Hi folks,
Long time player returned after a rest
I've picked up crafting my Armorer class, all going well so far. I have been carefully upping the item I con/decon to ensure I am creating the best item I am optimal at. But I twigged today to the fact that I am using more bars for forms as I go up in optimal levelling. Here is an example: at level 71 ARM I checked the following:
Item # items bars / item total bars xp xp / bar
Chestguard 50 12 600 71000 118.3333333
Gauntlets 50 8 400 59300 148.25
Belt 50 6 300 46100 153.6666667
I just got to optimal on Chestguards, but by my calculations I am getting less xp per bar because the items I am making at higher levels consume more bars. Even taking into account the number of bars I get back, the rate is the same - crafting Belts gives me better xp per bar than crafting chestguards. Because Belts use half the number of bars, for the same 600 bars that I can use to create Chestguards, I would get 92,200 xp for two loads of belts instead of 71,000 xp for one load of chestguards.
Can anyone confirm/deny my summation? Am I better off making the highest level item I am optimal at that uses the least amount of resources to create?
EDIT: Aha but there is the diminishing xp to take into account... at level 72, my xp returned for belts was 44300 which makes the new xp/bar 148. Still better value though at the moment..
