IRC question

No, I havn't yet looked at that stuff, sorry. --Rick 20:59, 8 December 2007 (EST)

Ok, I did it

Metal ID

You probably already know this, but I just noticed on your user page about metal IDs, just to let you know, this isn't a static list and is built from raws data, this list probably works for a default install, it'd be better to read out the metal data from memory (these 'Metal ID' are actually indexes into this list). --Rick 19:10, 13 December 2007 (EST)

Yup, it's either in the order of the metalgloss thing file, or you can read it into memory. I started writing the list until i realized how to do it.

Item quality question

Hi, in the Item quality article it says:

>First, a skill level is computed, apparently directly related to the dabbling...legendary indicators. No skill or dabbling is 0, legendary is 15. It's capped at 20.

Let's say I had a Legendary+5 armorsmith with a preference for Steel. If I order him to make steel plate, will his effective skill be 20 or 21?

We don't know the answer, as we have not had Holy Writ handed down from On High. When I reverse-engineered the item quality calculations, there were some inputs that I could not determine the source of. It is quite possible that the maker's preferences play a role, but that is not known with certainty.
Despite this, I strongly suspect that the skill cap is applied after all modifiers have been summed. So I think the answer is 20.

Item quality question II

In this edit, you changed the wording of the formula. Does that mean that, if the first roll fails, the other rolls do not occur? --Savok 12:20, 8 March 2009 (EDT)

Item quality question III (IQQ III)

  • If d5 < skill level, quality is bumped.
  • If d10 < skill level, quality is bumped.
  • If d15 < skill level, quality is bumped.
  • If d20 < skill level, quality is bumped.
  • If d25 < skill level and d3 == 1, quality is set to 5.

The result of a d5 roll is an integer 1-5 randomly picked, right? --Savok 20:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
