[Dbones PTS Decon Test Data] CP 150/160 Intricate Loot Decon IP Scaled to Craft Skill Level Only

I have been running a lot of different craft data tests just to answer some unique questions on ESO Reddit and wanted to run this by the Masters here.

The latest question was whether it was more efficient to start Craft-Swap-Decon or pure Loot Decon to level hard crafts. I still have to finish up with all the data to put that side by side for a definitive answer, especially when starting a Level 3 character (Starting level from skipping Tutorial). I need to check the returns for starting crafted vs leveled loot prior to BS-Wood-Cloth Skill Level 19/20 when you start receiving full max IP from CP150/160 crafted decon.

While running the decon IP numbers for CP150/160 loot strictly from Max Level Writs and Dolmen/Dungeon Loot I noticed some different results than I would have expected:
  • Level 4 starting PTS character, NO CP, ESO+, No Points in BS Skill Tree. IP returns from both Loot Drop and Harven's Experience Notify addons.
  • ALL Loot at CP150/160 returns the same IP from Base White, Base White Traited, Ornate, Intricate and even Gold PTS Set Items, from BS L3 until BS L24.
  • At BS L24 CP150 Ornate Loot reaches a max IP return of 8467.
  • At BS L26 CP160 Ornate Loot reaches a max IP return of 8837.
  • PTS CP160 Gold Set Items return the same IP as CP160 Intricate items until BS L36 when they reach a max IP return of 14168.
  • CP150/160 Intricate items return the same IP at all levels, increasing at all levels of BS Skill until a max IP return of 23936 at BS L49.

I would have expected CP150 and CP160 items to give different IP returns based solely on material level. I also would have expected Gold Set Loot to give different IP returns based on item quality.

At least on PTS there is no distinction between items as there are in crafted decon,

Q. Can anyone spot check any of these numbers if they have time with copied PTS characters.

Q. Has anyone else already seen these results? Has anything changed from previous testing?

Q. Has anyone seen these same results on current CWC live? I will try to spot check on live this week.
