argh, too complicated for me….
While McJAC’s spreadsheet is very precise and complete, I have a smaller and slightly less accurate salvaging spreadsheet that might be easier to understand. …and it does leather too! (Updated every 4 hours IIRC)
I even have a luck grinding spreadsheet, to let you know how much clicking you’re in for. (hint: a lot.)
Salvaging things for luck and money is pretty effective, but it’s really time consuming and wears out your mouse buttons. I actually have a second mouse connected I use just for clicking on essences of luck.
While you do end up making gold at the end of the day, it does take a pretty good amount of investment capital to place all those orders. It wasn’t uncommon for me to have 300g-500g in buy orders sitting around, and you better hope you don’t need to pick up anything important while you’re doing this. While I was grinding, It wasn’t uncommon at all for a set of overnight listings to generate over an hour or more just trying to empty the pickup tab.
Needing to bid-war with people for an hour or two to secure that overnight high offer is a pain too. :p
I recommend stopping sometime before reaching 300%, perhaps at 200 or 250.
This is good advice. I stopped at 270% as at my natural rate of luck acquisition, I should hit 300% in a little over a year or so.
As for MF’s effectiveness, I never used to see dropped rares, maybe one every few weeks. Now that I’m over 300% with minimal buffs, I find about one rare every hour or two just running around doing map completion. Was it worth the dozens of hours salvaging things? Probably not, but I made a bunch of gold doing it anyway, so meh.
Am I missing something or are you adding the auction fees to the profit instead of subtracting them? (dividing by 85% vs multiplying)
