Resin

Source

Resin is produced over time off Trees which have been "nicked" with a Resin Wedge.

Cost

If a player has a Resin Wedge in their inventory, the following options will become available:

• Gather the resin and nick the (Tree) - Keyboard shortcut N
• Re-nick the (Tree) - keyboard shortcut N

The amount of time needed for the resin to collect is variable, depending on the Quality of the wedge used and it is not then reserved for the person who nicked the tree - any person with a Resin Wedge may collect it.

Uses

• Used in Aromatics (Incense)
• Used in a Reactory in the creation of Alloys.
• Used in Chemistry as they can be made into Essences.

Wedge Quality vs. Resin Production Rates

• 2200 quality takes about 2 hours to produce resin.
• 5200 quality takes about 1 hour to produce resin.
• 9000 quality takes about 26 minutes to produce resin.

Hypothesis: a tree produces N resin in approximately N*N * (10500 - wedge quality) seconds:

Quality	Time to collect N resin
	1	2	5	10
2000	2:21	9:26	59:01	236:06
5000	1:31	6:06	38:11	152:46
8000	0:41	2:46	17:21	69:26
8500	0:33	2:13	13:53	55:33
9000	0:25	1:40	10:25	41:40
9500	0:16	1:06	6:56	27:46

So unless you have a very low quality (<5000) wedge, once 1 resin has accumulated it is always better to gather the resin and re-nick rather than leaving the tree to gather more, even if the tree was nicked with a very high quality wedge originally.
