Flaming Humbaba questions

I was wondering if anyone knew the exact number of grind ore this buff removes the energy cost on.  I thought it was total but with a huge stack of ore I drank it and I kept getting the message that i would not have enough energy to finish after the buff wore off.

Is there a set number of ore that it affects and then quits or what?
Do you know what that number is?

  • The buff only lasts so many seconds. As long as the buff is up, the ore you grind has no energy cost. Anything that would take time to grind past the buff's end will cost energy. So, no, there is no set number of ore, but time it takes that limits the drink.

    The amount of ore would depend on your level of refining and how quickly you start grinding after drinking. I think I could get about 190-200 done on a buff, though I've only been doing about 170-175. For all I know, I could do more than 200, just haven't tried it.

  • You can get 3 chunks of 50 ores grind under the buff with about a second left if you have Refining 2. I don't remember about Refining 1.

  • Elly - just so you know, you can grind from the grinder rather than on each stack and probably get more in.

  • With refining 2, if I hurry, I can do about 250 ore.  If something slows me down, it's a little less.  If I make sure to only have the exact ore I want to grind, I can do it slightly faster, and so I can do slightly more.  I feel like it should only start the countdown once you start grinding, as the current set up is way too dependent on dexterity/reflexes.
