Armorsmith Archive

I have been at this awhile now and never really explored the calculations given in these forums and frankly am kinda lazy now as I ask this question, so bear with me.

I have great resources and in all the time I have been at this cannot recall getting over 40% on a comp segments INITIAL (before experimentation)base quality. Is it capped at 40% or am I just shy of getting over that due to my resources? Anybody know?

And a follow up to that. If there is a cap is it different on different armor segments?

thanks all

Copy paste trick from a diff post of mine :

The initial and maximum Experimental Percentage (EP) depend on the resource stats, resource amounts and the applicable stat percentages for the item youre making.
These values make up the Weighted Resource Value (WRV) and determine the initial and maximum EP this way :

Initial EP = 0.00000015 x WRV^2 + 0.00015 x WRV
Maximum EP = 0.001 x WRV

Example:
50 x Resource A with CD=500 and OQ=800
20 x Resource B with OQ=700 (No CD on this resource)
30 x Resource C with CD=700 and OQ=600

For the item stat: 40%CD / 60%OQ

The CD contribution to the WRV is:
0.40 x [(50x500) + (30x700)] / [(50+30)] = 230 (NOTE : Resource B doesn’t contribute because it has no CD)

The OQ contribution to the WRV is:
0.60 x [(50x800) + (20x700) + (30x600)] / [(50+20+30)] = 432

WRV = 230 + 432 = 662

Initial EP = 0.00000015 x 662^2 + 0.00015 x 662 = 16.50366% (SWG will display 16%)
Maximum EP = 0.001 x 662 = 66.20000%

In short : the maximum initial experimental percentage is 30%

Thanks Beldaran. Your gonna make me work for the answer aren't you. Oh, ok, I'm at work anyways. lol

You used CD but thebase for AS uses SR and OQ at 50% each so I will work it out from there.
