Andrew Sage is the player of Divid, but he doesn't really play other characters. He works with a company called Air Liquide, and makes his life pretty much his job and his games. No, no women are involved. Ah, it's a simple life. Krakiipedia editing is a hobby done in his spare time when he's bored of playing GemStone IV, which has been happening often, lately. He has a wealth of knowledge and is overly willing to write the articles required to share that knowledge. Research, however, seems to be one of his other favored hobbies.

I need to start being less critical of prejudism within GemStone as a roleplaying tool...

Long term projects

These are topics that have been of interest to me for quite a while, and I've done some research, sometimes extensively, on these things. Additionally, I have had records of these things on my PC's HDD for quite a while, but a lot of the data I've collected through the years was lost in a harddrive crash. I've recollected much of it, and much of my data is correct due to research with the trading skill, involving the values of the Gems that I've collected.

• Gems
• Foraging system

Unresolved questions

• Are critical or raw damage calculations randomized somehow? (see Critical)
• What are the damage factors for Hand of Tonis (505)?
• Is there a reliable method of calculating the damage factor of a weapon and are the values we have currently recorded correct?
