You get maximum reward only for complete success and that is capped at 300 xp/mat. When I mentioned this, I was directed to a website with the formula I had derived, derived at least a year before. (Memory fails, but I think it was Kalyndra who had done it.)
Those reults are on bunnynet and included in the Mats Calculator spreadsheets that were put on the old forums back in 2007 .... moved to new forums in 2009.
BTW, for some reason new subscribers can't sign up on bunnynet. Until it's fixed, if ya want the Mats Calculators (3 available - Armor, Weapons, Ranged) , send me a IG e-mail w/a real e-mail address and I will e-mail them to you.
If ya wondering what they do .... you input ya bulk used (you, mount, packers ....whatever is with ya) and it calculates how many of each mat you should dig so that you don't have 0 of one mat and 136 leftovers of another when done.
