GC levels

Does anybody have a list of what level of GC you get at which mod?

Somebody told me 155 is a Brig, yet 140 is only a low end Lt Col.

You are a tincan! We need not know these things!

I want to make a low end char with a high end GC

Those are fun to do noob level purple fights with.

I did a bit of looking through the old v2 code to see how GCs work. Here is a bit of what I found:

Your GC's stats, skills, hp, and end raise continuously with your GC mod (some faster than others).

The exp of your GC is then calculated from how high these stats, skills, etc. have been set, and then the GC's rank is given accordingly. Thus ranks do not directly influence the capabilities of your GC.

Instead, and quite surprisingly, the GC's get some hefty av and wv bonuses each time they cross an str/agi armor threshold (e.g. steel = 24/24, cry = 72/72). However, since the GC str raises faster than GC agi, it is really the agi value that limits these bonuses. Finally, note that there is no 'emerald' bonus at 56/56.

My estimates for GC mods which will give you the bonuses (for each race with GC), as well as the size of the bonuses follow:

str/agi	+AV	+WV	Hara	AHara	Seyan
10	14	16	1	1	1
12	24	20	28	27	29
16	34	24	37	35	39
24	44	36	55	53	58
40	54	48	92	88	97
72	64	60	165	158	174
90	80	72	207	197	218

I did a little testing to see how accurate these threshold mods are, and while they aren't perfect, they are close (I was able to get 72 agi at 157 mod instead of 158 on an AH, for instance).

So, the take-home is that GCs do not suddenly get stronger each rank. Your best bet is to follow the above table and ID your GC when you start getting close to a threshold.

Hope this helps!
