quality of metal goods or formula of smithing

Post by eewww »

In wikia:
"You cannot craft items of a higher quality rating using smithing recipes higher than your skill value (sqrt(Strength*Smithing))."

I have STR 133 and smithing 25 and bronze of quality 42. I tried to craft some metal stuff, like hard metal cutlery and it for some reason have quality 29... Okay, i have skill less than quality of material so let it be (42+25)\2=33.5 but NOT a 29. Please explain me how this all s..tuff is calculated. Thanks.

that's for tools, weapons, armor, etc. symbel items, as a "high level craft" also use psy as a factor, not sure if it's psy instead of str or the cube root of (smithing * psy * str)

if the strength does it, then thats interesting since thats realism for you
W3 - Apolion, Terricieil (old & new), Westedge & Saltmummys other place.
W4 - Quahog
W5 - Yggdrasil (now gone) - New Yggdrasil.

the quality of your smithing tools, like anvil or hammer, probably counts too

Really? I can craft wooden stuff from symbel without any caps and PSY.. and you talking about jewelry.

SO, what about formula? I want to write down my STR, skill, quality of material and see "29" as a result.

iirc you don't use those to make symbel items

what q wooden items? how high is your carpentry? no, i am not talking about jewelry, i'm talking about symbel items. i'm guessing you have 11 or 12 psy? (42 + sqrt(25 * 11)) / 2 = 29

where did you get that formula ? ^_^ looks like it match... So all symbel items also need PSY? And here is another question then - i got 29 carpentry and 10 PSY but wooden items all of quality 10 :P

btw How used quality of anvil and smiths hammer to calculate quality of weapon\armor\etc?

that's the standard softcap forumula, not that it is only used when the square root of (skill * stat) or the rarer cube root of (skill * stat * stat) is lower than the quality of the material you are processing. example: if you use q10 wood with your carpentry and psy, the output will be q10.

i don't recall the exact formula for crafting things with tools, but it's on the wiki

Crafting with tools .. average of mats with the tool with the mats double weighted iirc
