Ore Smelter + Purity

[zindah]

Hey, I found a Mine with 2% Purity Ore if I do 12 Lime 13 Ore Like Wiki I get out everytime 2 Bars (with 1% Purity)

so now with 2% Purity how high is the chance to get out 3 Bars?

Actually that wiki page is outdated. It's no longer a chance. You have to fill some kind of a bar to get iron ingot. This bar is filled everytime you smelt, for ((2+nr of lime) * nr of ore) %. So if you use 12 lime and 13 ore you fill 182% of the bar, which gives you 1.82 ingot on average.

So ((2+nr of lime) * nr of ore) %

((purity+nr of lime) * nr of ore) = %

but when I get every 100% a bar why I get everytime 2 bars with 1% ? Make no sense for me ^^

purity has nothing to do with amount of iron bars. This 2 in my formula is constant. Whether it's 0% or 100% purity, it's always 2 in that formula

So for what are now the Purity? Then it is useless? And when I get 182% why I get allways 2 can you explain? I just try to understand

iron's purity determines purity of products. Currently it's only useful for inspirationals made with iron (lover's locket, hunting tropheum, or whatever it's called) as the higher purity of an inspirational, the more proficiency points it provides when studying.

And about this 182%...

After first smelting you get 1 bar, and 82% is saved in smelter.
After second smelting you will reach 82% + 182% = 264%, so it will give 2 bars and 64% will be saved in smelter.
After third smelting you will reach 64% + 182% = 246%, so it will give 2 bars and 46% will be saved in smelter.
After fourth smelting you will reach 46% + 182% = 228%, so it will give 2 bars and 28% will be saved in smelter.

And so on. In sixth smelting you will get 1 bar again, and then 2 bars for couple next smeltings.

No, it doesn't make difference how you put the ore and lime in the smelter. Only the quantities matter

[zindah]

So Lovers Locked has 2401 with 0 % Pure so with 2% Pure = 6800 ? Or only 2% more?

You should read on wiki about purity.
2% purity is roughly 20% more.
