Saying that the "average" fellowship member can do two recipes per MA turnaround is arbitrary (as it must be, of course ... any calculations that assume what people can do must be arbitrary, so I'm not picking on that. I'm just clarifying.) Before an FA, I save up tons of time instants and ccs so that I can do more than that ... sometimes all five recipes, but not if they require blueprints or shards. So it will always average less than max, but I think I get pretty close and I don't miss one at night, either, since I reset my MA to correspond to my schedule. Based on my own performance and the performance of my team, I know that no fs would ever have to spend a dime to reach the top spot. Although it's a good thing that not every member is like me, since I'm weak on blacksmiths and we have one member who churns them out nonstop. Overall, though, we have the perfect mix of players, and every single one of them is active in the FA. That is the key, I think ... assembling a team that will go all out and are willing to destroy their stash of time instants and ccs. My AM is great at finding such people.
