Picking up??

Featured Replies

Going to be mining and smithing 30k iron into knives. Should I pick them up or no? I am mostly training at dust devils where the accumulator wont work, or places like that. Thanks

I'd pick them up, that way you can stretch them to the max.

They won't last too long if you don't pick them up. You'll use them up in about 10-15 hours...which is a complete waste of money.

... into knives. Should I pick them up or no?...

 

If the portion of knives that you pick up is "p"

 

then 1/(1-p) is the amount of throws that you can get out of them.

 

 

 

So if you pick up 50% of them, p=0.50 and 1/(1-0.5) = 2 throws for each

 

If you pick up 66.6% of them, p=0.666 and 1/(1-0.66) = 3 ''

 

If you pick up 75% of them, p=0.75 and 1/(1-0.75) = 4 ''

 

If you pick up 80% of them, p=0.80 and 1/(1-0.80) = 5 ''

 

 

 

So, for example, if you picked up 75% of them then

 

you can throw each one 4 times before it's gone.

 

That means that you can get 4x the exp out of them.

 

 

 

Now, level exp roughly doubles every 7 levels so 4x exp

 

can earn you an extra 14 levels in your training with

 

no extra cost. (Well, it does take a bit longer)

 

 

 

Hope this helps

Picking up is so annoying. i would just go somewhere ava works.

Or just switch it up

 

half with ava and half with knives
