Haha nice, I was looking all over for that. Can't remember where all my old v2 stuff is backed up at. Of course we'll have to make some modifications to that guide to reflect the changes over the years since I wrote it. Glad you held on to this Smile

im the author.

heres a mathematical approach to character raising. i believe the author is the ORIGINAL pwntato

"A traditional approach to raising a character generally looks at the bases. It says, get this base of skill x. Keep the bases of skill y 5 under it. However, I will explain in this post why that is not an efficient use of EXP.

Consider this scenario:
EXP costs for skills and attributes are constant. If you raise sword one point for 8 experience, the next point still costs 8 experience. In this scenario, raising your character traditionally makes sense. After you have raised sword 119 points on a Templar, taking the 120th point immediately would still be reasonable.

The reality is:
As one of your bases increases, so does the EXP cost to raise that base. If the increase were constant, it would not be too hard to make a formula to describe when you should raise what for maximum efficiency. However, the increase increases. If the increase of the increase were constant, it would not be too hard to make a formula to describe when you should raise what for maximum efficiency. However, the increase of the increase also increases. And if the increase of the increase's increase were constant, it would not be as hard to make a formula to describe when you should raise what for maximum efficiency.
The increase's increase's increase's increase is relatively constant. I put the costs of the first 29 points of rest into my calculator and performed numerous regressions. The quartic regression was the most accurate, and I felt that its error was within an acceptable limit. However, the coefficients (a, b, c, d) are almost random. They are decimals that are not at all easy to work with.

What does this mean?
Holy heck it would be a pain in the butt to make a formula or program to tell you when to raise what. It would be much easier to look at the EXP costs of various skills and compare them. In order to compare the effects of raising different skills, you must first have a goal.


Example of a Goal:

Say my warrior (I won't include spell bonus calculations, since I don't think it's worth the effort) seems to be getting hit a lot and having a hard time hitting, so I want to raise my sword mod. My sword costs 114084 to raise. My strength and agility each cost 56000 to raise. My braveness costs 29412 to raise. My bless costs 24000 to raise. Though unrelated to my goal, my curse, protection, and enhance weapon cost 24000 to raise each.

Sword: 114084EXP for one point. Simple enough.

Strength: 5 str points will give me one point of sword. Since I know that the cost will increase, the cost of one point of sword mod by strength is more than 280000.

Agility: The same.

Braveness: 5 points of braveness will give me one point of sword as well as one point of curse, protection, and enhance weapon (notice that I don't include bless, as it raising it by one point is generally insignificant - raising bless through attributes raises the attributes through bless, etc. etc. with diminishing rounded returns.) So, I compare one point of braveness to one-fifth the sum of the skills it mods that I care about. BRV =? .2(SWD+CUR+PRO+ENH) To plug in the numbers, 29412 < 37216.8 so I should raise Braveness if I want to increase both my spells and sword with efficiency. However, if I don't care about my spells right now then BRV =? .2(SWD) and 29412 < 22816.8 and I should keep raising my sword base.

Bless: I determined through experimentation that about every 4.5 power of bless will increase your attributes by one point each. Since 3 attributes (if the same attribute is repeated so is the bonus) are applied to each skill and then divided by 5, we can multiply by our conversion factors to find the amount that bless will affect skills.
(1attribute/4.5bless)(3skillmod/5attributes)= 2/15
Every 15 points in bless will give you 2 points of skills (this doesn't account for double-blessing). Since 15 bless points equal 2 skill points, it would make sense to keep bless' EXP cost at (2/15)*(EXP costs of every other skill you care about - usually weapon skill and combat skills).
BLE =? (2/15)(SWD+CUR+PRO+ENH)
24000 < 24811.2
Since the cost of raising bless is less than 2/15ths of the sum of the costs of the skills (not attributes) it modifies, it is acceptable to raise bless.


Anyway, I just thought posting this would allow everyone to make use of it if they'd like, there isn't too much information on this forum about how to actually raise your char. Some other constants (bless constant is 2skillmods/15bless):
3.55prot/1AV (I'm guessing that the same is true for enhance weapon)
3.95MS/1AV

Feel free to ask questions or comment below.


Edit- Some more questions I'd like answered in the future (will add to this list):
When fighting someone, does the difference between your weapon (or h2h) mods determine how often each player hits, or is it the ratio of the two? (will 2 sword mod hit 1 sword mod much more than 255 sword mod hits 254 sword mod?)"

There, just a quick run through while I made my dpots, ling locations are listed, however you can find the certain lings in other areas as well, not just in the spots that I noted down. That's just where I loot those certain eyes. However, King and Prince are only in one spot, and their respawn time is 30 minutes(I think).
