back on the(long derailed) topic - i believe 2 players can get to make mithril stuff in 10 minutes. however - the logistics for that are annoying as heck.

I'm assuming both players start at rockma.

One of them would gather wheat for 3 thatchings as soon as possible, and the other get his architeture up, stone walls, a firemaking bow, a single crude torch and make as many stone pickaxes as possible(at least 8. here i'm making handles from small sticks because small tree stumps take too long to forage), possibly mining and refining the iron by burning the forest along the path. then he keeps the building materials ready and on the crafting tool, mining iron by alternating tools to do it faster. when the other guy arrives(after about 3 minutes) he drops the thatching on the ground while the other gives half of the pickaxes and the crude torch to him. after that the other player goes to the coal deposits and the first one mines iron, alternating pickaxes to do it faster(but only for half the time - the other will be spent refining it.. after 2 more minutes they'll have enough materials to get one's smithing to 4 or 5. the player who made the forge makes iron pots, then steel mix then iron swords(which get ditched), getting his smithing high just enough to make 1 or 2 steel pickaxes(i think the level requirement is 4 - with handles premade as well) and gives them to the other guy, who rushes to mainland's mithril deposit while the smither now focuses his attention on getting 4 gold, 2 rockma hides(optional), going to bento go get the hides(tanning them before foraging) then heading to mainland to catch up with his teammate, which is now entering the mine and getting the ores(which should take about 1 minute, assuming the mithril respawns as soon as the miner is finished with the first batch). he then deploys his forge as soon as the other guy leaves the mine,burns one of his other buildings down to refine the mithril faster, and leaves the armor materials ready but outside the building when he comes back. the miner drops the mithril and rushes to a nearby forest to get medium handles, while the other crafts steel swords with what's left of his steel to get his smithing to 7 and crafts mithril armor and swords, giving them to the miner(which doesn't equip the armor right away). by the time there should be only 30 seconds left, during which the smither crafts the mithril weapons and the miner crafts his tree stumps into more medium handles and the smither crafts his own weapons, getting him too mithril equipment just in time.

by then their thirst should be at 10 and hunger at 40, and their response for that is simply storing all the stuff then reset and equip the armor and equipment as soon as they respawn.
