im sure some maths wizard will come in and rewrite this formula, but its just a few numbers to show crafters profit margins on ss and sps
if you want a tool to do this automatically one of the local forum orcs wrote some excel code which works quite well
the result you get will be your total profit per mp used to craft
it will be a negative number but just ignore that
i consider crystal cost to be the price i can get crystals for everyday from giran in afk sell shops , if i get crystals for cheaper from a buy shop thats a bonus
quantity is the amount of ss/sps made per craft
mp cost is how much mana it cost to craft once
sell price is what you usually sell ss/sps for
now onto why i dont make a-ss and why its getting harder to get
bss
(9,200+15,498/450) - 61 *450/100 = 27.52
a-ss
(14,900+10,332/300) - 95 *300/120 = 27.23
the profits are actually marginally more on bss
now you might say there is very little difference there but i was being generous
every 2 or 3 days you can get b crystals for 8k or less (from sell shops)
14.9k for A crystals is fairly cheap these days, im pretty sure i can walk into giran now and buy some but more and more ppl are chargeing 17k+ for them
i dont usually say this but i think gustin needs more ebayers :/
You know what?
For one, I am tired of the constant rantings of unfair balance/they make more money than me.
Secondly, I don't think dwarfs were designed to be your idea of this "king of the economy" where everyone would need one to make any money. I think dwarfs are hard to level so that the clan would help to level them. I don't think dwarfs were made to rake in cash because in my most honest opinion, I don't think there was intended to be much item sales outside of clans (if they would even be sold within the clan).
Now that is 3 bitter "nukers are better than me posts" . I think it is time for you to take a nap.
(I don't know about Gustin, but on Hinde it's far more profitable to craft blessed sps. Of course, I can do that without going insane since I have my own recharger.)

You're just a regular "Swiss Army Knife" of toons, aren't you?
Actually, (9200+15498/450) - 61 *450/100 is 8959.94. This kind of justifies your earlier comment:

No offense, but why are you posting a thread based on math if, by your own admission, it isn't your strong point?
You're trying to find profit per MP, right?
( [Sell Value] - [Creation Cost] ) / [MP Cost]
( [price per shot]*[# shots] - [Creation Cost] ) / [MP Cost]
...which, amusingly enough, gets the numbers you erroneously posted as the results of your earlier equation (if I use your values).
Two caveats that I think I need to add:
This depends on your values, which I haven't checked.
You're making the assumption that *** are supposed to be more profitable than BSS. Frankly, I don't know why you'd think that, I don't see any reason to design it that way.
