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.
