I tried to do a math based analysis of the chance of crafting minimum resist peices previously and the numbers didn't add up, so I am tracking resources and success for making a three peice woodland set with gorget, arms and gauntlets.  I plan to imbue these and then enhance them for a sampire suit I am working on.

Resource Consumption To Date:
2500 attempts (10,000 bark, 37,500 boards)
88 single minimum pieces
2 double minimum pieces

90 keepers (3.5%)

This gave me 3-5 of each part with a minimum resist in each of the five categories, enough to make a first go at it. If I can figure out what to put on them, I will imbue three of each and try for the enhance.

I am using a script I wrote that saves exceptional peices that have at least one minimum resist. My imbue pattern is to imbue the resist that is at minimum value to max, add four more properties, and then enhance with heartwood. Because its a sampire suit, I am only using peices that have Fire Resist as a minimum value.  Using level one factions peices and/or low level arties will result in a suit at all 70s on a sampire.

My current property plan (considering revisions in view of comments below):

Fire Resist 15 (10 Boura Pelts)
LMC 7
MR 2 (10 Seeds)
Stam Increase 8 (10 Fungi)
HPI 4

This is a total of 496 value in imbue properties. A successful enhance should result in peices around 630 in imbued value. Heartwood adds 16 points of resist (106 points) and a random property at around 40 points. The plan is to make three peices that have +10 DI on them.

Thus far I have made ten peices and have two with DI on them.  I made a set of HCI and put it on a vendor for 20M. I have six more peices, two of which are not worth much.

Examples of the peices I am crafting to work from attached below.

What is the new situation with faction points and faction gear?  I wanted to get some toons up and running again, but it seems my points are all gone and my guys can't wear their stuff.  Has the new system gone in?  Does anyone have some insight into it that they care to share?

Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this TM, it's a series of novels. I was looking for some new reading material and came accross this series. I just finished reading the first book and thought it was pretty good. The author's style is dense and artistic and takes some getting used to. The world he puts together is complicated and he developed a lot of characters for a first book, but they are engaging. I liked it enough to read the next one of the nine+ in the series.

This is a sub intended to be used to move stackable resources from one container to another.  You must have the item color and type to use the sub.

I am starting this thread to track upgrades in BOD reward turn ins.  There is a related thread on Stratics here: http://vboards.stratics.com/craftsmans-data-chest/159920-preliminary-findings-bod-value-variable-affecting-rewards.html

If you are turning in Smith LBODs gold and up, please post your results!

These Subs and the associated call lines are for setting up skill gain scripts to account for Siege Perilous RoT skill gain delays.  My RoT check and wait are only triggered if you are on Siege Perilous, so these subs can be incorporated into any script to incorporate RoT training on Siege. The wait sub hides you if you are not already hidden, and opens your backpack every two minutes to keep you from being logged off. Hiding is optional, its the second parameter. If you are working a skill that uses objects, you may need to account for this when it hits RoT.  In a crafting script, for example, you should probably re-initiate use of the tool.

Before you perform the skill activity you need to set a variable to track skill gain:

If Siege in #Shard
   {
   chooseskill blac real
   Set %CurrentSkill #Skill
   }
After actuating the skill you check to see if you gained skill and then go to RoT wait.  If you are doing something difficult enough to gain skill in RoT on Siege, you gain every time.

If Siege in #Shard && #skill >= 700
   {
   chooseskill *SKILLYOUARETRAINING* real
   If %CurrentSkill < #Skill
      {
      Gosub RoT_Timer *SKILLYOUARETRAINING* Y
      }
  
And here is the ROT wait sub:

Sub RoT_Timer       ; Sets the RoT timer
If %2 = Y || %2 = N/A
     Set %Hide Yes
Else
     Set %Hide No
Chooseskill %1 Real
If #Skill < 700
   Set %ROTSkillTimer #SCNT + 2
If #Skill >= 700 && #Skill < 800       ; 5 Minute Interval
   Set %ROTSkillTimer #SCNT + 300
If #Skill >= 800 && #Skill < 900       ; 8 Minute Interval
   Set %ROTSkillTimer #SCNT + 480
If #Skill >= 900 && #Skill < 1000      ; 12 Minute Interval
   Set %ROTSkillTimer #SCNT + 720
If #Skill >= 1000 && #Skill <= 1200    ; 15 Minute Interval
   Set %ROTSkillTimer #SCNT + 900
Repeat
   {
   If %ROTSkillTimer - #SCNT > 120
      {
      If H notin #CharStatus && %Hide = Yes
         Event Macro 13 21       ; Hide
      Set #LobjectID #BackpackID
      Event Macro 17 0
      Wait 2400
      }
   Wait 50
   }
Until #SCNT >= %ROTSkillTimer
Return
