Crafting production rates for improvement mats, data from crafting celebration harvest

Good luck interpreting the table below. It was a direct copy-paste from a notepad text file; maybe you can paste it back into your notepad app and straighten out the columns.

PLATINUM
It was very good to see that Zenimax changed crafting in regard to chromium platings, the gold-level improvement material for jewelry. You no longer have to go through chromium grains and then whack them into chromium platings at a 10:1 ratio. You now get chromium platings directly from platinum dusts. This change will relieve the very severe bottleneck that once throttled the production of gold jewelry items.

For platinum, the number of platinum dusts processed was 56530.
The number of chromium platings extracted was 273, giving an average chromium grain production rate of 207.07 platinum dusts per chromium plating.
Likewise, the average rates were 126.47 platinum dusts per zircon plating; 68.19 platinum grains per iridium plating; and 55.31 platinum dusts per terne plating.

RUBEDITE[/b
For rubedite, the number of ores processed was 90050.
The number of tempering alloys extracted was 493, giving an average tempering alloy production rate of 182.66 rubedite ores per tempering alloy.
Likewise, the average rates were 115.85 rubedite alloys per grain solvent; 69.54 rubedite ores per dwarven oil; and 60.15 rubedite ores per honing stone.

ANCESTOR SILK
For ancestor silk, the number of raw ancestor silks processed was 3940.
The number of dreugh waxes extracted was 19, giving an average dreugh wax production rate of 207.37 ancestor silks per dreugh wax.
Likewise, the average rates were 112.57 ancestor silks per elegant lining; 70.36 ancestor silks per embroidery; and 63.55 ancestor silks per hemming.

RUBEDO LEATHER
For rubedo leather, the number of raw rubedo leathers processed was 2080.
The number of dreugh waxes extracted was 15, giving an average dreugh wax production rate of 138.67 rubedo leathers per dreugh wax.
Likewise, the average rates were 94.55 rubedo leathers per elegant lining; 71.72 rubedo leathers per embroidery, and 65 rubedo leathers per hemming.

RUBY ASH
For ruby ash wood, the number of raw ruby ashes processed was 15380.
The number of rosins extracted was 89, giving an average rosin production rate of 172.81 ruby ashes per rosin.
Likewise, the average rates were 106.07 ruby ashes per mastic; 72.89 ruby ashes per turpen; and 64.62 ruby ashes per pitch.

Sorry for the formating issue. Either the software didn't correctly process one of my bold face tags, or I accidentally deleted part of a tag. I can see no way to edit the post, nor any option to delete it and try again.

There's a cog at top of the page (rather than post) for editing first post.

The refining rates were unchanged in the recent 'crafter' event which was one of the few things made clear at the start - what was stated as affected was recovery of improvement mats from deconstruction of green, blue, purple or gold items.

So, not really sure why you posted this - other than it's always great to see refining data, so thanks for that.

I don't often pay attention to improvement mat return rates from deconstructing items but did notice gold mats from a couple of gold items consigned as decon trash for levelling a new alt's crafting - but two isn't really enough to say much definitively about how good the recovery rate improvement actually was.

Good to see more data, confirming what the rates are still basically the same (always nice to see posts that aren't espousing refining conspiracy theories without evidence

)

I've got 7 million materials refined in my spreadsheet linked in my signature, and your data fits right in with what I've collected over the last several years.
