Changing str and agl and dex of mobs in DB

[HurtinuDaily]

a non linear equasion that I ill also test, or someone else can if they want...

str = 15 + (level*1.5) + (level*level)/25

lvl 01 = 17
lvl 10 = 34
lvl 20 = 61
lvl 30 = 96
lvl 40 = 139
lvl 50 = 190
lvl 60 = 249
lvl 61+ = 252

code:
update npc_types set str=15+level*1.5+((level*level)/25);
update npc_types set agi=15+level*1.5+((level*level)/25);
update npc_types set dex=15+level*1.5+((level*level)/25);

update npc_types set str=252 where str > 252;
update npc_types set agi=252 where agi > 252;
update npc_types set dex=252 where dex > 252;

The first one worked good, but the raid mobs are still missing toomuch

I personally like the nonlinear approach to the stats but the main thing that I do not like is how low it makes the characters stats below level 25 so I just added this to it.

update npc_types set str=15+level*1.5+((level*level)/25);
update npc_types set agi=15+level*1.5+((level*level)/25);
update npc_types set dex=15+level*1.5+((level*level)/25);

update npc_types set str=255 where str > 255;
update npc_types set agi=255 where agi > 255;
update npc_types set dex=255 where dex > 255;

update npc_types set str=75 where str < 75;
update npc_types set agi=75 where agi < 75;
update npc_types set dex=75 where dex < 75;

I will be doing more thorough testing on this during the next week to see how well it works out.

I did a bunch of analysis on items to figure out what stats players can obtain (using the required level of items), and I came up with a few formulas.... somebody should test them out for me....
Stats:
0.0026*level*level*level - 0.1429*level*level + 2.9491*level + 75

Resists:
0.0026*level*level*level - 0.1399*level*level + 2.7868*level + 20


Also, note that the stat cap for players is as high as 365 at level 70 with AAs... so theres no reason to cap mobs at 255... I dont think the 400ish that comes out for stats at level 70 above is unreasonable... they are supposed to be hard, hehe.

some day I will put out my analysis data... every stat I looked at on weapons followed a very similar curve, and the 3rd order poly fit it quite well.

I will give this a try, I was thinking the same thing on the 255 stats cap but I wanted to do a little more testing befroe deciding how high I wanted them to go. I will give this a shot and let you know how it works out for me.

I liked fathernitwits code after lvl 10 or so, at level 1 I could not kill a mob with an untwinked toon, I have now leveled my toons to 55 no twinking at all, no gm status using these stats and they are alot like eq live except instead of + 75 I used + 30

0.0026*level*level*level - 0.1429*level*level + 2.9491*level + 30

this way mobs are killable at lvl 1, although still tough.

Edit: Sorry for bumping an old thread but It takes a while to test.
