It isn't that. I've managed to get close to the actual formula, but there are some tiny fractional amounts which I haven't been able to account for. Still, the formula is pretty damned close and should get you within 1 point of the actual ingame HAM costs of throwing specials.<br /> <br /> This means fairly acurate calculators can be built which will show you how HAM costs are affected by adjusting your SQF. Ready?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The SQF value is a 14:1 percentage reduction of the Base Cost of the special attack.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For example:<br /> <br /> 1. UAH2 has a base cost of 12/18/12.<br /> <br /> 2. Given an S/Q/F of 400/350/450, the HAM cost is reduced by 28.6% / 25% / 32%.<br /> <br /> 3. HAM cost for these stats is 9/14/8. That's 8.75 / 13.5 / 8.14 rounded.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I'll stress again that the formula isn't accounting for some fractional amounts, but will usually get within 1 point of actual ingame costs.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> HAM cost formula where Base is the H, A or M base cost for the skill and Stat is the relevant SQF value:<br /> <br /> Cost = Base * ( 1 - ( Stat / 1400 ) )<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Well, now I suppose you want to know the Base values for all the skills. Try this where Cost is actual, ingame H, A or M cost and Stat is the relevant SQF value:<br /> <br /> Base = Cost / ( 1 - ( Stat / 1400 ) )<br /> <br /> For example, given ingame Health cost of 13 and Strength of 380:<br /> Base = 13 / ( 1 - ( 380 / 1400 ) )<br /> Base = 13 / ( 1 - 0.271428571 )<br /> Base = 13 / .728571428<br /> Base = 17.84313725<br /> So Base Health Cost for the special is about 18.<br /> <br /> Figuring the Base from existing Stat and Cost values means you are working with rounded numbers ( a cost of 9 may actually be 8.57 rounded up), so again, the results will not always be exact.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
