Time on crafting tasks

fyrstigor

Could a dev please explain the math behind crafting times to me.

Base speed 10 min.
+25% speed (faster) 8 min.
-25% speed (slower) 13 min 20 sec.

And something else, the speed multiplier will by many maybe even most people be thought of as "time spend doing task" instead of speed it does a task at. So having + making it slower, and - making it faster, its somewhat opposite and very confusing. With commission and speed multiples having opposite effects it kinda makes the system harder to understand, specially for new players.

Basic elementary math,

Let's say it takes 1000 "units" of work to complete a task.

• At a base speed of 100 units/minute it takes 1000/100 or 10 minutes
  
• With +25% your speed is 125 units/minute, so the work takes 1000/125 or 8 minutes.
  
• With -25% your speed is 75 units/minute, so the work takes 1000/75 or 13.3333 minutes, 13 minutes, 20 seconds in other words.
