Well.. Captain Capslock, let me explain it. A critical hit is a hit thats harder then an average hit, the amount of damage is never set. On some gear, % X Critical Hit Chance appears, either ranger or fighter (Mages can critical hit but cant boost the frequenty) You count up all your % on all gear and throw it in the formula: 3 * (crit/100) + 3 So if you got 60% critical hit chance you get 3 * (60/100) + 3 3 * 0,6 + 3 1,8 + 3 = 4,8% Critical hit chance. That means on average that you hit 1 out of 20 a critical hit. To know when you critical hit just look at your damage, if it appears orange you did a critical hit. |

15%... So you're sayin you have a total combined critical % of 400%? Just lookin at your character sheet: you have about 162% in total. Your actual crit rate should be more like 7.86% Yes you will crit more in Dew Valley... there is an unknown factor that comes into play when you're a higher level that the mob's you're fighting. 1) You don't miss as much. 2) Your crits hit more often. 3) Your spells hit more often. At a guess? The factor something like a fraction (higher level)/(lower level). -------------------- ------=== Babs ===----- Spetsdod - Lvl 100 Ranger (DungeonRunners, W2) / Moderator: Townstons Wiki KrindiFain - Chief Master Sergeant (Exteel) -Semper Gumby (Always Flexible) |

That formula seems more complicated than it needs to be. How about if 60% 3 x 1.6 = 4.8%. or 120% 3 x 2.2 = 6.6% -------------------- Altstar: 15 RB Hunter Ranger 97% :: Fighter 97% :: Mage 98% My Gear & Wishlist :: L10 RBs for trade! |

The Townston guide suggest (based on the math) that a critical hit produces double-damage. Also, every thread I've found on this board suggests the same thing...but nobody has every actually presented that info in a proper thread. Is this true? Does Crit = double damage? -------------------- "Holy Crap. This Demon Sniper is f'n amazing." - TheAgent |

A critical hit does double the damage that would have otherwise been done normally. Please note, this is almost never double the maximum possible damage. |

That is not for sure. If I do 1 - 7k dmg, and I hit for 2k but its a crit and makes maybe 4k, then I am still under my max dmg. The crit itself being double is almost always the case I am 99% sure, but its always random what dmg is gonna be made, and that damage 2x if it changes to a critical hit. |

Quote: Thanks for the clarification. So, perhaps a nice 'goal' is to tighten up the range of damage (3k-5k instead of 1k-7k) so that a crit-user will get more constant results - though that may not be possible with the current game mechanics. -------------------- "Holy Crap.

Yup double damage. Basically in normal combat, you do somewhere between the min and the max posted on your character sheet. The critical doubles that. If you want to see the proof for yourself, fight in dew valley with all your critgear, record about 10 orange damage readings from your weapon hits and average them out. It should be about double your average of the min and max. -------------------- ------=== Babs ===----- Spetsdod - Lvl 100 Ranger (DungeonRunners, W2) / Moderator: Townstons Wiki KrindiFain - Chief Master Sergeant (Exteel) -Semper Gumby (Always Flexible) |
