<derpella> Damn... I have over 200% magical exp, maxed astral, 99int+3hat, 655 magic attack... And I make 5 iron powders. WTF?
<temporizer> oh
<Mrgrey> damn indeed... hm
<derpella> what can be the reason?
<Mrgrey> hm... well what's your level again?
<derpella> 63
<derpella> I am sitting next to you, btw
<Mrgrey> hm, I can't be sure, but it could be something that improves with actual level
<Mrgrey> or i believe there's another amount of magic mastery, like 450% or something
<derpella> derpella with level 7x made 6 powders when restated to mage...
<Mrgrey> i believe i make 6, even with less m attack than what you mentioned before, though i could be wrong
<derpella> well, I guess the only thing I can do is level up more
<Peablog> With over 100 intelligence and focused on astral soul level 9, I make six iron powders per iron ore every time.  With a lower intelligence I mostly made 5, sometimes 6, and every now and again 7 iron powders per iron ore.  Someone told me that that was to be expected, based on something that I do not understand........
<o11c> no, it has nothing to do with level
<o11c> although due to a quirk of the formula, you actually have a better chance of making 6 powders with some lower amount of m.attack
<Mrgrey> hm strange
<o11c> granted, I'm assuming that spellpower == mattack
<o11c> it hits a partial maximum when spellpower is a multiple of 140, such as 560
<o11c> hmm ... spellpower = spellpower + (skill(caster, MAGIC) + skill(caster, school)) * 10;
<o11c> of course, I have no clue if that actually works
<o11c> so with general and transmute level 2, that's a bonus of 40
<o11c> so you actually want 520 m.attack
<o11c> or 660
<derpella> so should I get naked?
<derpella> will the ring +1 give me +5 MA?
<o11c> dunno
<o11c> it's really late
<derpella> and does level up give ma bonus?
<o11c> just make sure (at skill level 2 in both general and transmutation magic) that you have either 520 or 660 m.attack
<derpella> ok...
<o11c> Mrgrey would probably know that one
* o11c raises SIGINT and gets caught by a handler
<Mrgrey> lol, yeah every level you get about 1 m attack that ive seen
<derpella> damn, disrobing only lowers me to 580
<derpella> is it a bug or a feature?
<derpella> not disrobing, but being better being worse
