anyone still around that works with figuring out formulas?(I usually go to Apoc with stuff like this :cry: ) been playing as a noob so I don't get my main killed while using a crappy pc and I ran across a problem with the board formula...

q27 saw and q10 log should give q16 boards(16.431...) I got q15 boards with carpentry at 17 so it wasn't softcapped...atleast not by carpentry

any chance dex has a role in board quality also? my dex is 14 and if its sqrt(dex*carp) it would softcap me to 15, and I know sqrt(dex*sewing) works on alot of things in cloth making so it seems reasonable that it could work here...thats my random thought on this but more testing should be done and I'm not in a position to do it right now

Almost every crafting formula involves a Stat and a Skill in combination with the material and tool qualities, so this makes sense.

It shouldn't, I've had carpentry alts with no other stats not softcapping boards.

think it could be just a random incident? or maybe a new update that Jorb/Loftar snuck in? like I said it needs more testing all I have right now are the q15 boards from a q27 saw and I know that doesn't add up with standard formula since sqrt(27 * 10) = 16.431... that truncates to 16, and my noob's carpentry is at 17. since you have carpentry alts would you mind going over it a bit for testing? :mrgreen:

No you're not dude don't lie.


Anyways, Carp and saw ql are the only thing softcapping board ql iirc.

not quite sure what you're going on about, but if it were just carpentry(saw quality improves the board doesn't add a softcap) then I would have gotten a q16 board, not a q15...if you'd like to test this a few times with an alt or 2(low dex high carp/low carp high dex) just to check I'd be interested in your findings, but don't make random dumb ass posts.

I tested cutting some logs with four wildly different q saws with a low carp, high dex character and for three of them, the boards turned out exactly 1q lower than they should have been according to the formula. If dex was involved, they would have been higher.

And while this is of course by far not a comprehensive test, I think it's most likely what we're seeing here is a case of strange server rounding errors, which aren't exactly unheard of, and that the formula is fine and correct.

going to have to take that as the official answer since I'm actually getting q16 boards now(same saw and stats lol), and maybe this wasn't quite a 'simple question' thread thing, but it seemed like it before I posted...

thanks to those who tested :)

I was told that a bear will NOT run away from you once raged, is this true?

If it can't path to you and you're doing too much damage per hit (more than ~60 damage per hit) then it will still run away.
