OK,

I think this is my final stab at it. I made the wild DNA stats that lamm posted fit onto the curve which means that cleverness is a HUGE factor. I don't know if it is valid. Will need testing but my final weightings are:

hardiness: 10

fortitude: 1

dexterity: 1

intellect:1

cleverness: 25

dep: 1

courage: 1

fierce: 2

power: 25

The curve this produces is here. The yellow dots are data from BE pets, while the blue dots are samples from wild animals. There are two wild dots that do not fit on the curve and they are from elites.

Quick question, I followed everything until now as I was making my own spreadsheets to look into the matter. However, I got a little confused with your final weigh values. Are those percentages? Or are they weighed arbitrarily to some other value?

Heheheh for example

hardiness: 10

I have no point of reference to what i should base this value on any help would be appreciated hehehe

THanks

Here's a few interesting ones to compare:

CL48: 721 104 565 453 83 202 151 138 274 500

CL51: 757 106 565 457 83 201 154 141 275 517

Its no problemo

I've updated the files, they have about 20-25 more entries on it... Gonna go back and try to fill in the mid levels sometimes before the weekend too Also try to work on the min's maxs within the range of 1000. It seems that the 'special'mobs with 1000 stats are actually well over 1000 when it comes to the resulting attributes. Which is why they're throwing my values off when using the DNA. Either that or the 'special' mobs have some hidden attribute in their DNA which makes it harder to clone creatures from them. You can see from some of my 'predicted levels' plevels of the monsters i've made, that using 1000 or more in a stat throws the calculations waaaaaaay off (+/- 10 in most instances)

Final.

I have been using, with some success the foloowing formulas to predict pet level at worst case within +/- 6 levels - usually much closer.

Trying to decide the right amount of hardiness and power in the samples before the combine gets tricky. I usually look at my damage first after maxing the experimentation on it. Then I try to decide if I can add anything else based on my hardiness. I had several 70s in a row, then hit a few 71s, then a few 69s.... Aaaargh!!! Right now it's more of a feeling and if my damage is like 3 points off in power, I almost know it's gonna be 71.

Ok ill ask, for those of us who arent good with higher math or not good with excel, is there a shortened formula that will work or at least what do some of the symbols mean. ok I know what the basic math is but on the second line does the x mean multiply? what is the E for and what does ^ mean. Sorry for sounding a but dumb but give me some pointers and ill figure it out

thanks

Has anyone made a program that calculates these things, or do I need to do it myself? lol

Made a quick and dirty thing in VB so I bet you'll get at least one "missing .dll"-error Dunno what dlls are needed, but you can always try if it works on your computer...
