Talk:Equipment Ranges

I'm moving this info to the talk page just in case because, as far as I know, it's outdated (applies to pre-0.82 equipment). -lestion

Formulas

Put formulas for calculating base rolls, derived bases, and projected maximums, as well as how "slot" effects gear.

• Total_Roll: Value when Base_Roll, Suffix_Roll, and Quality_Bonus are all added together
• Base_Roll: Range of values that can appear on a piece of gear
• Suffix_Roll: Range of values that get added due to a suffix
• Quality_Bonus: Value added based on overall quality of the piece of gear
• Slot_Mod: Multiplier for gear based on what slot it is worn
• Derived_Base: Value that can be seen on a piece of gear based on the rolls it got during creation
• Base_Multiplier: Value that is multiplied with the base to determine the Derived_Base
• Projected_Maximum: Maximum values that can be obtained on a piece of gear based on the formulas and observed values

A lot of rounding occurs when going back and forth between the Rolls and the Derived values.

• "round()" will be used for rounding to the nearest whole number
• "roundP()" will be used for rounding to the nearest percentile (second decimal)
• "floor()" will be used for rounding down
• "ceil()" will be used for rounding up

Total_Roll = Base_Roll + Suffix_Roll + Quality Bonus
Total_Roll = Derived_Base / Base_Multiplier
Quality_Bonus = Total_Roll - floor(Total_Roll)

If an equipment is forged, the additional multiplier applies to Base_Roll and Suffix Roll only (i.e. Quality_Bonus part is unaffected)

Since Base_Roll and Suffix_Roll are separate, they must be kept separate when determining the final value on a piece of gear.

Derived_Base = (ceil( round(Base_Roll * Slot_Mod)) +
ceil( round(Suffix_Roll * Slot_Mod)) + Quality_Bonus) * Base_Multiplier

Slot_Mod' is as follows:

Slot	Amount
Body	1.2
Legs	1.1
Head	1
Hands	0.9
Feet	0.8
Weapons & Shields	1

Projected_Maximums' use the highest Rolls and Quality_Bonus seen on gear and are then plugged into the above formula to obtain the projected maximums.

For Quality_Bonus, 0.00 is used for the Derived_Base minimum and 0.865 is used for the Derived_Base maximum. Quality_bonuses range from 0 to ~15 depending on the PXP0 value of equipment: Quality_Bonus = (PXP0-100)/25

If an equipment is forged, the additional multiplier applies to Base_Roll and Suffix Roll only (i.e. Quality_Bonus part is unaffected)
