Please tell me if this math seems sound. I posted this in another thread, but I doubt many people will see it, and wanted to make sure I got everything down right.

1. Requires 10 units of Polymer
2. Requires 5 units of Diatium Copper
3. Requires 5 units of Ostrine Carbonate Ore
4. Requires 8 units of Phrik Aluminum
5. Requires 16 units of Irolunn Reactive Gas

44 resources. Only 13 units have Conductivity.

Now, it's 66 / 33 (CO / OQ), and because 44 units have OQ, and only 13 units have CO, then the CO is worth a LOT more.

for the Diatum Copper, that 5 units count for 38% of the Conductivity. So, those 5 units count for 25% of the "total quality" of the weapon.

Here's how it breaks down:

1 unit of anything is worth 0.75% of the total result

OQ
Polymer : 10 / 44 : 7.5% of total PH Quality
Copper : 5 / 44 : 3.75% of total PH Quality
Ore : 5 / 44 : 3.75% of total PH Quality
Aluminum : 8 / 44 : 6% of total PH Quality
Gas : 16 / 44 : 12% of total PH Quality

1 unit of anything in the PH with CO is worth 5.07% of the total result

CO
Copper : 5 / 13 : 25.38% of total PH Quality
Aluminum : 8 / 13 : 40.62% of total PH Quality

(Due to rounding the total comes out to 99%)

So, now we'll go with how much 1 point of OQ is worth versus 1 point of CO on the copper, and the alum

Copper : 25.38% for CO : 1000 CO == perfect : 0.02538% increase per point of CO
Aluminum : 40.62% for CO : 1000 CO == perfect : 0.04062% increase per point of CO

and, for OQ
Polymer : 7.5% for OQ : 1000 OQ == perfect : 0.0075% increase per point of OQ
Copper : 3.75% for OQ : 1000 OQ == perfect : 0.00375% increase per point of OQ
Ore : 3.75% for OQ : 1000 OQ == perfect : 0.00375% increase per point of OQ
Aluminum : 6% for OQ : 1000 OQ == perfect : 0.006% increase per point of OQ
Gas : 12% for OQ : 1000 OQ == perfect : 0.012% increase per point of OQ

now, we'll take the two resources listed:

Asevate CD 713 OQ 866
Iesewi CD 768 OQ 753

Asevate: + 18.09594% for CO, + 3.2475% for OQ
Iesewi: + 19.49184 for CO, +2.82375 for OQ

Asevate : 21% increase
Iesewi : 22% increase

KABLAM, the Iesewi will increase you by 1%, which has a chance to round you up 1 point on damage!

ok the math is correct. I agree with it there for sure. Try Kidiaan Phrik Aluminum instead of the Durenciate Phrik.

im sure SOE knows the formulas exactly, but like Everquest they dont like to let too much out.

interesting / I'd never really bothered to work that out

so lets see for ABRB
66% CD 33% SR
85 units have conductivity
93 units units in total so:

((0.66 * 85 / ((0.66 * 85) + (0.33 * 93)) * 100 = 68.36%

so 68.4% conductivity
and 31.6% Shock resist

assuming my math is correct
not vastly off the quoted 66% but interesting ot have the true values

oops ok completely ignore the equasion I just wrote its totally wrong

thats not how I did it : I think the values I wrote are correct though

While I am reading this I am reminded why I hate math. Excellent job X.

So when comparing the CO/OQ stats on the metals for APHs, a 87/13 weighting is more accurate than a 66/33?

that sounds about right, someone did a lot of spreadsheet calculations a long time ago and figured it was roughly 90/10 con/oq on ABPH

Wow, that's quite impressive... and it seems quite accurate as well.

Nice job.
