Base Stat Calculation

[Sephie]

search function yielded no results, so here goes.

me and a friend of mine are building a damage calculator for FFXI. it will combine melee attacks with haste, DW, and delay reduction included, with WS damage values (all while taking into account accuracy percentages), and also using a gear database function for ease of use when comparing damage between two or more pieces of gear

we hit a minor snag when creating a formula for fSTR, but that's resolved now, and we're hit our first major road block: base stat calculation

the FFXI stat calc (found via google) is wrong. as 75 mithra thf/nin, it's telling me i have 94 base dex...yeah. does anyone know the formulas used in base stat calculation, and how (because i imagine they are) they are level-corrected?

^That one? Works fine for me.

[Nattack]

says a mithra thf/nin has 80 base dex according to this, where are you really looking?

There, I'm guessing. I checked it and it comes up with the 94

Use the one Baelorn posted. The one you posted is no good.

cool, but i need formulae and lists he uses so that i can add it into the program we are creating. i guess i could try emailing him, unless anyone here can give me them

thanks guys :3

Look at the javascript code that runs the page. All the formulas/charts used are in there.

Yeah I know, I was just saying that's the one he used initially, and came up with the wrong numbers. Nattack asked where he was looking.

yep i used Motenten code in FFXI Damage Comparator (see link @ my sig), work pretty accurately. My version is with excel though, while Motenten's is in Java.

On a somewhat related note, can someone give me a link to where monster base stats are located? I would be curious as to how much STR I need to cap out fSTR for some of my BLU spells, namely Cannonball, so I can know at which point STR=VIT in terms of relevance.

It's unknown on most mobs(afaik).

i tried your comparator, works very well, and this is basically the thing i'm trying to accomplish myself, but instead of excel document, i'm trying for a C++ program. i noticed some glitches in it, but i'll PM them to you rather than post them here


actually now that i know that there are people who've created stuff like this...i'm not sure i want to do anything other than just expand the gear, monster, and WS/JA databases when newer content was released, since the only reason i was creating this was out of necessity

is there any way i could get a link to motenten's "comparator?"
