As for updating the wiki, that would assume I know the correct calculation. I don't. I just know that what's on there presently looks to be wrong.
People often say this sort of thing about the wiki, but you don't have to know what's right to say that something's wrong. For instance, I added the following to the Tradeskills page based on this thread:

Quote:
NOTE: This formula is suspect, and may not be correct for Project 1999. See [1].
Now of course, it'd be even better if someone could delete that and the incorrect formula, and put in a correct one, but my point is that even if all you do is add a "this seems wrong" note, you're still moving the wiki in the right direction.
