I also think we should determine an "efficiency" rating for furnaces. For instance, it could work like this: Full Load, 100 crystals of desired type, zero other crystals. Result: 20 metal. Full Load, 80 crystals of desired type, zero other crystlas. Result: 16 metal. This imaginary furnace would have an efficiency of 20%. This would lead to some definable aspects to the effect of other crystals: Full Load, 100 crystlas of desired type, 20 other crystals. Result: 16 metal. From this we could learn that other crystal types subtract from the result. This is a simplified version to help define the idea. What do other people thing about this efficiency idea? Perhaps it would put a "efficiency" concept under "stats" and have a link to "specific results" where people could add results and help us narrow down the efficiency?
Stats:
| Crystal Types, numbers | Output |
Stats:
| Crystal Types, numbers | Output |
Notes: So far every smelt we did with the craft furnace was sucessful. This furnace is intended for the creation of alloys and high yield smelting. We are currently still testing those things. Some people have observed strange results like obtaining the second-most-common metal in the smelting. (Ex: You put in 50 iron crystla,s and 30 copper crystals, and get copper! -- Any other similar results? Was this just a mistake made by someone?))

Save the drama for IRC Leetah, please. If people contribute with their name, other people that seek to learn can actually contact them in game. If Chichis mining guide wouldnt be called Chichis mining guide i wouldnt know who made it or that i could ask him for advice. Thank you for mentioning my name 7 times in you message thought, appreciated. - Gezak
This page recently edited to include a table instead of an estimated dotted system, so that display is easier and more readable by Leetah. Leetah, however, finds it rude and obnoxious when people sit there trying to take credit for ideas that are developed by large groups of people. The point of the wiki isn't that everyone gets to know how great Gezak of Divine is, and how awesome his knowedge of atitd is. It's that we get a good reference page with smart knowledge. If Gezak posts something, and there's more to it than Gezak posts, and other people add to it, it's not longer just Gezak, but it's everyone. Having the page be 90% signatures is stupid. Nobody cares that Gezak is the source of some of thei nformation, they want to be able to read the information is a way that makes sense. This isn't about getting credit. It's about providing information so people can learn. Stop being such a prick about getting your deserved credit. I ACTIVELY don't put my name in most pages because I don't want people to look at me as some obnoxious prit who wants attention. I put my name when I make statements that don't directly pertain to information -- for instance, if someone says "I think this works like htis -- anyone else seeing that?" I will respond with my name. But if I'm putting information on the page that BELONGS THERE, I don't say "hey! everyone! I did this!" -- if they want to know who did it, they can look at the changelogs. I know every edit you've ever done, Gezak, without you being all in-my-face about it. Why? Because the system remembers it for those of us who are interested in that information. I know what you contribute, and I know what other people add to your contributions. Once a paragraph is lesss than 25% your words, less than 25% your ideas, and less than 25% your data/numbers, it's no longer YOUR contribution. And if every paragraph had "-Gezak -Leetah -Hotep -Leetah -Hotep -Gezak -Qetesh -silver -Mathir -Gezak -Leetah" at the end of it, I'd start a new wiki where it's specifically outlawed to put your name next to informational paragraphs, and only next to questions or answers to questions which have a reason to maintain that information. Anyway. You automatically get credit for your contributions through your summary of the edit, being able to compare any two results, and having an account, which you have. And at this point, I would only be repeating myself. So, to summarize my ideas:
Edited layout for better presentation and added comment area. - Mathir
Thanks for formatting Mathir, you the man. :) - Gezak
Edited layout, added comments, added smelting pot, added concept of efficiency, cleaned up presentation, added other stats. 8/30/04
