Milling time...

I felt I had no clue about what the prices were of inks and in the next step what my lowest glyph price could be so I decided to investigate a bit. I bought a large number of herbs off the auction house and started milling, carefully noting the results.

I went through the lua-code of Auctioneer and made the below small macro to easily find what the herbs cost.

/script s,l,h=BeanCounter.API.getAHProfit(player,"Deadnettle",time()-86400,time()); print (s);

The above macro will search BeanCounter for all Deadnettle auctions the last 24 hours (60*60*24=86400). Just replace item names and time number as needed.

The result from my milling are displayed below:

...	total	ppe	ip	ap	lo	ap
438x Deadnettle	204g 52s 06c	46s 69c	34	238	3	203g 11s 98c
300x Icethorn	139g 00s 00c	46s 33c	39	187	0	139g 00s 00c
3450x Adder's Tongue	2459g 76s 65c	71s 30c	372	2075	0	2459g 76s 65c

ppe = price per each herb
ip = icy pigments from the milling
ap = azure pigments from the milling
lo = leftovers
ap = actual price paid for the herbs deducing leftovers

	Cost/IotS	IotS/mill	Cost/Snowfall Ink	Snowfall Inks/mill
Deadnettle	1g 70s 69c	1,37	11g 94s 82c	0,2
Icethorn	1g 48s 66c	1,56	7g 12s 82c	0,33
Adder's Tongue	2g 37s 09c	1,5	13g 22s 46c	0,27

IotS = Ink of the Sea

Have you done any similar investigations? If so, what were your results?
