Editing Blacksmithing Ranking Guide/Average Materials

== Average Materials Required ==

=== Assumptions ===

* Production Mastery '''rank 1''' (+15%), '''270 Dex''', solo, no rain, '''no''' Monday, no potions.
* Base life multiplier '''4x'''.
* Training weapons/armours used only for success counts are '''left at 100%''', never finished, and cheaper manuals used for completion requirement.
* Numbers generated running 20,000 simulations that use the guide's method, backed by Aura's source code for success and completion, and using Auranogi's client-side manual data.

Total crafting attempts F to Master ≈ '''4,500'''. Ranks 6 through 1 account for ~69% of them, ranks 9-7 for ~22%, and everything from F to A for '''under 9%'''.

Fine Leather Straps (~4,500 to reach rank 1, ~5,600 including the Master title) are the single hardest line to supply, corroborating the guide's "leathers are the bottleneck" warning.
