258 needles are needed. You max at about 5.5 needles per hour. It'd take you 46.9 hours to get all the needles. However, you'll save 26 hours of crafting. So a net loss of 20.9 hours, but you'll save 41.6m. If you make 2m/hour or more, don't bother with needles. 2m/hour is VERY doable with his stats.
Worse... Minigame... Ever! *worst *activity And I actually really enjoy it. The only part I dislike is playing with crappy teammates. However after a while you figure out who can and can't play the game.
I just read this guide that said you can make about 450m from 1-99 crafting. I think it's probably more like 400m, but it's close enough for this, right?
You probably don't have very high LSP. Here are a few things to consider: How many people were at the mass? Did anyone get any hilts, chestplates, or tassets?
No offense as I am sure that report is very detailed(I saw your other works), but you are going to get trolled for that. :| Yeah, I'd love to read your experiment but I'd rather not pay for membership to your site. I probably know most of the information on it already.
Claws > BGS. You'll want the claw specs to hit him down lots once he goes berserk. Nomad already has pitifully low defence, I think I hit a 0 on him once.
