| Finish oil without Artisan | 10 × 1,065g | 10,650g |

Plan the work before processing
- Separate the stack by quality and reserve any Truffles or oil needed for bundles, gifts, quests and crafting.
- Compare the raw price with the oil price supported by your current Artisan selection. Process the qualities that improve your sale value.
- Count the bottles your machines can actually finish. Each bottle takes 360 machine-minutes, shown as six in-game hours. Refill routines and overnight machine timing determine the collection dates.
- Keep enough immediately saleable stock for your deadline. Collect field Truffles before a season change, as uncollected Truffles disappear when the next season starts.
