Triple Turn-in Trap

[Simaril]

And have you done a triple??

you get 3x rewards, so you get 3=1reward done 3 times.

so for every 3 rings, I get both shard and gil reward, in profit of the turn in. HQ wise, I am doubling your inferior town turn in, resulting in 1.3x per turn in is actually 2.6x your turn in for HQ

I'm begining to think you have not sampled your choice of leves, to make a educated decision on your leveling process.

You turn in 3 items for 1 reward (7,331 or 22,000 for HQ).You can do that 3 times, for 3 rewards.
I turn in 1 item for 1 reward (6,373 or 19,000 for HQ). If I want to do that 3 times I have to burn 3 leves.

You get 22,000xp for three HQ items, I get 58,000xp for three HQ items.


I'm also getting the item reward for turning in 1 item instead of 3.

I'm saying I can make my 1 item and turn it in faster than you can make your 3 items. I'm also saying, I can run back to the quest giver and do it again twice faster than you can make 9 items and turn yours in twice more. Yes, I get 3,000 less experience... but maybe I can make 4 items and do mine 4 times for 4 rewards in the time you make your 9 items for 3 rewards. If you triple the XP for HQ than the the triplers are even better - yes, that's another thing to consider.


I'm also saying that doing it faster isn't the only consideration, particularly since you can buy the rings themseleves, or the materials to make the rings, or you might have a limited number of leves, or shards, or you might need a particular item reward.


What I absolutely am saying is - it depends on what your goal is.

Generally speaking, Single turn in leve's actually give you MORE exp than triple turnin's. An example. If you compare a lvl 30 Single turn in level and a lvl 30 triple turn in leve. The 30triple will be around the same maximum exp gained by a single turn in of lvl 25. Triple turn ins are always one exp level down than the current single.

If it weren't that way then I may lean more towards triple. The only way I would look at triple leve's as a viable way to SPEED LEVEL is if you could buy the required materials in HQ for a reasonable amount. But then again that's subjective on what you consider reasonable. The average HQ leve turn in for leatherworker is 5-10k. I'm not going to buy that when I can make it for 500gil. Especially triples thats 15-30k a leve, not freakin happening.

Maybe food/alchemy is different...but yeah not happening for me.

Uh, no, that's not even generally true with how you're presenting it. Single turn ins are only "more" XP if you are looking at it as reward/item made. Triples are superior in reward/leve because the reward you get is really x3 of what's listed before you take HQ into account, since you get that reward for each set of turnins you do. What people are trying to say ITT is that you have to consider the item being made and when, and not just blanket it with "it's always bad" or "its always good." You may not want to turn in 15 Raptor leather normally, for example, but if the per-turnin reward is 16 Raptor hides back (which actually happens quite a bit), that's refusing to turn in 15 Raptor leather for 48 Hides on top of the XP and gil reward.

You're missing the point but regardless.

1. Single leve's are a better way to speed level a crafting class
2. Single leve's give you a much MUUUCHHHHHH better exp per item made
3. Triple Leve's are better if you're worried about exp per leve used.

End of story. (IMO - but not really cause its true)
