I checked tool wearing during armor crafting right now, on a sample of 1454 mats it was 52 per percent of tool life, i.e. 5200 mats over the lifetime. This is consistent with what I recall from my experiences: I usually dig for two packers, then craft, and the tool wears out during the third crafting series. I did not realize any change of wearout recently. Thanks to all for OC explanations, some was new to me.
I think Cral nailed it .... wear is prolly proportianal to number of crafts, not mats used .... Jools is my last craft so methinks Im noticing this cause Im only using 8 mats per craft as oppossed to HA which can have 40 :)
