I just completed a society task to create 10 "Grey Wind" spell scrolls.Each scroll requires a minimum of 8.5 Tier 2 fuels if you count the paper and quills, and make your own pristine stromas.I received 14s64c and 100 status points upon completing the task.Fuel cost: 85 x 24c = 20s40cFuel profit margin: 14s64c / 20s40c = 0.72 or a 28% LOSS!!!(a 20% profit would have come to 24s48c).Apparently, SOE calculates the fuel use as:Fuel use: (14s64c / 1.2) / 24c = 50.83 fuels or 5.08 fuels per scroll.The cost of goods for this task is 21s30c if you use 100% harvested materials, acquire the interdependent supplies at cost, and buy aerated water instead of killing 100 gnolls for canine saliva.Since water was my only cost other than fuel, I should have come out ahead by 3s18c. Instead, those 100 status points cost 6s66c!!!Talk about a sinister nerf!
