@ArchMagus: That is the formula used for post-sweep (as seen in WF, but doubled in that game). AQ uses a different standard in the interim. Also, the multiplier for boss is not quite two. I have revised my sweep standards to include the discussion of monster rewards, both pre-sweep and post-sweep, so hopefully that'll clarify things a bit.

@TRB1965: I have added a spreadsheet that addresses the issue of the AQ daily caps, and I have also included columns for AQ post-sweep (or at least what it appears to be post-sweep) and WF.

@Razen: I have gone in an tried to answer your questions. Refer to [17], [18], and [21] for ~complete information.

Removed post because my question was answered in a roundabout way during an earlier discussion concerning the weapon damage formula.

[13] Standard Monster Defense

Does this give the value before monster DEX/LUK? 200 DEX/LUK gives ~30 blocking, standard 130 monster has 80 AMD, and the formula gives me ~50. It looks like it all falls together nicely, but perhaps a clarification is needed?

Sorry for the slow response...

I gave Defense (before accounting for monster stats) rather than AMD, since monsters are prone to use DEX and LUK values that don't fit the neat "DEX is secondary, capping at 200" and "LUK is tertiary, capping at 200" scheme. Granted, lots of monsters don't use standard Defense either, but they can usually be recognized as using modifications in multiples of 5.

I've added a note to the guide that hopefully clarifies this point.

[EDIT]: Okay, I've capitulated and added an AMD formula for the "default" monster build. You're going to want to enter this one into Excel or OpenOffice.

Since this guide is about game formulas, I'd like to reference about certain formulas that are apparently not yet included here.
(Unless it's just hidden within the great jumble of words in the guide and I just can't see it)Could it be possible to add in the "Common Damage Multipliers" the damage penalties that spells, skills or specials receive when associated with status conditions like burn, frozen, poisoned, etc..? I'm assuming it's *0.6X damage since so far that's the recent norm, unless the staff chooses it by by random everytime. But I'm very sure that there must be a standard for such penalties?
Also(If there is a set standard) the damage compensations for attacks locked to an element. So far, I've noticed *1.9X damage for same element at around ~lvl130 taking the Chillax Crusader and Guardian Block armors as reference, but then again it appears to be randomly chosen, else, scaled by level.

Slow response, but here we go:

There's not a fixed compensation for being locked into elements. The multipliers depend on the armor's Resistance distribution and the choice of elements (and how much of each element is used), and not all the necessary information is available publicly. Level also indirectly affects the multipliers. Basically it's not possible right now, and even when it becomes possible, it probably won't be practical to include.

As for multipliers, the use of them depends on certain factors: the power of the attack being used (spells are stronger than Melee/Ranged weapon specials, which in turn are stronger than Magic weapon specials), the duration of the status, the save penalty/bonus, and (in some cases) the status effect's intensity. I may include some descriptions to assist here when I have the time, but they would not fit into the usual multiplier discussion.

Not quite sure what happened, but the table of gold/XP caps is slightly wrong. My L91 character's cap is, according to the chart, 194150 gold--and yet he's currently at 199104 and still gaining.

@Avoleii Evanesca/Kaelin: Perhaps this information is what's needed for the element-locking-compensation.

Nex: 194150 gold is the daily X-G gold cap for L88. I think you mistook row 91 for level 91.

Avoleii/Watashig: In terms of element-locking, the particular link works to a partial extent, although it does not fully explain how Chillax's regular attack works, which is locked in such a way that hits multiple elements. Furthermore, it does not explain what do to when element-locking results in an SP/MP cost reduction instead of a damage multiplier (although that information, like the information IMR gave, is embedded in the Armor spreadsheets). I'll see what I can do about that partial explanation later on, although I expect those standards to change in the future anyway.

I have added some notes about damage reductions to balance out stuff that causes status effects.

I will update this guide to reflect any XP/gold-related changes. There is no need to post a request, formula, or other information. Please wait until Saturday (June 9) to post concerning any missing or incorrect information.

Sorry - I didn't see your post, instead hit reply right at the top of the thread on the other page :/

I started making something in Excel for the new Caps etc, and here's a table I made in the process, this is without the *1.1 X-G boost. The ratio basically shows how many levels you can get from capping, and as a point of interest, 115 is the point that you stop being able to gain a level a day, and is ~~also the same~~ 125 for X-Gs.

One other thing, I see you've done cumulative Exp already, but how would I go about working out the amount of days capped to reach the new level, or basically, how would I get the average daily cap from one level to another?

I've already done an XP list (posted on Thursday, in fact), so there's no need to make one (it also has cumulative XP rolled in). I haven't uploaded a table for daily caps yet, but as I stated in the guide (in the Edit Log section) and in my previous post, I'll update things when I have the chance. Please do not try to supply this information yourself, because it can have errors (your list does not round XP for XP-to-level to the nearest 10 as it should) or it may not fit the format I want to use for the guide. In most cases, I have already have tables, but I need to make some revisions or format changes here or there.

I will need another day to get this guide up to date, so please be patient. It should be ready by Sunday (server time). If you still see problems at that point, then please let me know.

[EDIT]: Okay, the guide should be up to date.

[EDIT]: Rolled stat price training update. The guide gets a slight bit shorter.

[Small EDIT]: For kicks, I've simplified/factored the HP/MP formulas. They aren't much shorter, but they should be easier to use. If you've got something like 50 END at L90, it should be reasonable enough to perform a calculation of [(90/20 + 1)(50 + 100)]. Even if the division is "hard" for you, it's easy to take a calculator to divide 90/20, add 1, and then multiply 150 (that last sum should be easy to do in your head!)

TRB1965
Warganizer!

@Kaelin - any updates on the daily cap formulas? When calculated as stated above (I get the same numbers as you), they are a little bit.

The formula says a level 120 x-guardian should experience cap at 10,672,592. My level 120 X-guardian capped at somewhere between 10,509,397 and 10,559,386. And he's not the only one. In the Erebus war there was pretty much a consensus that everyone was capping somewhere between 96% and 98% of the listed values. But there was no consistency to it, so it appears to be a rounding issues somewhere, but I tried every way I can of rounding the formula and it's various components and found nothing that works.

[11] Monster Encounter Levels

According to your formula the lowest level monster I can encounter is 97.75.

1) I still encounter bun-bards at lvl 95 in random battles, why is that?

2) Are numbers rounded normally, down, or up?

@TRB1965 I'm having the same issues as you, the thing is, the cap always seems to be lower than stated, I wonder if it is because numbers are always rounded down (eg 97.75 rounded to 97)?

I have a doubt about rounding numbers. I will use the number 123,45 as example:

Round off the contents in the brackets to the nearest integer.
123,45 = 123

"[ ]" = Round down the contents in the brackets to the nearest integer.
123,45 = 123 (same result than Round Down?)

quote:

Damage Reduction: (Expected Status Attempt Rate) * [50 - (Enemy's Save Bonus)] * (Effect Value)

In section 23, I'm just wondering about the above. That can be re-arranged by:

Damage Reduction = (Expected Status Attempt Rate) * [50 - (Enemy's Save Bonus)] * (Effect Value)
Damage Reduction / (Effect Value) = (Expected Status Attempt Rate) * [50 - (Enemy's Save Bonus)]
(Effect Value) = (Expected Status Attempt Rate) * [50 - (Enemy's Save Bonus)] * Damage Reduction

Which to me looks like if the enemy get's a negative save bonus, so basically a save penalty, the value of the effect should be greater, and hence, using DoT effects like Poison as an example, the Poison effect can either deal more damage, or last longer, in return for Poison being easier to inflict. If it's supposed to be + then I have no problem, or if I have arranged it wrong, then please do say :)

For your Monster MP:

Monster HP = (MonsterSetHP + END*1.5) * Random Number Between 0.950-1.050
Monster MP = (MonsterSetHP + INT*1.5) * Random Number Between 0.950-1.050

^ is that suppose to be setHP or setMP since right above it you mention sethp/mp:

MonsterSetHP/MP = Each monster has a set amount of HP/MP they get as a "base" amount (Example: a Frogzard has a set HP of 30). The "END" and "INT" below are the values belonging to the monster rather than the player.

ugauga: Yes, sometimes rounding off (to the nearest) give the same result as rounding down.

Duskstar: Yes, if an enemy receives a negative save bonus, it means the effect has a higher chance of inflicting, which makes the impact of the status effect stronger.

"Effect Value" is basically in the equation to stand for how much impact a status effect will have (once it is inflicted). For one turn of paralysis, this would be 1.4, since that is the expected damage a player would do (in terms of Melee units) in their free turn. Weaker status effects (like -50 DEX for one turn, or a Blind worth -10 BtH) would receive a small multiplier, and thus the damage reduction for them would be much less.

The reason my equation is arranged the way it is is to dictate how much of a penalty the weapon (or spell, or pet, or whatever) takes in order to produce the given effect given the other parameters. Certainly if you want to know how power a status effect is rated to be, you can rewrite your equation in the way you have, but the equation is written in a way to explain how calculations are handled (I think) by the Knights.

Dragoon23: Thank you!

Okay, I guess I kind of read it the wrong way, and so got confused. Thanks for clarifying that :)

Also, because I noticed you didn't have it, I've got a weapon special B/R and SLS formula which rolls the proc rate in as well:

SBR: =(ROUND((((((0.8*((((«Weapon Base»+(«Weapon Random»/2))*(100+(3*«Power Level»)))+((((MROUND(MIN(((2.1462*«Power Level»)+10.399),200),5))/8)*(100+(6.6*«Power Level»)))/2))/100))+(0.2*(ROUND(((((-0.00000349*(«Power Level»^3))+(0.000552*(B3^2)))+(0.0801*«Power Level»))+1.67),2)*(«Weapon Base»+(«Weapon Random»/2)))))-((1-(20/100))*((((«Weapon Base»+(«Weapon Random»/2))*(100+(3*«Power Level»)))+((((MROUND(MIN(((2.1462*«Power Level»)+10.399),200),5))/8)*(100+(6.6*«Power Level»)))/2))/100)))*100)/((20/100)*(«Weapon Base»+(0.5*«Weapon Random»)))),0)/100) {{this is the bit which rolls in the proc rate}}*((1 - 0.91*(1-«Proc Rate»))/«Proc Rate»)/(1.5*0.91)

I had *0.9 first, but 0.91 just rounded up nicer.

However, I appreciate that the rest of it is more than extremely messy, so I'll see if I can simplify it in any way. The SLS one's much nicer:

SLS: =ROUND((100+(«Power Level»*6.6)),0)/100*((1 - 0.9*(1-«Proc Rate»))/«Proc Rate»)/(1.5*0.9)

I don't know if you want them or not, but I've noticed you don't have it, so there you go :)

I'll be looking at this issue (and updating things for the cap raise) within a few days.

What's the difference between Weapon Special Hit Rate and Special Rate?

EDIT - THANKS Watashig :)

The former is the frequency in which the weapon special hits or misses. The latter is the frequency in which the weapon special occurs, or procs.

Over here, which part(s) is divided by 2?
Is it (Weapon Base) * (Armor Base) + (Weapon Random) * (Armor Random) / 2
or is it (Weapon Random) * (Armor Random) / 2

Remember the order of operations, which is in the beginning:

quote:

2) Order of Operations:

As in all mathematics, expressions are simplified in the order below.
[a] Parentheses: Anything inside parentheses takes priority. When there are multiple layers of parentheses, simplify the innermost layers first.
[b] Exponents: Exponents come next. Work left to right.
[c] Multiplication and Division: Both of these operations are done next. Work left to right.
[d] Addition and Subtraction: Both of these operations are last. Work left to right.

Example:
3 - 4 * (5 + 3 ^ 3) / 8
= 3 - 4 * (5 + 27) / 8 <-- First we work inside the parentheses. The Exponent takes priority over the Addition.
= 3 - 4 * (32) / 8 <-- We do the addition in the parentheses.
= 3 - 4 * 32 / 8
= 3 - 128 / 8 <-- Multiplication and Division have priority over the Subtraction, so we work the Multiplication left to right.
= 3 - 16
= -13

It's the latter, because division comes before addition. So if I had a weapon with 16 base and 32 random, in an armor with 669% base/random, we'd have:

16 * 669% + 32 * 669% / 2 + stats
= 107.04 + 214.08 / 2 + stats
= 107.04 + 107.04 + stats
= 214.08 + stats
