Re: Diamonds

[Deleted User 009 0]

Hey Asulon,

Today we made a few brief changes to how gathering and refining diamonds work in order to address some of the concerns the community had about the %’s being too low.

• 
  
  
• Miners will now get DIAMOND ORE, not refined diamonds.
  
• Level 75 blacksmithing is required to smelt the diamond ore into a diamond; the % success rate is just your level – 5. (Level 75 = 70% chance)
  
• Buffed all crafting chances for diamond armor. Chances of forging diamond armor are now as follows:
  

* everything after the “=” sign is what the formula is.

** blevel = your blacksmithing level

Diamond helmet: double my_bs = blevel;

Diamond chestplate: double my_bs = blevel / 1.5;

Diamond leggings: double my_bs = blevel / 1.5 + 5;

Diamond boots: double my_bs = blevel + 5;

Quick and efficient when the community wants something.

Great job :D

You do not smelt diamonds, you smelt the stone that the diamonds are in. The stone smelts, and the diamonds remain...

[Destroyer_Bravo 1054]

Yes! Even though I only have 85 smithing!

[Heero 4092]

Cool beans!

I have no idea what the equations mean, can we get the % chances for the d stuff at 100?

It's basic math...

/ = divided by

[Tortek 51]

Awesome now people will actually want me to make diamond armor for them, since I'm 100 smithing :D.

Can someone post what the success rates would be for crafting diamond armor? I'm too lazy to do math :P

[Aren Whitestorm 65]

Cooooooooooooool

Erlend, diamonds are pure crystalic structures made of carbon. They literally burn like coal.

It should be like this on level 100:

Helmet-100%

Chestplate-66.6% I think

Leggings-71.6%

Boots-105%?

Can't do much since I don't know what bs means...

Diamond helmet: double my_bs = blevel;

Diamond chestplate: double my_bs = blevel / 1.5;

Diamond leggings: double my_bs = blevel / 1.5 + 5;

Diamond boots: double my_bs = blevel + 5;

Double my_bs? Don't know what that means...

[brvhrt1005 86]

What about Diamond and Gold weapons, Are the percentages raised yet?

[The Best Basileus 97]

My math came out the same as yours Pandalex. Only thing is I don't know what bs is either lol.

Double the level of your blacksmithing?
