I'll bet it is the "buff" you get...

It's also my understanding that the 100% mark was changed based on the "best ever" spawn of a resource rather than 1000pts.

So, if you have a previous 900 stat on the resource, it's bumped by 2% to now = 918.

Say you found a new resource that beats that one by 4 pts, and it's the best ever 904! Now pretend on say Ahazi, has the best ever stat for that resource at 910. Well, both of your 900 and 904 with the buff cap over 910. So, there is no difference, both of yours with buff surpass 910 and cap out there.

That's my theory on it at least.

That would explain a few things but I'm pretty sure it calculates it based on the relative stat cap. The only way to test this out is to have WS from each server post their 'best' ABPH and see if they all come out the same even though there is a difference in the stats vs relative caps.

If that was the case then there would be no room for improvement at all. Which is not the case (we just had a spawn of the best ever durralloy for Rfle Barrels on my server and my barrels went from 8 sac to 9 sac.)

Problem is with the subcomponents that the range is very small so you need to improve a lot on your resources for the components to actually change. I find it a bit strange that the OP didnt see any improvement on speed though as it should have been at least 0.01. Have yo utried a couple of times more just to test?

That being said the Resource buff has taken some of the enjoyment out of our profession (some weapons are very easy to cap now, PHs comes to mind).
