Grobb Liquidized Meat ingredients cost list

[Calabar]

I made the Grobb Liquidized Meat for the first time last night for a friend. She plays a warrior who keeps these on her barbarian and drinks them normally. She was running low and the only person selling them in the bazaar wanted 50pp each for them. So, when she asked me about them I decided it was time to learn to make them. After all, with a skill of 248 its something I should know how to do. All I wanted to do was charger her cost, but naturally I figured it up wrong. I only counted the mandrake root once instead of three times for the sub combines. Duhh! So I sat down this morning and made out a list of everything and what it cost me. I thought perhaps someone else might benefit from the information as well. I bought all the items in Shadow Haven with 120 charisma and either ally or indifferent faction, deepening on the merchant. I didn’t list the corking device, as it’s a one-time investment that’s returned on success or failure.

Fantastic breakdown there

When guildies ask me I always say about 30pp a stack... or 1.5pp each is my cost.

You have to figure a few failures on the expensive mandrake root sub combines, and a few failures on the final combine.

Maybe like this:

60 Mandrake root subcombines, should have 3 failures approx, so add 3 mandrake, 1 of each meat, and 3 acid... for another 7pp or so. Then subtract 1 failure in 20 on the GLM for a likely 114 drinks made. I think this gives a better average cost, as I said up there, 1.5pp each or so is the closest to actual average I'd care to wager.

I never did break it down so well, I just looked at my money before/after and did a rough estimate

[javalin]

i spend 1200 per 140 combines 7 full stacks
failure rate on the actual final combine for me seems really low i only fail like 1-6 times per 140 combines always end up with over 800 drinks cant keep em in stock make put on bazaar mule gone the next day

edit thats with 135 cha fyi

True Cost

The true cost should account for a 95% success rate on the sub-combines, and whatever your actual success rate is on the final. A quick estimate would be cost-without-failures times 1.05.

Don't ignore the cost of the Corking Device. You should prorate the cost over how many Grobb's you've made. If you've made 1,000 Grobb's, and the Corking Device cost you 2,000pp, your total cost per Grobb's is about 3.2pp.
