Break Rates

[Chrius]

Silly question:
Has anybody done more research on break rates? I hope this doesn't get redirected to the stupid questions thread...

Real question: << Edit: Dumb question - Look at it if ya like
[spoiler:3m70migc]Is there an approximate cap on break rate?
Under the approximation of ~10% per enhanced level below cap - being 10 under cap gives .05 + 1 leaving a 105% break rate.[/spoiler:3m70migc]

More Edit:
Answer to real/dumb question: (You can read that with or without the / if you like)

New question - why isn't this in the stupid questions post as preliminary research?

Ok - that does not answer the question. Say I am 15 levels below the cap does that mean I am at a 155% chance to break the synth? I don't think so... Nothing in that post says there is a 95% cap on break rate or whatever and I would just like to hear some people's feelings on this.

This is from a thread called Break Rates.

How did that not come up in the search lol.

Because it's never come up since the stupid questions thread was made, and putting break rates into a search of this section brings up only 2 pages of results? Christ, most of the second page is the thread that I linked to you.

I appreciate the link to your Break Rates thread, but I still say I had a valid question when your post was answered in late 2007 and the info was not reliable enough (although good estimates) to make it into the break rate section of the stupid questions thread from a couple months ago.

It says "needs more data" on the sticky thread because as far as I know, nobody's supplied any better data than the original "break rates" thread.

Exploring break rates is both expensive and tricky, because every time you fail to break under cap you have a chance to skillup. And not many people care about break rates under cap, tbqh.

Thanks Aurik,

The whole reason I went after this is that I really wanted break information to put into a formula for my skill up excel formulas but decided there are too many factors ( trying to 100% break with a subcraft underleveled, etc) to use a formula and it was just as easy to have somebody type what they think their break rate should be.
