Ive been putting in 13 iron ore and 12 lime, only getting one ore out. used to be 182% so usually get two once in a while get one. Im assuming it got changed but I didn't read that in the patch notes, did it?

yes it has been changed.

ok thanks, JC nice updates by the way. Really enjoying the game

is the change broken down somewhere so Im not wasting ore or lime?

Not yet. You should start a thread posting your results in trying different combinations and encourage other pilgrims to share theirs as well. The new formula is up for speculation and discovery at this point.

I will do that then, I can't tell what is left over there is no numbers showing that

Heh, with new iron ore mining nerf this would be long and painfull process...

My guesses would be:

Clothing with + Affluence/Mining could affect how many ores are likely to turn into bars when mined. (I'm wearing +180 Affluence though, so that may not be a value)
Your Sparks & Embers/Mines & Mountains Skill could affect how many ores are likely to turn into bars when mined.

The Ratios to ore:lime (Everything I've tried has only yielded 1 bar so far)

Possibility of an average of the 3 elements per ore and charcoal used could affect how much return you get.

The order of which you put charcoal and items into the smelter?

10 lime and 15 ore gives 2 bars every time for me

I'm new so my stuff is extremely low
