Thread: predicting pet stats from DNA
I've been looking at how pet stats are derived from the template DNA, many people have been noticing that some stats have a close correllation between DNA and clone stats, whereas some, such as health, seem to involve more than one stat from the DNA. So I fired up my trusty spread sheet of my cloning results so far and did some fiddling about and some regression on the data. I was able to determine the following formulae:
Health = ( 6.62 * Hardiness ) + ( 1.32 * Dexterity ) + 50
Regen = ( Endurance / 14 ) + ( Dependability / 70 )
Armour = Fortitude * 6
To Hit = ( 0.205 * Cleverness ) + 4
Defence = ( 0.17 * Dexterity ) + ( 0.035 * Intellect ) + 4
State Resist = ( Hardiness / 60 ) + ( Intellect / 12 )
Critical Hit = Fierceness / 125
Critical Save = Dependability / 125
Aggro Bonus = Courage / 40
Damage Min = ( 0.204 * Power ) - 14.5
Damage Max = ( 0.603 * Power ) + 60
So far they seem to be fairly accurate and fit the actual clone stats very closely, the only exception being damage which I am not at all sure about as it can be out by as much as 3% but this is the closest I can get with my data. Also damage seems to have a fixed minimum such that it can never be lower than 17-128, which may be affecting the results.
Finally for a rough (very rough) formula for CL:
CL = ( Hardiness / 70 ) + ( Fortitude / 70 ) + (Dexterity / 56 ) + ( Cleverness / 135 ) + ( Dependability / 400 ) + ( Power * 3 / 40 ) - 17
note: this doesn't work well for low level pets < CL 10
Hope someone finds it useful.
Not counting CL .. in *most* cases your formulas were very close, if not right on! I had a couple of odd results, but that may have been a result of my recordkeeping (I'm trying to get it organized .. really).
Max damage seems to be closer to the mark than min damage .. but that may be a result of the minimum damage limits that we're seeing.
Most of the clones I made were under CL 10 .. so the CL calculations were WAY off as you predicted, but they weren't that close for the >CL 10 clones either =/
You can see my clone's stats and what your calculations said they should be in this graphic:

Pretty good work!
The health thing I've been fiddling with and seems there might be a 3rd even more minor weighting. I concur on the 6.62 on
hardiness, but not sure on the exact number fordex yet. It'ssomething between1and 2. And trying to figure out what the
3rd might be....
