  1. Trying to gain some insight on the precise diminished returning behavior of leveling skills particularly high, I was looking at the skill level to effect size tables recently and tried to discover the formula behind it. You know, stuff like Weapon Lore, where it starts with 12% at level one and the per level increase decreases with level slightly. Many skills share the same values (there is only a few different datasets actually). To my surprise, it's really hard to pinpoint what it actually is, which is made worse by the fact the values are rounded to whole percentage points. A way to approximate it pretty closely was something as ugly as: E(l) = 205.7014 * l^0.990244 - 194.0553 * l Where l is the level of the skill and E(l) is the effect size at level l. It gets pretty close, but doesn't nail it, there sometimes are deviations >1 which means the formula must be false as the deviation can't be explained by rounding alone. Also, these parameters are obviously nasty, so it seems highly unlikely the developers set something like this anyways. As with any approximation, the values given by this formula will probably deviate further and further for level values outside the range from which the data was drawn. So I was wondering if anyone actually knew the proper formula, or is familiar enough with the game code so he could explain how I could find it out from the game data. Or do you think it's possible to mail one of the former devs and ask them, if so, who would be my best shot? Have a nice day!
  2. Hello everyone, hope some people are still active around here. I've registered here at DarkMatters in order to contribute to the SacredWiki. I did everything as stated in the OP, but attempting to log in to Sacred Wiki returns an error, stating there is no user by my name, so the transfer from DarkMatters -> Sacred Wiki domain hasn't happened yet. Do I need to do anything else? When will I be able to contribute to the wiki? Thank you in advance.
