Triple Turn-in Trap

[MithrasInvictus]

I HQ pretty much all the time.
A triple turn in requires 9 items to get 3 rewards.
A single turn in requires 1 item to get 1 reward... so 9 items get 9 rewards.

If the reward is 10,000xp, and you turn in HQ you get 30,000xp.

(tripler) 3 rewards X 30,000xp = 90,000xp for 9 items crafted
(single) 9 rewards X 30,000xp = 270,000xp for 9 items crafted
In many cases the items are VERY similar

HOWEVER, the tripler gives 90,000 XP per leve, while a single turn in is only 30,000 XP per leve. Single turn ins are a "waste" of leves, but more efficient use of materials and time if you have leves to waste.

Hmmm, you raise a good point. That being said, you have made me question my use of triples for the DoH classes. Just out of curiosity though, can you get a DoH class all the way to 50 with 100 leves doing singles? I spend a lot of time crafting, so I have to consider the time involved in regenerating leves as well. Staying with the numbers in your example, after 9 leves one will have 270,000 exp from singles, and 810,000 from triples, plus all of the associated exp with having to make so many more items, since it requires 9 per leve instead of 1 per leve. This puts us at 81 items per 9 leves versus 9 items per 9 leves at several thousand exp per item.

*EDIT*
As I think about this, of course the time spent actually making those 81 items needs to be considered. I'm going to have to look into this more.
