The wiki shows only max stats, and I can't speak to the equation atm. I did the coding for Pristine and Expable on like, the same day, so its all kinds of mixed up in my head.
I am a little confused and I was wondering if you could help me out.
In the "(Adept) Expable Items" thread Zaela said...
...First, it can be a flat increase, like +1. I.e., if your item had 10 AC and 4 STR at level 0, it will have 11 AC and 5 STR at level 1 if it has a growth modifier of +1...
...The stat modifiers will similarly be linear; if an item receives +1 stats at level 1, it will receive +2 at level 2, +3 at level 3, +4 at level 4, and so on...
Now, My 55 pally Thib has
Greaves of the Ancient and I updated the wiki with the information I received from leveling them from level 0 to level 1. They have the growth rate of +1 and have 5 level in total.
The legs start with 21ac and at level 5 the wiki tells me they will have 26ac. However that is not what Zaela said would happen to a +1 growth rate item, or perhaps I understand what he said wrong.
I understand it this way...
level 0: 21
level 1: 21 + 1 = 22
level 2: 22 + 2 = 24
level 3: 24 + 3 = 27
level 4: 27 + 4 = 31
level 5: 31 + 5 = 36
so at level 5 the legs should have 36ac and not just 26 like the wiki tells me.
If the item only gets +1 more stats from every level I see something rather wrong with this item, or perhaps all of the exp items as a whole.
Currently at level 1 I need 4,777,184 exp to get to level 2. Useing what Zaela said...
...If an item requires 5000 experience to reach level 1 from level 0, it will require 10000 experience to reach level 2 from level 1, 15000 experience to reach level 3 from level 2, and so on...
I do not recall how much exp was needed from level 0 to level 1 however 4,777,184/2=2388592 so...
level 0 to level 1: 2,388,592
level 1 to level 2: 4,777,184
level 2 to level 3: 9,554,368
level 3 to level 4: 19,108,736
level 4 to level 5: 36,217,472
Total: 74,046,352 exp
In the wiki is says "40 million experience points are needed to complete each volume of the codex of power"
So to get these legs to level 5 (max potential) one would need to get enough exp to almost complete 2 full codex of powers. If they only have 26ac at the end of the day, leveling these legs seems rather worthless.
