Auxesia Master Crafting

[RSS News]

I'm finishing up my master crafting points, here's my notes for anyone starting out:

How they work

• Each class has 3 master missions, all of them are always available after you finish the relic
• One of the three always has a star by it, that gives a +20% bonus to master points
• The bonus star bounces around randomly after you complete a master recipe for that class (all other classes keep their bonus star in the same place)
• You're crafting collectibles:
  • 50% quality = 100 points
  • 60% quality = 300 points
  • 85% quality = 700 points
  • each 1% after 85% = +20 points up to 100% = 1,000 points
• There are two checkpoints that extend your time/abilities/multiplier
• You have to reach the 1st checkpoint to get any rewards
• The first two mission checkpoints are at 1,000 and 2,500, the 3rd mission checkpoints are at 2,000 and 3,500
• Cosmocredits, Auxesia Credits, and Auxesia Exploration Tokens give the reward listed on the mission selection
• Tool Mastery Points are the amount listed for hitting the first checkpoint, and scale up at that same rate - 3.57x for 1st mission, 2.89x for 2nd, 3.04x for 3rd mission

1st Mission - Start / 1st Checkpoint / 2nd Checkpoint

• Time: 5 min / +3 min / +5 min
• Material Miracle: 2 / +2 / +2
• Multiplier: 100% / 150% / 200%

2nd Mission - Start / 1st Checkpoint / 2nd Checkpoint

• Time: 4 min / +3 min / +6 min
• Stellar Steady Hand: 4 / +2 / +6
• Multiplier: 100% / 150% / 200%

3rd Mission - Start / 1st Checkpoint / 2nd Checkpoint

• Time: 7 min / +2½ min / +5½ min
• Material Miracle: 2 / +1 / +3
• Multiplier: 100% / 150% / 200%

Strategy

1st mission sucks, it's not worth doing for points with a macro. You will end up with <85% quality for 300 points fairly often

3rd mission has only normal/good omen/good conditions, so you get lots of goods. As a specialist, split your macro before BB and fish for a good condition with Careful Observation, you'll get it over 90% of the time. However, even with specialist and the bonus star it's not quite as good as the 2nd mission

2nd Mission

• 5,633 Craftsmanship lets you complete progress for 15 CP and 30 durability
  • Veneration > Stellar Steady Hand > 3x Rapid Synthesis
• You get 12 Stellar Steady Hand, and you can do 12 synths in 13 minutes
• To macro Stellar Steady Hand (or Material Miracle), it's:
  • /ac "Duty Action II" <wait.2>
• Main Macro should target 19,006 quality as fast as possible (86%, 720 points, that guarantees hitting 2nd checkpoint after 3 recipes for the 200% multiplier)
• You'll average around 60k-70k Tool Mastery Points per mission

Slight tweak

• Use a max quality macro for the first two synths to try and 100% them both, getting you to the higher multipliers faster
• Use a smaller macro for the last 10 synths, it only needs 18,785 quality (85% hits that major jump from 300 points to 700)

Fishing for the Bonus Star

• I tried this for a bit but it doesn't feel like it's worth it, except when my food and drink are down below 5 minutes and I'm going to stop when they do
• If the middle mission isn't the one with the star, craft to 1,000 points and report it, hoping the star jumps to the middle one
• Use Max quality macro and you might hit 1,000 in one synth
• If not, you'll have 700+ points, so do a macro that gets you 13,260 points (60% HQ for 300 points)
