[Canti]

Ok, everyone seems to know and do the Armor Upgrade Kits > Ubese Shirts > Master Grind.

Needed for this grind:
-1960 Armor Upgrade Kits (1960)
--39,200 Metal
--19,600 Chemical
-4994 Ubese Armor Shirts (4994)
--149,820 Steel
--99,880 Iron
--49,940 Fiberplast

This takes roughly 15.5 hours of grinding.
Shopping list:
189,020 Steel
99,880 Iron
69,540 Fiberplast

Quick(er) Grind that I do is straight up Mabari Chests. Takes 1824 pieces or 152 minutes at 5 sec a craft. 2.5 hours but uses more resources. The extra resources is more then made up in the time savings.

Shopping list:
176,960 Metal (any)
147,776 Fiberplast
72,960 hide (hardest to get but can use any hide so multi types can be used)
34,664 Inert Petrochem

Make Factory Runs of 1824 Synthetic Cloth and Armorweave Segments. Don't hand craft inventory space becomes a nightmare and just adds more time. You'll need novice tailor for the cloth, or just buy them.. Any Novice tailor will be happy to make the sale.

TL;DR

Mabari chest take a bit more prep work and 74k more resources. Saves you 13 hours of grinding. Not to mention you don't have to change your macro, set /sel one time and go.

Just completed the AS grind. So thought I would toss out the real numbers not theory.

394 xp per Mabari chest on practice. Total XP/394 = 1820 Mabari chests..

Used Material for 1861 units.. Had marco errors on 41 units and lost resources for those, 2.2% error rate, not bad. Total time was 267 minutes in 2 sessions, first ten was adjusting macro to get timing correct. Had to adjust select time for a total build time of 8 sec per unit. 4 Hours 27 minutes, not bad when if you realize I would still be working on AUK's and have another 5k Ubese shirts to do...

Oh and new Master Armor Smith Setting up shop... umm after I get some sleep. Happy grinding.
