First off, how in the world are you getting 15 charges per BoH?

Second off, that seems to be the case in a lot of the food req's. The only problem is, waiting the extra 3 1/2 days for a full run of Aludians to match up with your 1 1/2 day run of Alchohols. Sure, the bang for your buck is a bit cheaper on our buck, but I'd rather not milk my customers, and use the extra resources.

I exeperienced many more charges using plain alcohol when I tested this as well...in fact I got one with a decent buff (sorry dont recall, it was a while back but it was less than the alu buff) with 28 charges.

blech...anyway I believe the one I did was about 470 for 400 sec. So I got very similar results.

Yeah my experimenting showed more quanities wtih staight alcohol and silustin gin then with KFD or PLU. I'll have to give that a try.

You might want to test your theory using Double Dips since its showing the straight effects of the different alcohol types with nothing else interfering

Its called quality resources hun with around 2 or 3 extra points after maxing buff into quantity on the aludiums. I dont see how yout COULDNT get at least 13-15 charges on BOH.

and Milk my customers? What the hell are you talking about? Most of my customers would kiss my feet if i could get BOH runs done twice as fast with little loss in quality. Now if i was using straight alchohol and selling BOH with buff sizes of +390 then yeah, but +541 vs +568 is milking my customers?

Yep, test with DDORRs like Fodder suggested. You'll see exactly how everything effects everything else. Stack size of 40 with 6 quantity experimented(91%) base alcohols. Of course the buff SUCKED

Good idea, i keep forgetting they fixed that schematic. Ive been so long without the broken ones i just forget they are there

Ok so i was doing a run of BOH and when i went to start it up i noticed that i had some leftover aludiums from a previous run(only about 4 crates so not enough to realy bother with) SO i decided to use them to experiment with.

Got some interesting results.

To start off with i dont remember what went into those aludiums but they were fairly high quality ingredients (lackluster fruits though as no good ones have spawned in over a month) but they were all from the same batch at least and experimented fully for buff with extra points left over in duration.

The Alcohols were done with +900 steel and +900 OQ +900 PE +700ish Wheat and experemented diffently as shown below.

All combos done with

Rice : DR 810 FL 938 PE 648 OQ 972

Oats : DR 971 FL 407 PE 835 OQ 961

1) BOH 6 aludiums (BOH all exper in buff) +569 stats 484 secs 15 charges (28% in quantity)

2) BOH 6 aludiums (BOH all exper in Charges 96% in quantity) +415stats 484 secs 19 charges

3) BOH 3 aludiums/3 alcohol(full buff exp) (BOH full buff exp) +541 stats 476 secs 15 charges (28% in quantity)

4) BOH 3 aludiums/3 alcohol(full buff exp) (BOH full charge exp 96%) +387 stats 432 sec 21 charges

5) BOH 3 aludiums/3 alcohol(full charge exp) (BOH full buff exp) +511 stats 432 secs 23 charges

6) BOH 3 aludiums/3 alcohol(full charge exp) (BOH full charge exp 96%) +387 stats 432 secs 28 charges

Caviat that i have 11 experimentation points by the way.

BUT it seems that for just a teeeny little decrease in buff size between +569 with 6 aludiums and +541 with alud/alcohol(full buff exp) you get basicly the same duration with the same charges with half the resources.

Just food for thought! Yeah if your going for the highest darn buff possible id go with 6 aludiums but if you want more bang for your buck with very little loss in quality Id go with the aludium/alcohol(buff maxed) combo.

Id like to see some other peoples recent experiments.

By the way all combos were Great successes. This wants a controlled exacting experiement by any means but it does show an odd trend that warrents some looking into.

I just put together some low end BoH for use as part of an armor lube package (still waiting for the alcohol to finish to put it in), and its stats are a little over 400, duration was 480, 20 uses...lol I was not expecting that since I put 7 points into buff and only 3 into quantity...of course the rice and oats both had OQs over 800 and only the rice had a PE over 800 also...the oats blew...plus I used leftover aludiam combined with regular alcohol. I've been making split BoH like that for about a month...seems to work fairly well.

I agree with you there, at the rate my customers consume food they would love it if I could just keep an I.V. tube of Angerian hooked up to their veins.

I use straight alcohols and get +480~ish all around, and 16-20 charges... and I dont charge much (60K per crate on bloodfin is cheapola)...
