If you apply it last, you get pretty close numbers (75% obviously), and I do like it. I'll play with it a bit. I'm not sure whether it's better to apply the 75% before the square or after, as it throws the numbers in different directions...

 

[Kalanyr]

Yeah multiplying 0.75 before squaring is the same as multiplying by 0.5625 after squaring.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about!

Heh, Creamsteak and I are trying to work out a formula for enchantments that makes them more expensive than the basic armour/weapons because they stack, but doesn't make them so expensive you can buy 10 suits of the basic armour for an equivalent enchantment. After we work it out we were going to see what you thought of it.

Oh and are there any plans to reimplement jobs at any time in the near future ?

 

[Creamsteak]

Yeah, me and Kalanyr are trying to make an enchantments list/price system that makes sense throughout the game. Here is my original excel file. Hp/MP is Value to the 1.75th power, and Strength/Defense is to the 2nd.

Kalanyr's idea of using squared on both and just reducing HP/MP to 75% might work pretty well too. I've got some interesting items in the attachment, in my opinion. Ignore the stuff after the 3 line break though, that's just there for testing higher end values to see if the mechanics remain stable out to rediculous levels (which they almost never will).

Yeah, I was going to base it on that list in the other thread. My current state of health (the worst cold ever!) kinda interrupted that, though!

I'm really hoping that the developer makes jobs do a bit more than just pay a wage, though. It'd be really cool if each had a special ability.

 

[Kalanyr]

Ouch, colds can be remarkable evil. Hope you recover well.

Looking good so far!

Ack! I was counting on my job to be able to pay Crothian back the loan he gave me yesterday. Without that paycheck coming, I need to make... 70 posts... or else he's gonna break my legs! Help
