M6c_Magnum Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Money isn't really a big problem, and I want to get 48-50ish crafting (and I'm currently at level 29)... I've looked into some ways and here's what I've found so far, but I need more information: Spinning - Flax: 65ea Bowstrings: 150ea Amount to 50: 5,889 Total time: I have heard you can spin about 1000 every 65 minutes or so... 5,889/1000 = 5.889 * 65 = 382.8 / 60 = 6 hours 23 minutes Profit: 500,565 gp Exp/hour: 13.8k Silver - Tiara mould - 1gp Silver ore - ??? how much is this? Amount to 50: 1,683 Total time: No idea - when you go to make tiaras, and you have 27 silver ore in your inventory and the mould, do all of the tiaras get made instantly at the furnace, or one at a time? If instant, I'm guessing like 50seconds per trip? If not, then like 2 minutes? If instant, it would be 63 trips at 50 seconds = 63 * 50 = 3150 / 60 = 52.5 minutes If it's not instant, it would be 63 * 120 = 7560 / 60 = 2 hours 6 minutes Profit: I don't know how much silver ore costs, but if it is 500each, then that would be negative 841,500 gp but add the sale price of tiara (1gp or so? lol) Exp/hour: If it takes 53 minutes, that's 100k/hour If it takes 126 minutes, thats 42k/hour Leather - Hard Leather: 130ea + 1.25 hour (to tan 2k) Amount to 50: 2,524 Total time: No idea... how long does it take to string a full inventory of hard leather bodies?, but whatever that is, add 1.25 hours for the time to tan the leather Profit: negative 328,120 Exp/hour: I need more info. OKAY, sorry that is really confusing, but I need the questions in bold answered... I was thinking of it like this: Obviously, the spinning flax has the most profit (no loss of profit), but it takes WAY longer than tiaras and hard leather. It takes 382 minutes to do the flax, but only 53 or 126 minutes for the tiaras... Assuming 126 for tiaras, that would mean I would finish 256 minutes faster than with flax, and the question is: can I make back the negative profit in that time? 256 minutes to make 841,500 gp + match the profits of 500,565 gp from flax = 1342065 / 256 = 5242 That means, if I can make 5242 GP /minute, the tiara method would be better... thats 315k/hour.... Assuming it takes 53 for tiaras, I would have 329 minutes to spare... 1342065 / 329 = 4079 gp/minute to match, or 245k/hour............ So, as you can see, I really need the bold questions to be filled in and accurate so that I can make a correct judgement on which method to use!

CastleWars3 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Before i became a mem, i used to craft hardleather bodies from 28-40, in mem, i made and enchanted dual rings and sold em for 2-4kea :thumbsup: good luck :XD: 99 Fletching - 08/14/08Fire Cape - 3/7/09Quest Cape - 12/29/0999 Defense - 3/17/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6c_Magnum Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Ahh, I forgot about gems (well forgot to write about them up above) Gems - Uncut Sapphire: How much are these each (GE price)? Amount to 50: 1,767 Total time: This would probably be pretty fast, actually, probably the same exact speed of hard leather bodies? Maybe faster because you only need a chisel + gems, not thread + needle + leather... ?? How long does it take to cut a full inventory of gems, about? Profit: What is the price of a cut sapphire? How much can a cut sapphire sell for? Profit would be 1767 * price of uncut minus 1767 * price of cut.... Exp/hour: need more information How much do rubies cost uncut? How much do they sell for cut? How much do emeralds cost uncut? How much do they sell for cut? If anyone is at the GE and could check prices, that'd be really helpful as I cant go to the GE right now... ??

M6c_Magnum Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Thanks Juader, prices have been updated... actually made spinning BS an even worse possibility 8-) [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkmanX99 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I would go with BS. The others lose so much money. You make a nice 500k profit (if your calculations are correct). It may take a little longer, but at least you wont lose close to 1 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6c_Magnum Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Yea... but it takes a TON longer to spin BS than it does to do other things... I'm thinking I could potentially make BACK the money I lost in the time I saved... think of it like this except not as super exaggerated: Option 1: Time: 5 hours to complete task Profit: 10k Option 2: Time: 1 hour to complete task Profit: you lose 50k. Obviously, option 2 would be better because in those 4 hours you save, you can make back 50k easily (probably) [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
