Talk:Conserve MP

From FFXI Wiki

i wonder if this New MP Cost = floor(Old MP Cost × N ÷ 16) is correct (where n is an integer between 8-15). couldn't also be 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 + 1/6, 1/10, 1/12, 1/14 so that they are all integer fractions that have 1 in numerator and the denominators are the multiples of 2? this give s you the 8 fraction spread with no odd assumption number /16. plus generating this number is easier, just a RNG (4-32 div 2) (div = division of integers discarding any remainder.

mathematically this is a much simpler function MP cost = Original MP(1/(rng(4-32)div 2). Or actually that can be simplified to 1/(rng(1-8)*2)

So I think a simpler way to show that formula is Old mp cost * (1/N) where N is a random integer 1-8 doubled.

in order, 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/14, 1/16

This would also change the average % of MP reduction to be 17.3% instead of 23% -- 05:37, 25 March 2022‎ Lordtrey
