Oh and do you have andy idea whats up with the FEP calculations and stuff, 'cause the wiki says its the first new food you eat should bring it down 30% of what the total is and on one of my noob characters it brings it down form 13 to 10.7. Yet when I take 30% of it like the wiki says in this equation 13 - (13 * .3) it ='s 9.1 not 10.7? one more reason that refrencing the wiki aint always reliable, though I use it alot.


1. Correct. The damage bonus of tools is listed in the wiki. (I don't remember the exact article off the top of my head, though.) Usually you can just try the command you're looking for, in this case, Destroy. I found three pages with the information you were looking for. It won't always be at the top of the page, though.

2. Don't believe everything on the wiki. The FEP formula is one of the bits of just plain wrong information. All of the HnH formulas are on a square root function. I will say it is a decent approximation, but the percentage gets lesser the more variety you add in, as to be expected of a square root function. The FEP formula is hiding somewhere, but nobody can seem to recall where.

Lastly, avoid the annoying colors. It makes your post hard to read. There are several of us on here that will provide good help if the knowledge seeker isn't being a complete ass. Ignore those that aren't being at least somewhat helpful.

That was explained, by loftar, on the forums, how hard is it to find?

Unless it's incorrect, which Idoubt.

If you mean actual FEP that a food gives, that's old news.

I stand pleasantly corrected, then :)

I'll see about getting that wiki article fixed, then! (Unless someone else beats me to it.)

Ok so is this right basin this off of what I gatherd from that, that your feps are reduced by 2sqrt(max*10) ?

Ok now I got it that is what its reduced by to get the actule total you reduce it by so to get the new get the equation right to get the bar value its "(max - (2Sqrt(max*10)/10))" and the total from that is rounded. so yay and thank ya'll for your help cause I didnt get it at first and was like "huh......? o.O" but now im all good.
