Heighten Frustration

[Glarundis]

we don't.
let me put it int terms of alchemy

if you have like 60% chance to make a potion at 110/110, with a bit more than 115 (heighten + EB) you go up some % points. but not that much, really

All calculations are linear, so basically 5% is just 5%. Minds are not blown.

If they are linear then 5% definitely is not just 5%. Slope is not excatly 1 at least for certain skills. Or are you telling me you have a 85% success rate for 8 circle spells with GM Magery, since the success rate for 8 circle spells is 100% with 115 Magery.

It's linear, each 5% increases by the same amount, but that 5% can be actually 20% success rate.

[Cirius Do'Brim]

Yeap, generally referring to the curves (that were discussed in another thread).

Linear, as in the picture above. It's the same all the way, there's no huge increase every 1.0% (in the end) as people seem to assume. Otherwise if the skill req. is x and your skill is the same, the chance for success is 50/50. Everything above that just increases the chances 60/40, 70/30, etc.

Or are you telling me you have a 85% success rate for 8 circle spells with GM Magery, since the success rate for 8 circle spells is 100% with 115 Magery.

If I remember correctly, the skill req. for 8th circle is actually closer to 100 than 80, so no.

This is good info thanks. Guess I don't have to be so butthurt about having to get 100 resist and heighten for now =P.

21 foci burned and no gain yet.... fu***ng med....

[yuusou]

So, based on that graphic, 105 (and consequently 115) in the quadratic graph is WAY better than the linear? Or does it change after 100?

33 empy focus burned without gain........
