Tips
To initially gain skill it might be best to start with making iron bowls. Granted they're not worth much to traders and are useless except in altars, but since each bowl is 0.3 kg, they don't use that much lump and they're made from a readily-available substance (iron). The exception to this is if you have access to a vein of gold or silver, in which case rings are the better choice, both in terms of value and lump consumed.
Gavin's notes and tips
Skilling Up
First start with Iron Bowls as they use iron, and are rather easy to imp. These can be used in altars.
When you get a decent percentage chance to make, start doing "Armrings". They use .30 to create, and .03 per imp action. These are worth a bit to traders also.
Once you get high percentage chance to create, imp Rings. These use .10 to create (you get .05 ring, .05 scrap). 100 of these fit in a BoK, so they are perfect for sacrificing and carrying around, and also only use very little lump to imp.
Favor&Price (2011 Feb 22)
Gold and Silver are not the same, neither in terms of favor nor money, so they're put in separate groups.
Some decimals have been omitted as the test wasn't perfect (some extra QL decimals for the items etc), but this should be a good approximation of the actual values.
Gold QL40
| Item | Get Price (s) | Trader Offer (s) | Approx Favor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Statuette of deity | 1.67 | 13.23 | - | Statuette | 0.81 | 6.42 | 16 |
| Candelbra | 0.8 | 6.37 | 16 | ||||
| Necklace | 0.56 | 4.43 | 11 | ||||
| Ring | 0.4 | 3.17 | 8 |
Silver QL40
| Item | Get Price (s) | Trader Offer (s) | Approx Favor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Statuette of deity | 1.32 | 10.51 | 26 |
| Statuette | 0.65 | 5.21 | 13 |
| Candelbra | 0.64 | 5.12 | 13 |
| Necklace | 0.45 | 3.57 | 9 |
| Ring | 0.32 | 2.55 | 6 |
The Base Price page has formulas and a more elaborate explanation of the relationship between favor and get price. Two useful approximation are:
- 1/5 of get price (coppers) equals one favor;
- 7/4 of get price equals offered price.
