Calculating crafting level question

[zerrith]

I have seen it posted that to calculate the synth level of an item above your crafting level is (XP-250)/50. Does anyone know how to calculate the level of an item below your crafting level?

Ignoring the bonus for gained quality (as you have above) the calculation would be (Current level - 10) + (XP / 25). So if you got 125 exp (without bonus) at level 20 the craft would be level 15. Obviously you don't get exp for items 10+ levels under you, so no way to calculate those accurately.

How does the quality bonus work then (so I am sure I am being accurate)?

[Derkatron]

Quality bonus is .1% increase of the level-generated experience per point of quality gained. If you did a recipe 1 level higher and went from quality 10 to 30, you'd get 300xp+2%, or 306xp total. It's rounded to the nearest whole point, unsurprisingly.

Might want to look at my old post, I haven't verified the all the base exp for levels below in 1.19 though.

(Current level - 10) + (XP / 25)

This formula doesn't apply to recipes more than 6 levels below.

I was actually using your post for most of my calculations Tymora, thanks for your hard work. I wasn't aware that it broke down below six, my testing wasn't very through that low, appreciate the clarification!

(XP-250)/50

What is the result of this formula? How far is it (the recipe) above me?

Yes, its the number of levels above yours.

For example, say you are level 30, and make an Ornate Steel Thingamabob. You had a starting quality of 10 and ended with a quality of 40, and you get 515xp.

First, you'd get rid of the quality bonus. You had 30 points of increased quality, so you need to divide the xp total by 1.03 (as in Tymora's post, [QUALITYGAINED*.001]+1, or as I posted, a tenth of a percent per point of quality), getting 500.

Then you'd apply the second formula since it's over 250, (XP-250)/50, because each level over yours adds 50 xp.

This gives you 5, which means the actual level of Ornate Steel Thingamabobs is 35.

Thank you! But I am quite dense at math. Correct me if I am wrong.

I am trying to figure out the Eye of Ice's level.

Got 603 EXP.
Got Quality from 15 to 19.
I am level 25 Goldsmith.

So I have to do 603/1.004 = 600.59

Can I do a round down?
And just go (600-250) = 350
So.... 350/50 = 7 levels above me?

Sooooo if I got so low gain in quality, I can just omit it?
And be like (603-250)/50 = 7.06

Yep, that looks solid to me, Aleczan.
