very little start-up costs for this (you only have to buy bulk of one resource) and there is less chance of getting caught (your mouse isn't moving, you're just pressing numbers and left clicking (or so it would appear).


Make sure that:
[ ] Commands can be fired from the toolbar


I used:
[ ] No Ent Buff (becomes pointless if you're going to be doing this for 6+ hours

What you'll need:
[ ] 6 Crafting Tools
[ ] 200k Copper (any kind)
[ ] 2 Macros (one for crafting, one for anti-afk)
[ ] http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

Set-up:
[ ] Put Tools in Slots 1-6
[ ] Put Crafting Macro in Slot 7
[ ] Fire off anti-afk Macro
[ ] Run Script

Before Running Script:
[ ] Open a crafting session
[ ] Hover mouse over Reverse Engineering Tool, double click
[ ] On next screen, make sure mouse is hovering over your Copper resource
[ ] Move the windows if necessary so that when you go from the first screen to the second, you don't have to move your mouse to have it hovering over your resources.

Immediately after setting up mouse cursor:
[ ] Alt-tab, Windows key, Program Files, Autoit, Run Script.
[ ] In the Open Script window, Shift+Tab to move selection to top window, select script, alt+tab back into game. (This is done so that the mouse stays in the exact position we placed it in earlier.)
[ ] Let it run.

Anti-Afk Macro:
[ ] Options > AFK > Turn off Automatic AFK

Macro Name: afk

WEnd

What it's doing:
[ ] Pressing the appropriate keys for the the tools
[ ] Double-clicking at current position the appropriate amount of times
[ ] Firing next crafting stages with prototype (no items are made)
[ ] Cycle

Why it's good:
[ ] No mouse movement
[ ] Easier to exit Script when necessary since the only thing it's doing is just pressing 1-7 and left clicking. (Just alt-tab out of SWG, right click on the icon in the toolbar and select "Exit".
[ ] Go live your life again while you grind out the most tedious and boring part of SWG's Grinding History!

Other information:
Seen this somewhere else? That's because I wrote it and posted it elsewhere as well. Just putting it here in case some of you don't have access to other sites like these.

Can members say yay or nay to this being moved to a confirmed section.

i have to say nay, theres lots of crafting macros all over the place and this one seems more complicated and levels at a much slower speed, with most of them you can make 90 in just 2-3 hours. rather complicated so i have to say nay

not trying to cause any friction, but what guide is there that levels you to 90 trader in 2-3 hours?

None - there is no way to level to 90 on a trader in 2-3 hours. The fastest known grind right now is gungan heads which takes an assload of resources and still takes a couple of days.

You really should add a pause statement to all your autoit macros.

You friggin' dolts should quit naying a submission because you don't like it . . .

Check it out:

Yay = What the poster said is accurate
Nay = What the poster said is INaccurate.

Not:

Yay = I like what the poster said and it benefits me personally
Nay = I don't like what the poster said or I have no need for it

Geez, I'm friggin' sick of this crap. Follow the friggin rules.

But uh, that's a yay for me . . .

QFE

Yay

It works as described. It is a bit slow, but a breeze to setup and run

500 to you and moved to confirmed

assuming u have all the resources , u can grind an arch to 90 within 16 hrs if u stay at it, manually.

use the enter key with ur left hand while using the mouse with the right hand

no keymap changes, no auto it.

takes me 10 min per level. i posted my method months ago.

Hmm this doesn't work for me even if I click the 6th crafting tool first it stops after Your already in a crafting session or Output hopper message you need to go into more detail...

Try the one I posted in the submissions forum. It's auto setup and works well. No one has tried it to give me any yays. lol

WEll bump your submission

Also is this one nerfed?

hitting enter dont work for crafting u have to manualy click
next" "proceed" ect cant just hit enter

i smell a liar
