Guilds/HHOFW/mats

This page lists the materials needed to run a vigil, and will show the inventories and targets of the various materials.

Credits

This list was developed using the list prepared by Shivani reflecting T3 vigils as a starting point. That list proved quite accurate and extremely helpful, and we extend warm thanks to Shivani for the work that went into its preparation (and for the donations to the HHoF Worship guild in T3). We will try to improve the accuracy of the numbers in this list as we gain more experience with T4 vigils.

Donations

Always Welcome!!!!!!

The elders of the HHoFW guild do try to gather as many mats as possible, but as a quick scan of the list should make clear, the amount of mats required is prodigious. Our success with vigils in the past, and, undoubtedly, our future success, is dependent on the wonderful folk who keep our chests filled.

Always Needed!!!!

Clearly, a comparison of the "On Hand" column to the "Safe Target" below will show which items we have the most pressing immediate for, but HHoFW plans to run vigils regularly and frequently, so any item in the list you can help with will help a vigil succeed at some point.

Always Appreciated!!!!!

T4 Info

Of note: vegetable seeds and blacksmithed items (possibly limited to shovels) are requested. However, these requests are quite rare; data from one 1500 sac vigil suggests these requests, in total, might be around .5% of all requests, meaning this is nowhere near as onerous as if these items were treated like the other 86 sacrifice items. I have added a special section in the mats list below for these items. For now I'm assuming that the tools requests are limited to shovels and, possibly, carp blades. Carp blades should be no issue at all since we should have a supply for our carp shops on hand.

It is ore instead of metal now being requested (and in the same numeric quantities -- so this is a much easier item now, except silver). (Elders: please leave whatever metal we have in vigil storage. Given Teppy's acknowledgement that the early tale furnaces are overly ore hungry, and that the blast furnace and others to come change this, the switch to ore might be temporary.)

I'm accumulating a datbase of vigil sac requests, and have adjusted the numbers below based on the observations I have, projected to 1250 sacrifices and weighted about 50-50 with T3 numbers. (I have data for 922 sacs in my database so far. Of course, this is much too small an observation set to rely on at this point.) In general, the numbers are in line with T3; fish might be slightly higher, flax may be no longer requested, though all the other flax items are.

Comments

• The "Avg. Requirement" column is the mean amount required for a 1250 sacrifice vigil (this was the normal number of sacs accomplished in a T3 vigil extending from dinner time Friday until late afternoon Sunday). However, in any given vigil, the actual amount of any given material requested can vary substantially from this mean.

• The "Safe Target" column is the amount which should be on hand to insure, given the variance in amounts requested for a given vigil, that we will not run out of that material. Note that the amount here reflects the ease or difficulty of manufacture or collection of the given item. For example, the "safe" amount for crucibles is not terribly greater that the mean required amount, since we will have Mason's Benches near the vigil site and can easily generate more if demand is high. However, the safe amount for medium stones is well above the mean required amount, to insure there is a supply for crucible and nail mould manufacture, and reflecting the difficulty (you try to organize a dig in the middle of the night!) of gathering more on short notice.

• We believe this is the complete list. Note that, for example, large gems, cactus sap, metals (as opposed to ores), serpent fish, forged items, glass, grilled vegetables, flystones, gravel were never asked for.
