Needs a sticky!

We will when Sevenless says he's done. We're not rushing him so he can get it right.

Lol "done", you know that's never going to happen. There'll always be something I want to write that isn't included yet.

Apologies on the combat system taking so long. I feel it's much more crucial for every player to do combat in this version of haven, and it's not my forte. I've been practicing pretty hard the last 4 days and I think I've got a proper grasp on it now. At least enough to get people going.

I'm gonna be good and write that section today.

And on that note, Beginner Fu shall be taught in the newly updated "Blood in the Water" section

As for stickying: If/when the mods feel it's complete enough to deserve one, give me a heads up and I'll make a new topic with fancy navigation bar stuff for it.

Hup. Hunting/Healing added.

Great combat system tutorial.

I was wondering why I keep getting pwned fighting ant while having 18 UA, turns out my deck seems to spawn attack cards most of the time.

Thanks for the tutorial. Sticky!

Glad it helped! You should be able to take ants on easily with 10ua and a bit of movement for sure with the right deck.

Metal and mining done.

Hey sevenless, I see you are planning to add qualities soon, so I'll compile what info I have to help.

General quality formula is the same as before: Value = BaseValue * SqRoot ( Quality/10)
When the item uses the average of the three qualities, the formula is: Value = BaseValue * FourthRoot ( (Essence^2 + Substance^2 + Vitality^2)/300)

On food, each quality changes a different aspect with a slight change on the formula, as two of these effects are reductions, and not increases, they go as follow:
FEP increases with the old quality formula, just using Vitality as the quality: FEP = FEPb * SqRoot ( Vit/10)
Hunger and the Satiation effect (thought not the chance of it occurring) are reduced by Substance and Essence, respectively, using the following formula: Value = BaseValue / SqRoot ( Q/10)

On Armor, each quality also affects an aspect of it. Absorption and Deflection uses the general quality formula, and Wear uses a simple linear formula:
Wear = BaseWear * (Vit/10)
Absorption (Substance) and Deflection (Essence) go with: Value = BaseValue / SqRoot ( Q/10). To be completely honest I wasnt unable to confirm the Deflection formula yet, but it's not hard to do so.

I remember you saying that Weapons probably have different effects for each quality too, I'll try to experiment with it when I get access to better quality materials.

Good job on the guide so far!

Sweet thanks for the numbers!

I'm 100% confident that weapons get their damage bonus from substance. And I'm something like 95% confident mining power is also substance based.

No clue what Ess and Vit do, although I suspect for bows those values might be important.

holy that's a long post, nicely done
