Dalayan Beginner
Dust Dancer Boots

AC:7
Dmg Reduction: +2%
Mind Shield: +2%

Levels: 17
Growth Rate: +160% (from /cmd itemexpreport)

==========================================

Is there a problem with this item? Right now it's level 8 and has an AC of 18. Which is awesome, especially since, at the current growth rate, I calculated that at level 17 it will have an AC of 31.

I wonder if this is correct/intended?

Incorrect because this increase is actually 120%, not 160% as reported with /cmd itemexpreport.
A 120% growth would be 1.4 AC per level > max AC 31
A 160% growth would be 4.2 AC per level > max AC 78

I don't think 160% is correct, or what is actually being calculated, but I don't have an advanced maths degree. Could someone take another look at this?


*also, this came about because I was trying to update the wiki. If I put in the correct number of levels and the growth rate shown in the client, the wiki calculates the max AC at 197.
 
Also, the Lotus Stem Ring:

AC: 3
HP: +30

Levels: 25
Growth Rate: +36%

===================================
Currently at level 9 with 4AC & +40 hps

Which is actually a 3.6% increase.... hmm
 
30hp to 40hp is a 33% increase. 3ac to 4ac is a 33% increase. You are mentally inserting the word 'Rate' where it does not exist; the 'Growth" figure represents total growth of the item so far.

Here is an example from my own real life.. I don't have either of these items, but my Cincture of Urticating Hair has these base stats:

AC: 6. DEX/AGI: 4. HP: 15.

When I do /cm itemexpreport, I see:

Cincture of Urticating Hair is currently level 13 out of 18 with 15057 out of 158410 experience toward its next level. Growth: +130%.

What does this mean? Since it is level 13, and the TOTAL GROWTH TO THIS POINT is 130%, it plainly gains 10% stats per level. Let's math it out:

AC - 6 * 1.30 = 7.8
DEX/AGI - 4 * 1.30 = 5.2
HP - 15 * 1.30 = 19.5

So we expect AC to be 6 + 7.8 = 13.8
We expect DEX/AGI to be 4 + 5.2 = 9.2
We expect HP to be 15 + 19.5 = 34.5

Actual stats are -- AC: 13, DEX/AGI: 9, HP: 34. As predicted! That is how item growth works!
 
Ahh, yes, I did not notice that the Growth increases each level.

I think my confusion was compounded by the way the wiki lists the growth rate and the client shows the total growth thus far.

Thanks!
 
The wiki shows the amount of growth each level, as well as the total levels. The amount per level. The wiki shows stats in red for an item at max levels, using the growth rate (the growth per level) to show total growth for an item.

... the growth rate (growth per level) for Lotus Stem Ring is 3.6%? Based on the level/stats you're giving, that looks right. But we don't have it recorded on the wiki. I'm adding it with 3.6% for now I guess and hoping it is right!
