Soulbinders

Dasilva

what is the ratio for creating a soulbinder supposed to be? I thought it was 1 ethereal sand 5 sand, well if it is it isnt accurate sometimes it takes 2 ethereal sand per sometimes it takes 8 ethereal sand per and any random number in between, I havent been watching the normal sand to see how much it goes down by but the ethereal sand is a totally random number per bottle

Edit it uses as much as 20 sand per attempt as well

Look at the crafting menu to see how much is required to make one. Without a glassblowing talisman the success rate is 10%. You are losing 7 to 8 sand per fail.

Just did a round of crafting soul binders with no glassblowing talisman (wish I had one)
100 attempts used 867 regular sand and 229 ethereal sand to make 11 soul binders.
Which comes to an average of 7.25 regular sand and 2 ethereal sand lost per failure.

At 10% no talis you can figure on a average of 12-14 made per 1000 normal sand.   +10 tally 24-24 per 1000 sand   +20 tali 36-42  That is what I have been averaging it does vary one  run on 1000 sand at 10% made a whopping 7  another run made 21  so you can have really good runs and really bad runs the way the checks work.  Even with a +20 tali (Best I have on one shard)  you can have really REALLY bad runs.  AS far as losses I just figure it as 8 normal/2 ether for guessing what I will make on a run based on averages.  What sucks is after mining 10k sand to have ten really bad runs in a row and less than 80 binders for the effort.
