Basilers with epic Math Skills How is Potential calculated
I have 918 in my LUK stat, and no item is adding potential in LUK.
I equip my 6%LUK earrings (which are 2 lines of 3) and my LUK jumps to 972.
If I do the math 918*1.06 = 973.xx so it's obviously that's not how potential is calculated, because I'm missing 1 LUK.
I tried rounding down each line, 918*1.03 = 27.5x, so that's 54 for both lines + 918 = 972. Correct.
Then I equip my 6%LUK shoes (which are 3 lines of 2) and my LUK jumps to 1027.
Since we know that calculating the full potential won't work (918*1.12 = 1028.xx) we do it by lines rounding down, but what happens?
Yeah, we get 1026 total. Because 918*2% = 18.36 rounding down it is 18 and 18*3 lines is 54. 54 is the number added for both potentials so we get 108+918 = 1026.
Dear basilers, what is the reasoning behind this?
Edit: Both my earring and shoes are clean, so no LUK coming from there.

[quote=ChopSuey]Starting from your base stats
Step 1: Multiply by Maple Warrior. (E.g. MW 30 is 1.15). Round down into a unit (E.g. 1053.76 = 1053)
Step 2: Add all your stats from your equipment, skills, card deck, etc (no inner ability, familiars) ... then add into step 1
Step 3: Add all your potential equipment that gives % stats. For example if you have only 9% LUK earring, 15% LUK cape and 3% top, then that adds to 27% LUK. Multiply into step 1 (E.g. 27% LUK = 1.27). Don't forget to round down.
Step 4: Finally, add remaining stats from Inner ability and familiars.[/quote]
Actually I believe this guy's got the answer.
My Inner ability adds 8 LUK. If we forget that, 910*1.12 = 1019.2 roundwd down 1019. +8 = 1027.
When I equip everything I get 994 not counting Inner ability. and 24% LUK (adding from 20% LUK + 4% ALL).
994*1.24 = 1232.56 rounded down 1232. +8 from Inner = 1240. Exactly what is shown in my stats window.

[quote=askmiller]ok i think i have an idea. This is very stupid, but maybe the number is first cut to 1 decimal remaining for each line before they are added, then cut to an integer?
so 918*.02 = 18.3
18.3 * 3 = 54.9, which turns to 54.
918*.03 = 27.5
27.5 * 2 = 55.
54 + 55 = 109
109 + 918 = 1027[/quote]
Yeah I'm coming up with strange ideas like this to make it work, let me equip the rest of my %luk, if it works it should give me exact numbers again. brb testing.
Edit: Didn't work.
I have 944 total before potential, and I have 5 items (1: 3+3, 2: 2+2+2, 3: 3, 4: 3, 5: 2)
Doing the math I'd get 1: +56, 2: +56, 3: +28, 4: +28 and 5: +18.
For a total of 1130. My stat window shows 1131.
918 x 0,06 = 55,08
Since you get 972 LUK by wearing earrings
972 + 55,08 = 1027
[quote=sleepyheadXIII]@SilverStrato: Whats your base luk?(take of all your equipment)
how much luk do you get from equips? (think link skills is added in this part and same for the stat boost skill in 2nd job, not 100% sure)
and have maple warrior on?[/quote]
I told you my base luk is 813, and I'm getting 105 from equips + skills (thief traning, will of alliance, I don't got any link skill active besides Lumi and DS which don't affect stats) and no MW.
Edit: counting the boost from the deck cards and inner ability too.

[quote=sleepyheadXIII]The %stat is the last thing added.
It takes effect after add your base+maple warrior+ straight up stats from equips. After have all of that, then it adds the %.[/quote]
I know, my total luk after all equips, base and everything is 918. I'm calculating the Pot% lastly.

[quote=askmiller]it's really not too complicated.
Each line is calculated separately.
if i'm not mistaken, code is something along the lines of this:
(int)(base * percent)
This means that that only the integer part of the value you get is kept, the decimals are cut off.
This is done for each line separately.
so for the 3 lines of 2% you get
(918 * .02) = 18
you have 3 lines of that so 18 * 3 = 54.
then you have the 6%
(918 * .06) = 55.
The total increase is 55 + 54 = 109.
Then you just add that to the base to get 918 + 109 = 1027.[/quote]
I would agree with you but I don't have any 6%. I have an earring with 3%+3% and the shoes with 2%+2%+2%.
By that logic, we would get
918 * .02 = 18 * 3 = 54
918 * .03 = 27 * 2 = 54
918+54+54=1026
Base stats on equips also affect your your potential %. For instance, I equip a racoon mask with 6 str and my str was at 2100 including pot. My str went from 2100 to 2120.
[quote=cameron0]Oh Jeez. This is a bit messy. I would double check some equips. Maybe you have a sneaky 1% all stat or something. Up until this point, I thought it was based off Base Stat. [/quote]
I cleared everything, I dont have any potential on at this moment.
[quote=SilverStrato]I don't think it is based in base Luk, that only works for Maple Warrior. 918 is the total of my base + my equips. My base would be 813 at this moment, and adding 105 from equips.
813 * 1.12 = 910.56 + 105 = 1015.56. That is a greater difference than what we have at the moment.[/quote]
its base luck, a known thing, no argument to it

[quote=cameron0]It is based off your Base Luk, I believe. Can you confirm that 918 is your Base Luk?[/quote]
