.DAT Mining: 6/17/2014 Update - Findings and Discussion

[Sechs]

That's lame, I was expecting identical values to the HP/MP ones. Being the same category you'd be led to think all of the items inside have the same cost progression >_>

Byrth! Less vidohuniring, more WStiering! Get to work! /whip
But seriously, we don't need to tell you that the contribute from people like you is especially valuable, 'cause you know it already don't you?

[Byrthnoth]

I have to go to work >:/ be back in a billion hours.

[Sechs]

Why you think it's a good tradition to take the day off work during a patch day, yo?!
(I couldn't take the day off either )

[Rhonda the Sly]

I created an OAT/Emnity-10 Tamaxchi for testing. Below is parser data from killing 3 Mandragora outside of town with nothing but regular mage armor as WHM/SCH.

The first three melee attacks were down w/ Owleyes because I'm a retard.

Player               # Melee Attacks    # Melee Rounds    Attacks/Round    # Extra Attacks
Chaulefree                       184               129                1                 55

Player               # +1 Rounds   # +2 Rounds   # +3 Rounds   # +4 Rounds    # >+4 Rounds
Chaulefree                    55             0             0             0               0

Treat As:

Multi-attacks per attack (2x/3x):

Player               # Double Attacks    DA Rate    Perc. DA     # Triple Attacks    TA Rate    Perc. TA
Chaulefree                         55    42.97 %    100.00 %                    0     0.00 %      0.00 %

[Toth]

I can confirm that Dunna has +5 geomancy on it as well. Such a wonderful stealth buff for Geo!

[Warusha]

to continue this:
1 > 3 > 5 > 7 > 9 > 12 > 15 > 18 > 21

We know there are 15 levels, so I will be unsurprised to find that it scales all the way up to 45 merit points <_<

Also:

The last merit point upgrade would be forever unobtainable at 45 merits
Also why am I wasting merits on this when I could just unlock everything else quicker?

[Lyramion]

DRK 11 bonus for justice, 900 attack -> 1353.
11 320/1024 + 96/1024 job bonus + 96/1024 ring bonus.
516/1024 or 50.3% bonus attack.

if it is 32/+1roll, and both rings stack we'll be looking at 672/1024 or 65.6% bonus attack with an 11 and job bonus.
Someone with both rings go test it!

Thanks for all the tests, I have a request tho:

Can you test Gallant's Roll? It's one of my favourite "basically OP as shit but noone uses it" toys.

Almost naked COR with +5 Ring Def goes from 194>262 on XI

[Damane]

More testing with the bell (Note: the Oboro bell got the Geomancy+5 added to it as well, you don't actually need to get the WKR bell if you have a Dunna)

Fury: ~19.5% boost
Precision: +61 accuracy
+Stat: +33 stat

what aboud geo-frailty/indi-frailty?

[Alistrianna]

Havent played in about a month now. Did they really remove the alpha part on WS or just buff the mods?

[Scrynth]

Did they not impose the salvage restriction? I don't see it in the notes anywhere unless I missed it.

[Viar]

mandragora outside adoulin
Kaiten does around 7k dmg with berserk up.
Fudo does around 7k dmg with berserk up at 1000 TP.
Fudo did 13k w/o berserk at 3000 TP

Mandragora outside of adoulin, Leaden salute + DP did 17k with 3000 TP and No.11 wizard /+3 ring, no darksday bonus, no food, no AGI boost, no staff.

[Sechs]

Both.
Removed Alpha and done specific adjustments (the full extent of which is still unknown) to almost every WS.
Can read the full details of what we know here.
Can provide data and participate in ongoing discussion here.

[Krispy]

Maximum Merit Points have been 1 > 3 > 5 > 7 > 9 > 12 > 15 > 18 so far.

39 Merits for Lv15.

[fantasticdan]

Uhhh?

Spoiler: show

[Maurauc]

Uhhh?

Spoiler: show

The double/extra crest campaign going on at the moment. You can get up to x per mob (every five minutes), where x is the number of people in the party that kills it, I believe.

[fantasticdan]

Oh I thought that ended at the same time as the job point thing, nevermind me.

[Hitou]

One more week of that and the double skirmish parts campaign. (wish CAP one was still going)

[Sechs]

The last merit point upgrade would be forever unobtainable at 45 merits

Last merit upgrade (the 15th) requires 39 merit points.
