You all know the mighty miracle called skill bar. There are a lot of rumours
spread around, but nothing clear was said about it yet. I tried to investigate
it a bit, but don?t expect anything you might have wished before.
First
off, you can?t calculate the amount of exp you make. I show you why.
It is
easier to explain it, if you take the factor "skill exp items" and
"time".
The skillbar itself could work in two ways:
1. There is an amount of exp you have to gain for each skill up in
total that is increasing per rank and every hit does the same skill
exp.
2. There is an amount of exp you have to
gain for each skill up that is fixed every rank, but you do less exp every rank
you gain.
For myself and also for the developers the first way would be the easiest to calculate and makes more
sense. You will also see later why it does so.
So what you can find
out?
Only the skill exp you do in a certain time frame that is show
graphically.
For example we have a full exp set with an amount of 30+ exp
per skill in total. Also you need like 4 hits with skill to get 1% on the skill
bar. Yes, every grwoth you notice on the bar itself is 1%. There aren?t 0.5
amounts in this game, you can experience it on the defense buff skills, where
you get every 2 levels the 0.5 amount from the last skill up.
So the
formula must be (thats an example):
X (X stands
for 4 hits per skill exp) + 120 (4 hits with skill exp set per 30 skill exp) =
1%
You need for 100% 12k skill exp from the set + the amount
you make with your hit by skills.
If you go up by rank, you need more
hits to go for 1%, thats why the total amount of skill exp needed for every
skill up must be higher than the last rank had.
At lower levels you
experience you can skill up faster, not because you need less skill points to
archieve to rank up, its because you need less skill exp in total to reach the
skill up.
In conclusion you can calculate the time you need for a
skill up, what is enough for a normal player. If you would know how much you
need, you would only see that the skill exp items do a huge difference in later
levels, cause its an instant amount you get for every hit per skill. There is
also a relation between higher skills from higher ranks and their own lvl
increasement. If the skill itself is worth more and has a higher rank it gives
you more skill exp.
I hope my experience i share with this clears some
points out, feedback from you every time desired | |
