For those of you who aren't sure you have all your bases covered, I decided to write this up for an easy to use, and hopefully easy to remember guide. There are 4 steps that are listed and then explained below. Cheers.

1. Determine your target RPs
2. 1-2-3-4 Check
3. Turn in 1 and /stats.
4. Turn in the rest; large first, small last.


Step 1. Determine how many dreads you want to turn in. The easiest way to do this is to go to Rob's website using this tool: http://gaheris.net/p/dread_seal_calc.html

He regularly updates the calculator for events like this month where we're getting a 25% extra bonus for Mythic's 10th anniversary.

Step 2. Gather the items and buffs you need. These include your relic fragment, your artifacts, your mythirian, your relic buff from CV or Breifine and your guild buff. I call this the 1-2-3-4 Check. 1-Items, 2-Mythirian, 3-Relic buff, 4-Guild buff.

Step 3. Do a test run to make sure you have all the bonuses active. Turn in a SINGLE dread, then type /stats. If your RPs earned is 6637 (Assuming you have the maximum bonuses accessible), you're good to turn the rest in. (To see the number YOU need if your bonuses differ, use the gaheris.net calculator by selecting the bonuses you have, checking the "Show details" box. Make your current RPs 0 and target rank 1L2 and click the "Calc" button. On the right-hand side it will show "Truncated RPs per dread: XXXX". That's the number you're looking for.

4. After you're certain you're getting the maximum RPs per dread, turn in your large dreads first, and the smaller dreads last, in case you miscalculated. That way you'll have some left over for other characters in the event that you had too many.

I've been talking to Rob and he's working on simplifying step 3 by tweaking his calculator a little bit, so if you don't mind, once he's done I'd like to have the final version instead of this one

to Marrian~

It's done. "Show details" must be checked. Let me know if that works okay.

P.S. Thanks to you and Beibhinn for helping me get my VN account working again.

I just hand them in and call it a day. Waay to much counting for me . I do put on my rp gear and grab the breifine relic though (oh and make sure the guild buff bonus is up).

i will definitely blame some of my future arthritic joints on turning in seals one at a time.
