    no summary? :/
    edit: oh, there is one starting at 5:45! :)<3
    edit²: oh, and your video shows that in order to upgrade one purple ring/necklace to gold I'd need a total of 20.000-22.000 platinum dust.
    edit³: oh wait, that's 20.000-22.000 platinum dust per plating, multiplied by the number of platings required for a 100% that's a whooping 160.000-176.000 platinum dust.. :o
    hm, this makes me wonder what the calculations by the devs/gameplay designers look like.

    I got totally distracted and disturbed by the zombie cat.

    Also, why does a "medieval" game world have jewelry crafting that looks like watch making?
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I'm on console, so I very well understand why this cat became a mindless zombie after farming and especially refining that amount of raw materials... :s

    The whole idea with collecting 10 parts of booster or traits to get only 1 actual booster or trait was completely wrong.
    I has a feeling what I'm playing Korean F2P game and there is Item Mall button with boosters on sale somewhere, must be!

    The long-term average rates for refinement is the same across all the crafts--including jewelry (except that the rate is for grains--and these rates have remained unchanged for years:
    • 15% for green (78 expected from 5200 dust)
    • 12.5% for blue (65 expected from 5200 dust)
    • 7.5% for purple (39 expected from 5200 dust)
    • 5% for gold (26 expected from 5200 dust)

    Didn't watch the video, so not sure how close to those expected values the OP actually got. Statistically speaking, 5200 raws is a pretty small sample size, though.

    I was farming to get 10,000 but half way lost hope and just refined at 5,200.

    Then you need to watch it or just go straight to 5:46
    He got
    49 green grains = ~5 green boosters
    58 blue grains = 5 blue boosters
    50 purple grains = 5 purple boosters
    20 gold grains = 2 gold boosters

    Probably, JC has the same rates as other craftings, but while other craftings has this rates for boosters, JC has it for grains and this is BS.

    The stats on 5:45 have bad wording, the "after" side is what I gained not sure why I didn't catch that.
