  • FFXI Game Mechanics

    Knowledge ftw!!!

    I've been meaning to make this post for many days now...and work has always gotten in the way. I'm going to make a quote here, and chop the heck out of it for post length and clarity, as my newbie status on the forum prevents me from posting URL's. Should someone wish to edit my post for a touch of clarity(and/or add said URL), that would be fine. : smile :

    The following quote is from the RDM section and may be found by either browsing or searching for lolNukes!!

    For dINT < 0: D = V + dINT (when dINT is a penalty, the tier mult. is always 1)
    For dINT > 0, but less than some inflection point: D = V + (dINT * M)
    For dINT > 0, but after some inflection point: D = V + (const + (dINT-const) * M / 2))
    (above some critical value, adding INT becomes half as effective)
    For dINT > 0, but after some cap: D = cap
    ...game mechanics. I have spent ALL of my time confounded by this. In the past, I might have been a bit embarrassed to say that I wasn't sure, or didn't know which would be a better choice for gear, or why something worked better than something else. I'm making this post in hopes that someone will point me toward the page(s) that I only know exist because someone has the formulas. I'd like to be able to take my characters stats for any job and race, do the math, and come up with a number for things like...say, damage to a mob(insert your favorite here....), whether it's done by Banish II or by melee..... I'd like to know it all.....

    Your replies are greatly appreciated.

    It also depends a lot on the mobs stats, which, from what I understand, can vary depending on the mobs level. I don't think anyone has ever nailed down mob stats to the point of being to say "X mob has a VIT of Y". All I have ever seen is situations where you fight a lower level mob so you know that you max out on your Atk vs. mob Def. It would be nice to be able to just put in numbers that would show what gear is best, but to my knowledge no one has figured it out that far, so all we have to go on is testing.
