Yup and it’s admirable that Miqo works so hard. I don’t even know, what I would do without Miqo in terms of crafting anymore. Just wasted around 3 million gil, trying to craft a nightsteel frying pan for my culinarian, breaking 2 and crafting one NQ because I was using the wrong macro, while Miqo could have simply calculated all stuff itself >_>

A bit irrelevant but honestly, I do not trust Miqo to solve my high tier crafts, it seems to do bad even with recommended settings while static macros work far better (and faster/less steps).
Miqobot solver never failed me a craft, always HQ, and I just have minimum required meld with CP capped.
Sometimes when I do high tier potions or food and I start with no HQ, 1% of those might end up NQ when RNG is pure evil, but really not an issue.
For high tier gear I always start with some HQ, so Miqobot solver never fails, it’s really a crazy work of art software algorithm.
I took a short break from the game, so if any of the below does not reflect the current state of Miqobot, I apologize. That said…
I do the same. In the past, I haven’t given it a chance for two reasons, one practical and one lazy: Firstly, since I can’t see Miqobot’s proposed solution before it is executed, I can’t verify against any sims (and since it operates determinisitcally on some branches, I couldn’t do that anyways), so in my mind I therefore potentially stand to lose valuable mats; secondly, I don’t feel like waiting for Miqobot to crunch the numbers every time I pull up a new craft, especially when it’s one I’ve done before at the same stats I presently have, when I could just use a set rotation.
The caveat to this is the admittedly painful process of programming in my rotations in the required format of a long comma-delimited string, which is prone to initial transcription error. If we could save rotations Miqobot has previously used (which I believe has been asked before, and I don’t remember the explanation given as to why that was impossible/extremely difficult to implement), or we had a better interface for entering custom rotations, it would be a non-issue.
I’m sure there’s a reason that we have to tell Miqobot the hotkeys we want used, as opposed to telling it the *abilities* we want used and having it execute them directly (which it already does when computing its own rotations), but I don’t know what that reason is.
By way of a parting comment, I don’t mean for any of the above to indicate that I don’t like Miqobot, or am not grateful for the benefits it provides us. I’m a happy repeat subscriber. 🙂
EDIT: If there’s a better way to run custom rotations, I would love to hear it. I rely on using custom rotations in the Solver, as opposed to keying macro hotkeys from a Scenario, as I very much like the Solver’s ability to stop every now and again to repair.

The ability to import/store rotations from ingame macros and use them in scenarios would be a GODSEND.

So I did a test with these mats:
and Miqobot with these settings:
and (after 8 and a half minutes of calculating), it made the item with 98% HQ (It HQ’d).
I’m impressed, and won over. I’ll probably use Miqobot for crafting after all. I think that if I had let it do 2:1 CP (ETA 23 minutes), it would have done 100% HQ.

The thing with the crafting solver is, that when I calculate things. It takes ages, as you said. ~8 Minutes.
My buff food expires… thats my main concern, why I dont use miqobot for high level crafts. I use it when I need to mass craft HQ things, like buff food for crafters. Matcha and the Tea thingy and also for scrips.
@miqobot
Could it be possible to let the crafting solver calculate with pre-selected buff food and when it finished calculating, that miqo uses it and then starts the craft?Thank you everyone for your feedback very much!
