fantastic

Question 1:

Do we want
lv1 Chant of Battle
Increase AC by 1 (L1) to 6 (L60) to 6 (L65)
Increase STR by 5 (L1) to 20 (L60) to 21 (L65)
Increase DEX by 5 (L1) to 20 (L60) to 21 (L65)

or just
lv1 Chant of Battle
Increase AC by 1 (L1) to 6 (L60)
Increase STR by 5 (L1) to 20 (L60)
Increase DEX by 5 (L1) to 20 (L60)

Question 2: Do I have any volunteers to check for mistakes?

I'm sure just showing the effects to level 60 would be more useful on this server than to level 65. However, that would also require a lot more work in updating the songs.

[worch]

no need for 65 since p99 will only ever go to 60, so I'd say drop the L65.

I can check for mistakes. Let me know if there is something specific you'd like me to look for.

[ezri]

Okay I've put everything into a spreadsheet on google docs.
If you guys are happy with the numbers I'll start putting them into the wiki.

Over the next day or two, I'll go through the google doc numbers, working down from lvl 60, and post what I find.

Copy of doc with notes as I go through it:

One thing I've noticed is that the +ATK effect on L56 McVaxius' Rousing Rondo appears to be handled as a floating point, +13.75. What I observe is that depending on the weapon I have, ATK increases by 13 or 14 in the UI. Perhaps we shouldn't necessarily round the L60 values?

[worch]

There are a couple I yet need to test with a willing victim, but otherwise, I'm done. Any issues I found were noted in the doc I linked in the previous post. Several L60 values appear to round up (ceiling), instead of rounding to nearest integer.

[ezri]

Thanks worch; I've been through your list of corrections and checked whether using ROUNDUP() instead of ROUND() works across the board, it doesn't - so I think the exceptions will have to be dealt with on a per song basis.
For the lv57 ATK difference, I'm happy if we put a comment in the song saying that ATK may vary depending on weapon rather than putting in a decimal, which may confuse people.
I'm happy to start with the updates [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

lv65 -> lv60 overhaul completed with comments.
1. Lv58 Jonthan's Inspiration calculation of 62% was made based on max level of 65. The actual max level was 63. Calculation adjusted to 63% to compensate for error.
2. Removed duplicate value ranges (eg; 8@56 to 8@60) from following songs
2.a lv56 Song of Midnight
2.b lv60 Angstlich's Assonance
