Knuckles 904 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi and Welcome REDEYE The more map explored the more 'chance to find valuables' percent you will have. If I remember correctly my SW with 140% map explored had 35.4% base chance to find valuables. Link to comment
REDEYE 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 other than the trophy is there any bonus to uncovering the FoW map%? no rumors please Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 other than the trophy is there any bonus to uncovering the FoW map%? no rumors please Well, I know that your chance to find valuables goes up the more map you uncover. Other than that idk Link to comment
Jrmoore2 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 REDEYE, You Already Asked This In Another Post. I Know Im Not A Moderator, But Please Dont Double Post. And Your CtFV Goes Up, As You Uncover The Map. -Jamie. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,071 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Your two topics regarding same query merged, REDEYE Welcome to DarkMatters! gogo Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Here's the math behind it For every 1% of map uncovered you get a 0.25% increase on chance to find valuables Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Here's the math behind it For every 1% of map uncovered you get a 0.25% increase on chance to find valuables Ah, thank you Knuckles, I had been searching for those numbers for awhile Link to comment
CaptCrunchPants 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 This is good to know. I shall be searching the map out now. Link to comment
stubbie 21 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ummm,,,,what is actually classed as a "valuable"? Link to comment
Barristan 14 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Heya, good question Stubbie I would say unique/set but maybe even yellow too..... Then again, anything you can't use isn't really valuable, now is it? greetz Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Valuable means any non-white or grey item excerpt from llama's post about EP assuming an item drops, a random number is then calculated & what it is determins what quality of item drops (as an example, picking numbers of my ####): for a random number generated between 0 & 1,000, if you roll 990 - 1,000, you'd get a unique item, if you roll 960 - 989 you'd get a set, 920 - 959 & you'd get a rare, 860 - 919 & you'd get a magic item, 0-859 & you get a junk item (each "bin" getting smaller as you go up the item quality scale). MF increases the size of the unique/set/rare/magic "bins" at the expense of the junk bin. If the chance to drop a junk item reached 0, the magic item bin would be reduced, etc. Link to comment

Scrappy McSlap 6 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 How the crap did llama find that out?! You folks are seriously dedicated to this game... boggles the mind! I love it! Thanks for the info. Link to comment
Onemoredvine 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hello Knuckles, I am wondering how you explore MORE than 100% of the MAP: "If I remember correctly my SW with 140% map explored had 35.4% base chance to find valuables. " Regardless, thanks for the informative equation. Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Basically want you want to do is equip as much 'visibility +xx%' mods as you can find. The higher the visibility, the further out the fog will be uncovered. This is helpful along region borders and in caves. Link to comment
Dr Beaver 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) Hello Knuckles, I am wondering how you explore MORE than 100% of the MAP: "If I remember correctly my SW with 140% map explored had 35.4% base chance to find valuables. " Regardless, thanks for the informative equation. I think if your whole map would be uncovered you would have explored 100% map. but there are two more cave levels under the surface so you can get more then 100% Edited July 16, 2009 by Dr Beaver Link to comment
Onemoredvine 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 "Ah I see", says the blind man Put into the context of exploring the 'surface' of the map then this does indeed make sense although I would prefer to know how much is "missing" from my explorations. I have 'explored' just over 35% of the map and here was I thinking that I had 'only another 65% to go'. Time for additional exploring......... Thanks for the quick replies. Link to comment
