+398/49.5 mins/50 fill OR +424/46.6 mins/50 fill

I would say the +424 due to the fact that the duration will still allow for a double buff at all times. The only thing that I would look at is dropping the duration down to 49. I know that it does not seem like much but the 49 filling brandy will always sell before the 50 no matter what the stats. That is just my experience.

I was thinking more along the lines of PvP. With the +398 buff you can stack 4 brandies for the last 4.5 minutes of the buff, and the only thing you'll be losing out on is an extra 50 M/F/W(Chances are if your down to 50 mind, your gonna die :smileytongue
As for the 50 fill vs 49 fill, I never noticed a difference between the way these sold. If it comes out to 49 fill on the initial run, then great, but to me putting a point into filling is a waste if it's already 50.

I'd say the right too. Problem is those 5 minutes will go by like nothing. Best thing you can do is ask some of your customers. Or make one schematic for the right and one for the left. That way you let the sales do the answering.

I would make the second one.
Well you're right you can stack 4 brandies for 4.5 minutes...
BUT: You have to exactly time those 4.5 minutes and you have to do so 45 minutes in advance. Run into the enemy too fast and you can't stack yet and find them too late and your brandy has already run out...
Don't think anyone will go for that.

The second one.. for 1 very obvious reason - Appearences.
having above +400 looks A LOT better than 398. I know that from personal experience as well. Made +398 and +400 with 2 minutes extra on the +398.... ALL crates of +400 was sold before any of the 398-ones started to sell.
As long as you get 50% fill, at least 43:30 duration and at least +400 it'll sell.
It simply "looks better" on the vendor if it has +400 or more. Very few customers actually thinks about "ok, well maybe the extra duration would be better, as the power is not really any noticeable difference". They look at the numbers, to verify that it's up to their standard. And that's it.
I'd guarantee you that they wouldn't even notice if you only used small glasses until they actually started taking it out of the crate. Even if you wrote it in the name of the Brandy.
That's customers...

The second one by far is better. But you may want to go to 49 filling because somtimes the 50 fill wont let you take 2 for some reason or another.

I ran into a similar case earlier this week. I was making brandy with some new ressources and I had either the choice of +424 for 46m or +405 for 48.5m...I asked my guild (since I sell to them mainly). They wanted extra duration, I wanted extra power...split the run in 2, made half 405, half 424...

The second brandy. They are about the same in reality, but to most buyers out there, if you're brandy is less than +400 it may as well have dead rats floating around in the cask.

on my server you would almost never be able to sell brandy with less than 400 power (unless it was dead cheap) even if it had a great time of 49mins.
