Talk:Adventurer's Guild Badge

Okay, as a preliminary, I'm going to use a system of "0/0/0/0/0" to designate the levels of the various upgrades of a badge. That is, the first spot is the binding, the second is the material, the third is the device, then motif, and finally, the gem. So, the 0/2/0/0/0 badge below is a badge that has a level 2 upgrade on the material, and nothing else.

Additionally, these are what I have as categories for the skills, as far as how enhancive they are:

• Major skills: All lores, Armor Use, MOC
• Moderate skills: All weapon skills, all mana control skills, Harness Power, etc.
• Minor skills: Pickpocket, Survival, First Aid
• Worthless skills: Climbing, Swimming

I'll complete this list, later.

This is very cool. Please continue with your research. In the mean time, I edited the main page to remove some of the obvious inaccuracy (including the implication that all skill bonuses are the same, in terms of boosting at a given number of upgrades)

I have a suspicion that this actually boils down to "at 0/2/0/0/0, you can have a badge with a recharge cost of up to 500", something of that nature. But I haven't worked on that myself.--GOAT (talk) 17:16, 20 March 2015 (CDT)

Goat- the last edit on this page before yours was made in 2009, I highly doubt this research is ongoing. But your addition was good :) VANKRASN39 (talk) 17:24, 20 March 2015 (CDT)

Badges

A 0/2/0/0/0 badge can hold the following:

Strength 3 Constitution 4 Dexterity 4 Agility 4 Discipline 4 Aura 2 Logic 5 Intuition 5 Wisdom 3 Influence 5

Strength bonus 1 Constitution bonus 1 Dexterity bonus 1 Agility bonus 1 Discipline bonus 1 Aura bonus 1 Logic bonus 2 Intuition bonus 2 Wisdom bonus 1 Influence bonus 2

Maximum mana 4 Mana recovery 2 Maximum health 5 Health recovery 2 Maximum stamina 4 Stamina recovery 4 Spirit recovery 0

Major skill ranks Lores, Armor Use 0 Moderate skill ranks Weapons skills, Shield Use 1 Minor skill ranks Survival, Pickpocket 1 Worthless skill ranks Climbing, Swimming 2

Major skill bonus Lores, Armor Use 3 Moderate skill bonus Weapons skills, Shield Use 4 Minor skill bonus Survival, Pickpocket 5 Worthless skill bonus Climbing, Swimming 5

Level 48 Sorcerer with generally sorcerer skills. There are 3 messages one can receive.

• Certainly (and adds the enhancement)
• Tough luck, your badge can't handle that much power.
• That would make your badge far too powerful for someone like you to handle.

• Max is the # of ranks I was actually able to put in
• Max2 is the # of ranks above that which I got the "badge can't handle power" message

I'm assuming that had I been another profession or trained in that skill, I would be able to add that enhancement.

As you can clearly see, 1-1-0-0-0 equals 2-0-0-0-0. So it's better to do Rank 1 on all 5, then rank 2 in all 5... etc etc.

Notes from Arianiss

GOAL 1: 5/5/0/0/0 (unlocks 2nd enhancive) (300k lifetime points)

GOAL 2: 7/7/6/0/0 (unlocks 3rd enhancive) (770k lifetime points)

GOAL 3: 7/7/6/1/0 (power of enhancements is based on total unlocks so unlock the cheapest stuff) (780k lifetime points)

GOAL 4: 7/7/7/6/6 (1,260k lifetime points)

7/7/7/7/7 (1,400k lifetime points)

10/10/10/10/10 (2,750k lifetime points)

The results of the badge research is 5/5 first, then 7/7/6 after.

It's the first two equal to 10 for 2nd stat and first 3 equal to 20 for the 3rd stat.

The power limit of a badge is for TOTAL enhancive "power" across all 3 (if unlocked) enhanive slots, which slot it's in doesn't matter. iirc you had rank 9 upgrade in your first spot? You could redo your badge and spread out the BP for ranks 8 & 9 (170k BP) into cheaper upgrades for a higher total of upgrades (which dictates the maximum power)
