For control, you want dat Hasty Touch, Steady Hand 2, and Tricks of the Trade. Progression you still need Steady Hand 2 as well as lvl 50 Weaver as well.

All classes to 15 are a must because you get valuable abilities all around for every class at 15 that will really help you. From there you can ask yourself what you'll be looking into more in terms of leveling.

Here are some macros I use that help me since I more control then progression oriented.

Note: When using macros, make sure to count the average steps and how many steps of what are being used so you dont botch a synthesis on accident.

This one was originally for making HQ Mythril ingots at level 50 with some materia melds. Non HQ mats used.

/macroicon "Manipulation"
/ac "Inner Quiet"
/wait 1.5
/ac "Steady Hand II"
/wait 2.0
/ac "Waste Not"
/wait 2.5
/ac "Hasty Touch"
/wait 2.5
/ac "Hasty Touch"
/wait 2.5
/ac "Hasty Touch"
/wait 2.5
/ac "Hasty Touch"

Then part two.

/macroicon "Manipulation"
/ac "Byregot's Blessing"
/wait 2.5
/ac "Standard Synthesis"

That would pretty much give me HQ ingots every time, and works for other things as well. Then I have just a straight mini Hasty Touch macro.

/macroicon "Manipulation"
/ac "Steady Hand II"
/wait 2.5
/ac "Hasty Touch"
/wait 2.5
/ac "Hasty Touch"
/wait 2.5
/ac "Hasty Touch"

Hope this all helps!

So from this I guess, I should first get all the crafts to 15, then Weaver to 50 for a universally useful skill and the ability make (I assume) better looking clothes as well as maybe, just maybe transpose the look of mage robes onto Kurt and his Axe.Â

Now what I'm curious about is what is progress and control? Am I correct in thinking that progress is a more 'hasty' I suppose method that carries a chance of 'synthesis fail'? Â While control is a more steady, although slower method?

The macros posted I assume are for Armorsmiths?

Macros are for everyone as long as you have those skills. But you can just substitute the /ac 's with whatever you currently have like Basic Synthesis instead of Standard Synthesis. Progress is how much you synthesize with each step (also known as Craftsmanship), and Control goes towards how easily you can HQ an item.

Personally, this is how I did it because I liked making HQ items for the extra EXP during crafting plus the double EXP bonus you get towards the leves.

Ingenuity: BSM lvl 15. Lowers recipe level for five steps which is really nice for getting synthesis that you barely qualify for. Its a buff towards your craftsmanship.

Tricks of the Trade: ALC lvl 15. Need this, need this, NEED THIS. It helps you get back 20 CP and is really nice for just about anything you do crafting wise.

I could go on and on, but the condense version is like what others said: Get everything to 15, and level CRP and WVR to 50. Then go from there. GSM is a good money maker to follow up with.
