Figured I'd ask one more time, then I'll give up. Anyone happen to know if the formula post at
the EQ Traders boards from 2004 from Live is the formula used here?
Also, shameless plug for something almost completely useless. I made my php script that does a bunch of randoms and calculations to give you a sample set of possibilities while raising your tradeskills. You input what trade, what your stat and skill scores are, and a set of trivials you'll use to level up with. In return it'll spit out a randomized outcome, including how many combines it takes, how many successful combines that includes, and the like.
Its in my sig, but I might as well post it here too:
eq.e42randy.com/test.php. Its running off the formula above, so again, if you know of a different formula, please respond!
(Useless program? Yes. But at least its slightly more useful than
the last thing I wrote.)
