![]() (And this is further ignoring the fact that crafting farming which took 15 black pepper, for knitting would instead take 250 (plus a bit more for human error wasting seconds during such a long grinding period). So either 2,250 wool must convert to 15,250 yarn (1:12.2 conversion, instead of the current 1:1) or the rate of wool/hour must go up by a factor or 12.2, from 200 per hour to 2,440 per hour. This creates a discrepancy, since if 14 hours is our fair time to gather wool and in that time we could fairly gather 2,250, in order to compete with crafting in this example we would instead need to farm 15,250 wool in 14 hours, as discussed above. And since sheep farming/breeding/shearing is a high-attention activity versus chopping or mining, let’s buffer that by 20%, so 2,250 wool in 14 hours to make the comparison between activities more fair. So right now in 14 hours you could gather 2,800 wool. This is also a mental way to spend your time, so let’s round up to 2 hours since we rounded down the last estimate, putting us at 14 hours’ time for wool gathering. With the current dye-making process (being conscious of the effect of latency and buckets emptying themselves) let’s say you can make 40 a minute, so 3,810 dye is another 1.6 hours. In this example I would need 3,810 blue dye if I am making noble jackets (you can eliminate this time expense by making friar robes with no loss to xp for wool/yarn expended if you’re at a high enough knitting level to rule out the xp gain from knitting resets at ~<40 knitting levels, but it increases the attention requirement of knitting by x4). Now, we can fairly ignore time spent gathering from dye plants, since that can be attributed to farming foraging experience, and simply focus on the time it takes to create dye. So if crafting took 15 minutes, knitting is at 4.125 hours being equitable, this puts our 20 hour mark for farming wool down to 16. However, I must be careful to not ignore three factors.ġ) Farming wool is much more attention-intensive than chopping or mining.Ģ) This does not yet include the time it takes to gather and produce dyes.ģ) This doesn’t include time spent knitting, which takes ~16.5x more time than crafting. ![]() At the present rate, in 20 hours, I would gather 4000 wool. ![]() So our total gathering hours estimate stands at 20 hours.įor an equitable amount of knitting experience, I would need 15,250 yarn. This assumes you converted nothing else you got mining into stone or crafting experience, you only used the stone. I believe my 6th, 7th, and 8th crafting skills required grinding 50-65, 60-75, and 70-80, respectively, for a total pool of approximately 2,362,300xp (this is conservative, I got experience past 80 to round off the last star but I’m not sure how much, so I’m not counting it).Īt my current XP boosts that’s about 1,385 stone hammers, or 41,550 stone and 27,700 wood (since you can average about 100 crafts/min this includes a vary marginal amount of ~15 black pepper).Īssuming 75% chopping chance (keeping conservative) and 100% uptime (from buying acorns) 27,700 wood with Quick would take 6 hours.Īssuming 75% mining chance and let’s say 2/3rds up-time, 41,550 stone would take 13.85 hours (so let’s say 14 hours). What on Earth am I doing I’m not missing anything and 200 wool per hour is the standard, then I’d like to do a short comparative analysis with crafting gathering hours if I may. I’d like to add more knitting stars but at this point I’m convinced there’s not enough wool on the server to hit a fraction of my quotas for more blue stars.Īt this rate I’ll have to farm wool for a full 90 hours. In the last three months waiting for something to improve I’ve started reincarnating, and reincarnated 105 times. Economically the cost of leveling knitting here is 3-6x the cost of crafting, depending on if you can flip road kits. I’ve also tried buying wool/yarn but there’s very little available. Since sheep breeding took a nosedive in late February/early March nothing I’ve tried has made a difference. I’ve tried having only four sheep instead of six. I’ve tried feeding both sheep in a pair to breed instead of just one. I have tried putting sheep together in the same pen. I have also tried other sheep configurations. I’ve killed and replaced all the sheep on the right, they still refuse to breed. I took repeated walks around the area on an alt and am positive there were no other sheep within 17-20 squares or more in any direction that could’ve interfered with spawns. ![]() The only sheep to have any spawns at all were the two on the left. ![]() There were several several-minute spans with zero spawns, one as long as ten minutes. With four sheep constantly ready to breed. Now I timed myself this morning: I got 200 wool out of this in one hour. It’s makeshift, but I think I have a relatively decent sheep farm. ![]()
