Math Formula

Functions to reproduce values the client derives from its own scripts. Presented in LUA.

Scaled experience reward from quests

function calcSkillPoint(player, lvl, weight)
    weight = weight / 100
    return math.ceil(expTable[lvl] * weight)  
    -- expTable is a table listing total XP needed per level
end

Command MP cost

local commandCost = {  
    -- Some example base MP costs before the formula scales the cost to current level
    ["raise"] = 150,
    ["cure"] = 40,
    ["cura"] = 100,
    ["curaga"] = 150,
    ["firaga"] = 255,
    ["thundara"] = 135,
};
