Another option which I've been doing is to arbitrage the flax copper / exp, since I can sell the flax for 20, buy the others for less(7/8/9 at the moment), and it's actually better exp since I'm stocking more often and at a higher rate. Depends on your level of activity/gathering level/gear, but worth considering.

If you are selling flax you are dead to the tailor goons and were never giving you superior anything.

Ginseng, Lavender, and Mandrake Root are all in demand right now because of this project. Lavender is (kind of) nice because of its high output slot multiplier, which means you can set it to pick and go away for the better part of an hour (if the garden's high enough level). If you're doing veggie gardens, tomatoes and peppers are pretty much always needed. And if you want to keep levelling alchemy, you can grind up whatever's in the project storage (Wizard Blood Bank). And if you run out of stuff to crush and all your gardens are on cooldown, you can gather mushrooms.

I currently have more herbs than I have time to grind with the extensions I have. I can either grow yet more herbs since I have access to a lot of extensions which don't seem to be being turned around or grow less and crush more/make potions. Which would be more useful is what I meant.

If you want to level alchemy, crush your own stuff and turn it into potions. If you don't just gather more stuff

About the mana project :effort:

17:28:48 RWSA : btw, when will people start using the potions???
17:29:05 oldskool : Phase Two
17:29:46 RWSA : so.....this will take some time......and idk, but why not start using the over 5k FF potions now?
17:29:52 Xerol : use them up
17:29:56 Xerol : use them all the time
17:30:02 Xerol : (just use the fish potions on sunfish though)
17:30:30 Xerol : use the woodlands on palm chopping
17:30:35 Xerol : and larch if you're moose
17:30:46 Xerol : and gemfinding on obsidian
17:31:11 CoffeeAmin : gently caress that. Fish Finders on the Sea Urchin fishing stuff
17:31:31 Xerol : snails at 400% RD on sunfish are a 1/4 drop
17:31:37 Xerol : i don't think any of the sea urchins get nearly that high
17:31:43 RWSA : yeah, a small post about when to use potions would be nice for everyone
17:32:54 CoffeeAmin : Urchins are super good though
17:34:27 Xerol : i guess i can do an experiment to see what the approximate drop rate is on urchins
17:34:52 Xerol : each snail is 6 mana
17:35:05 CoffeeAmin : Its not near as high as 1:4, but 5/action is really nice
17:35:19 CoffeeAmin : Frog Legs might be better for the effect
17:35:35 Xerol : urchins would need to be at least 6% base (30% with max RD) to be worth it
17:35:37 CoffeeAmin : A bit better seeming in terms of drop
17:35:44 Xerol : although i guess i could use them on stingrays
17:36:02 Xerol : since stingrays -> kites -> more mana
17:36:05 oldskool : rays for kites, and is sushi still going to be a thing moving forward or is it getting phased out
17:36:10 CoffeeAmin : Its probably closer to 3 or 4 percent
17:36:29 Guild > Projects > Mana Post was updated by Xerol.
17:36:38 Xerol : sushi's eventually getting phased out
17:36:39 CoffeeAmin : sushi is probably getting phased out, everything else seems to be
17:36:49 Xerol : the sushi cook miniproject was just to use up the squids we had stocked up
17:37:42 Xerol : although i guess if someone wants to fish them we could still make more
17:37:47 Xerol : since the food itself won't go away, just the recipe
17:38:01 Xerol : and each one is like 1.5 pies
17:38:12 Xerol : and a lot easier to make than pies if we have mats
17:38:47 oldskool : 40k seaweed, ~9k total rice but some of that is reserve for planting and some is flour-to-be
17:39:16 CoffeeAmin : rice is probably much easier to replace though
17:39:38 CoffeeAmin : especially with so many people close or past it in Gathering
17:39:41 Xerol : the combatters are bringing in a good amount of rice and we can also grow it
17:39:59 Xerol : okay mini project: chop tons of bamboo, build a giant rice farm in IP
17:41:34 CoffeeAmin : Bamboo is such a terrible timer though
17:42:07 Xerol : i'll do it if i have to
17:42:12 Xerol : i can keep my timer pretty low

Do we have a "master list" of extensions somewhere? I'd like to be added to the Heart Island gardens for doing candle petals but I'm not even sure what our setup is there. I've been doing some "research" on the clothes making and it is much more worth our time for me to blow a bunch of +success up to 200% for sup drops so I'd like to be returning some goods to those since a single clothes run can go through a ton of them.

I'm a little confused by one of my results here. I'm seeing how long to get gathering from where it is (level 37) to level 40 (target picked arbitrarily). I have a total timer of -12s, so my timer for arctic berry foraging is 51s. The spreadsheet seems to be claiming that I save no time whatsoever by having 20 timer - the results for both columns show the same number:

Column E is missing the base timer. You have gathering 37 so the base timer would be 65.

My salt rock timer is 20 and xp per action is 24. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean I'll get an action every 21 seconds, for 171 ish actions an hour and 4.1k xp per hour? I assume I've cocked up using the spreadsheet somewhere?

Also, gently caress this game's xp curve literally no-one needs any more salt, why is it by far the best thing to mine?

Without buffs salt is the best activity for mining. Get buffs for minimum timer and move up to the next activity (See columns L and M).

Counting down to 0 adds a second. So a 20 timer action takes 21 seconds.

That's what I said?

The issue was that the spreadsheet was reporting a little over half the XP I ought to get given I was getting 24 xp every 21 seconds. I wanted to know if I was using the spreadsheets wrong or if the calculation was busted.
