I used 24 50 ql jars and varying olive oil and needle ql and came to the following conclusions:
 +
 +
*Unfinished compasses come out at different weights.
 +
*Olive oil affect the initial creation percent as well as the unfinished compass ql.
 +
*An unfinished compass will never come out more than double the ql of the olive oil and never higher than the jar ql.
 +
*Adding a needle will add a random amount of needle ql to the compass.
 +
 +
So it seems that olive oil and jar ql has the biggest impact on creating a compass. However, I did have a compass just 20 ql from adding a 68ql needle so having all components be high ql is important.

Can anyone else confirm or deny any of this as well? I will do further testing as well.

Are the materials used confirmed? --Ketza 10:56, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

Past confirmed. Made an 8.1QL compass using 1.9W olive oil (incidentally the amount a pottery jar holds), a pottery jar, and a needle. --Joshu 06:36, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

This was at the end of the page:

Thunderstruck :D
 note:Sry its fucked up it was late at night and cant be F***ed fixing it

Olive Oil Amount

Someone please doublecheck the amount of oil a compass uses - I used 1.9kg, it may just use all available oil above a certain weight, in which case a decanting method to minimize oil overusage should be outlined somewhere on this page.

heh. I used 0.1 --Uzetaab 10:01, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

skills involved?

Anyone know what skills are involved in making the compass? I doubt it purely depends on the ql of the needle and the unfinished compass.

Notes to add

I used 24 50 ql jars and varying olive oil and needle ql and came to the following conclusions:

  • Unfinished compasses come out at different weights.
  • Olive oil affect the initial creation percent as well as the unfinished compass ql.
  • An unfinished compass will never come out more than double the ql of the olive oil and never higher than the jar ql.
  • Adding a needle will add a random amount of needle ql to the compass.

So it seems that olive oil and jar ql has the biggest impact on creating a compass. However, I did have a compass just 20 ql from adding a 68ql needle so having all components be high ql is important.

Can anyone else confirm or deny any of this as well? I will do further testing as well.
