==Drop Rate Information==

This is a temporary page to aggregate some more common drop rates while the wiki doesn't have full loot drops working.

Squire to Riches is usually the same as Normals rates, if it's blank assume the Normals rate.

* (1 - <span style="color:#0099ff">Projectile Reduction</span>)
)
* Projectile Falloff
+ <span style="color:#66ff33">True Damage</span>

===Base Damage===

*The displayed damage of a damaging effect such as Weapon Damage, a skill, or a spell. "Base Damage" indicates that it creates a new damage instance.
*Examples include:
**[[Rondel Dagger|Rondel Dagger (Poor)'s]] {{Weapon Data|Rondel Dagger|stats|Physical Base Weapon Damage 1}} Weapon Damage
**[[Rogue#Skills-0|Rupture's]] {{Ability_Data|Rupture|PhysicalBaseDamage}}
**[[Wizard#Spells-0|Lightning Strike's]] {{Ability_Data|LightningStrike|MagicalBaseDamage}}
**[[Cleric#Skills-0|Judgement's]] {{Ability_Data|Judgement|MagicalBaseDamage}}
**[[Crystal Sword|Crystal Sword (Poor)'s]] {{Weapon Data|Crystal Sword|stats|Magical Base Weapon Damage 1}} Magic Weapon Damage

===Buff Weapon Damage===

*This stat is multiplied by Impact Zone Multiplier and Combo Multiplier. It essentially acts like a modification to your weapon's base damage. It is unknown if this is affected by [[Scaling]] as no weapon-sourced damage has less than 100% Scaling. Sources include:
**[[Fighter#Perks-0|Fighter's Slayer perk]]
**[[Fighter#Perks-0|Fighter's Sword Mastery perk]]
**[[Barbarian#Perks-0|Barbarian's Axe Specialization perk]]
**[[Bard#Perks-0|Bard's War Song perk]]
**[[Bard#Perks-0|Bard's Rapier Mastery perk]]
**[[Warlock#Spells-0|Warlock's Bloodstained Blade spell]]

===Buff Magical Damage===
Magical counterpart to Buff Weapon Damage. Functions the same except it is a Magical stat and as such will be affected by Magical modifiers and not Physical modifiers.

Only affects Magic Weapon Damage and not other sources of Magical Damage.

Sources include:
*[[Wizard#Perks-0|Wizard's Staff Mastery perk]]

===Gear Weapon Damage===

*The damage added by the "Additional Weapon Damage" [[Enchantments|affix]] on gear (formally "Physical Weapon Damage Add"). This stat benefits from Power Bonus. This stat will only apply to direct attacks from weaponry, and will not apply to skills such as Rupture, Caltrops, Achilles Strike, and so on. This is a Physical stat, and so will not add to sources of Magical Damage. This stat is different from "Buff" Weapon Damage, in that it will not be multiplied by your Impact Zone Multiplier or your Combo Multiplier. It is unknown if this is affected by [[Scaling]] as no weapon-sourced damage has less than 100% Scaling.

===Gear Magical Damage===

*The damage added by the "Magical Damage" stat on the Magic Staff, Spellbook, and Crystal Ball. This damage benefits from Power Bonus. This damage will apply to all sources of Magical Damage, and will do so multiple times per spell, if the spell has multiple damage sources. Examples include each hit of Magic Missile, or Zap's direct hit and DoT portions. This is a Magical stat, and so will not add to sources of Physical Damage. This stat is influenced by [[Scaling]].

===Divine Strike Damage===

* The damage added by the Cleric buff "Divine Strike". This stat benefits from Power Bonus. Unlike Weapon Damage, this stat '''will''' apply to both weapon attacks, and indirect sources of Physical Damage, such as Rupture, Caltrops, and Achilles Strike. This is a Physical stat, and so will not add to sources of Magical Damage. This stat is influenced by [[Scaling]].

===Impact Zone Multiplier===

*A multiplier enforced when hitting with the "sour spots" of certain weapons. See [[Weapons|Weapons]] for each weapon's exact multipliers.

===Combo Multiplier===

*A multiplier enforced when hitting with the latter hits of certain weapons' combos. See [[Weapons|Weapons]] for each weapon's exact multipliers.

===Power Bonus===

*A multiplier that affects all damage types listed so far. This can be of the Physical or Magical variety, and each will only apply to its respective damage type (Physical Power Bonus will not apply to Zap, for example). This value can be positive or negative, and is influenced by gear or by the player's [[Stats|Attributes]]. This stat is influenced by [[Scaling]]. Physical Damage Bonus is included (modifies Physical Power stat).

===Additional Damage===

*The damage added by specific Perks or by the "Additional Physical/Magical Damage" affix on gear. This can be of the Physical or Magical variety, and each will only apply to its respective damage type (Additional Physical Damage will not apply to Zap, for example). This stat does not benefit from Power Bonus. This stat will apply to any instance of its respective type of damage, and will do so multiple times per skill if applicable. Examples include Achilles Strike's individual movement damage ticks (Physical), or each hit of Magic Missile (Magical). This stat is influenced by [[Scaling]].

===Hit Location Bonus===
<span id="Hit Location Multiplier"> Also referred to as Hit Location Multiplier, Limb Modifier, or Headshots </span>

A multiplier enforced when hitting the head or the limbs with certain attacks. The multipliers:
*Head: +175% (1.75x)
*Body: +0% (1.0x)
*Arms: -20% (.8x)
*Hands: -30% (.7x)
*Legs: -4% (0.6x)
*Feet: -50% (0.5x)

Area of Effect and Damage over Time sources are not affected by this multiplier.

For on-hit damaging effects there are some exceptions. These exceptions are also mentioned on their respective class description:
*[[Warlock]]'s Blow of Corruption does benefit
*[[Wizard]]'s Ignite and the Ignite's burn does benefit, even though the burn is a status/debuff

Some other on-hits that correctly don't benefit, listed for the sake of making it extra clear:
*[[Cleric]]'s Smite does NOT benefit
*[[Barbarian]]'s Achilles Strike does NOT benefit as it doesn't hit any part of the body
*[[Rogue]]'s Poisoned Weapon does NOT benefit as it is a status/debuff

====Headshot Damage Reduction====
Comes from implicit rolls on equipment like the Hounskull.

This reduces Hit Location Bonus if the target hitbox is a head, while Ranger's Sharpshooter increases it.
For example, targeting the head with the (15%) Sharpshooter perk against a player with 20% Headshot reduction results in<br>
<code>1.5 + .15 - .2 = 1.45x headshot multiplier</code><br>

====Headshot Penetration====
Applies to Headshot Damage Reduction in the exact same way that Penetration applies to Damage Reduction. For example, 50% Headshot Penetration converts 20% Headshot Damage Reduction into just 10%.

===Race Damage Bonus===
<span id="Race Bonus"> </span>
A more recently researched multiplier that is currently only utilized by Race specific damage increases. <br>

Race damage bonus applies to both Physical and Magical base damages, and is not restricted to Weapon damage, such as Undead Race Damage Bonus from [[Cleric]]'s Undead Slaying perk.

===Race Damage Reduction===
<span id="Damage Mod Reduction"> </span>
A more recently researched multiplier that is currently only utilized by Race specific damage reductions, like Undead Race Damage Reduction from [[Warlock]]'s Infernal Pledge perk.<br>

It is assumed to be like Race Damage Bonus in that this applies to both Physical and Magical base damages, but needs confirmation.

It is currently impossible for a player to be damaged with Race Damage Reduction active against a target that also has Race Damage Bonus, meaning it is unknown if this adds or multiplies with Race Damage Bonus.

===Damage Reduction===

* A defensive multiplier based on the opponent's Damage Reduction stat. Physical Damage Reduction applies to Physical Damage sources, such as weapon hits, Rupture, Achilles Strike, and so on. Magical Damage Reduction applies to Magical Damage sources, such as Zap, Explosive Bottles, Poison Weapon, and so on. Damage Reduction can also be negative, functionally increasing the damage it receives.

===Damage Reduction Mod===
A multiplier to Damage Reduction recently added that modifies the base Damage Reduction. When active, it can even be seen modifying Physical/Magical Damage Reduction in the in game Character stat sheet.

Examples including but not limited to:
* [[Druid]]'s Bear form skill
* [[Warlock]]'s Curse of Weakness secondary effect

===Elemental Damage Reduction===

* An Elemental Multiplier based on the opponent's Elemental Damage Reduction stat. This elemental modifier applies to specific elemental damage types such as ones listed in [[Spell types]], i.e. Blunt, Fire, and Evil. Other sources of elemental damage can include items such as [[Fulgor]]'s Lightning Magical Damage.
* There is currently no Physical Elements (Ailments?) reductions, just Magicals.
* Like regular [[Damage#Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction]], Elemental Damage Reduction can also be negative, functionally increasing damage it receives.
* A list of Monster Elemental Damage Reductions can be found under the "Damage Reductions" column on their respective [[Monsters]] page.
{{NeedsTesting|* In the formula, Elemental DR is listed to add after DR Mod and Pen are taken into account. However, this is not yet tested, as these, such as Magical Pen, may apply.}}

===Penetration===

*A multiplier to Damage Reduction after Damage Reduction Mod that can be acquired from certain weapons, or from the "Armor Penetration" and "Magical Penetration" affixes on gear. This stat multiplies with their Damage Reduction %, not their Armor Rating/Magic Resist Rating.
<code>% Damage Reduced = ''Target's Damage Reduction (after Mod)'' * (1 - ''Attacker's Pen'')</code>

This then multiplies the damage an enemy takes with this new reduction by (1 - Target's Modified Damage Reduction)
Or, combined
<code>Damage Multiplier = 1 - ''Target's Damage Reduction (after Mod)'' * (1 - ''Attacker's Pen'')</code>

*This modifier cannot bring Damage Reduction below 0% meaning there is no functional benefit to exceeding 100% Penetration
*This modifier also does nothing if the target's Damage Reduction % is 0% or less.
*Using these limitations, the above formula can be expanded to the following: (note that for brevity, Damage Reduction is written as DR and Penetration is written as Pen.
<code>Damage Multiplier = max((1-DR*(1-min(Pen,1))),1-DR)</code>

===Projectile Damage Reduction===
<span id="Projectile Reduction"><span>
*A defensive multiplier that can be acquired from Plate Armor, or the Projectile Resistance Perk for Fighter. This influences damage done by Projectiles, including but not limited to Arrows, Bolts, Throwables. Some magic are also projectiles and are specified on class pages, like [[Warlock]]'s Bolt of Darkness

===Projectile Falloff ===

*Damage multiplier to gravity affected projectiles, currently including arrows shot by [[Recurve Bow]], [[Survival Bow]], [[Longbow]], [[Hand Crossbow]], [[Crossbow]], [[Windlass Crossbow]] as well as throwables, like [[Drum]]'s, [[Throwing Knife]], [[Francisca Axe]], but not [[Torch]]es. The multiplier depends on the air time of the projectile, is different for each source, and can be found in the mentioned pages.

===True Damage===

*The damage added by the "True Physical Damage" or "True Magical Damage" affixes on gear. Each will only apply to its respective damage type (True Magical Damage will not apply to an Arming Sword, for example). This damage is mostly unaffected by any other multipliers, and is added at the end of all calculations. This stat is influenced by [[Scaling]].
*Cleric's Perseverance Perk is effectively "negative True Damage", however it seems to not reduce damage if that damage would be reduced below 1. For example, 1 stack of Rogue's Poison Weapon tends to deal less than 1 damage per second, and so Perseverance will not reduce it.

===True Base Damage===
Created instances of Base Damage that are True, meaning they are functionally identical to the above mentioned True Damage, except that they create a new damage instance rather than adding to it.

===Absolute Reduction ===
Reduces the final damage dealt flat after all other modifiers, to a minimum of 1 damage per instance, including each tick of Damage over Times such as [[Rogue]]'s Poisoned Weapon.

Does not affect the Dark Swarm damage nor negative amounts of [[Healing#Percent_Max_Health_Healing|Percent Max Health Healing]].

[[Cleric]]'s Perk Persevereance has {{Ability_Data|Perseverance|PhysicalAbsoluteReduction}} that reduces all incoming magic and physical damage by 2 per instance.

[[Golem]] appears to have 300 Physical Absolute Reduction, but after extensive testing it is nearly confirmed that Physical Absolute Reduction is either bugged for PVE enemies or is not being applied to Golem in any capacity.

==Damage/Healing over Time==
Damage or Healing that is dealt over a period of time, in the form of a [[Statuses|Status]].<br>

*Rather than calculating the value per hit, they calculate the total damage/healing, and then divide by the number of damaging/healing ticks, which is usually the same as the number of seconds.

*Additionally, nearly all Damage over times have 50% [[Damage Calculation#Attribute Bonus Ratio|Attribute Bonus Ratio]] rather than 100%, making damage increases only half as effective
* Example: Rogue's Rupture skill does 20 physical damage over 5 seconds, or 4 damage a second. If they attain +5 additional physical damage this becomes 22.5 damage over 5 seconds, or 4.5 a second.

*The number of damaging ticks is affected by the receiving player's [[Stats#Buff Duration|Buff/Debuff Duration]], and is rounded down to the nearest integer. This strictly affects how long the DoT lasts, and not the damage per tick of the DoT
*Sources like Ray of Darkness, Din of Darkness, Torture Mastery, and movement based abilities like Achilles Strike and Earthquake are '''not''' Damage/Heal over times, rather, bonuses apply per-hit to these like normal.
*Sources like Locusts' Swarm and Explosive lanterns fire only deal damage while inside the area and are also '''not''' damage over times

=== Formulas===
''Note, "Value" refers to either Damage or Healing''

<code>Base # of Ticks = Base duration/Interval length</code>

<code>Total duration = Base # of Ticks * (1 + Debuff Duration%)</code>

<code>Total ticks = floor(Total duration)</code>

<code>Total Value = Base Value/Base Ticks * Total ticks</code>

<code>Value per interval = Total value / Base Ticks</code>

<code>Value per second = Value per interval / Interval length</code>

Since nearly all Damage/Healing over times have an Interval length of 1 second, these can be simplified to:

<code>Total Duration = Base Duration * (1 + Debuff Duration)</code>

<code>Total Value = Base Value / Base Duration * floor(Total Duration)</code>

<code>Value per second = Total Value / Base Duration</code>

===Examples===

====Example 1: [[Rogue]]'s Rupture====

* Rogue's Rupture which normally does 20 damage, with -17% Physical Power Bonus% and +10 additional physical damage will instead deal 23.3 damage due to having a 50% [[Damage Calculation#Attribute Bonus Ratio|Attribute Bonus Ratio]].

<code>Total damage (before debuff duration) = 20 * (1-.17 * .5)+10 * .5 = 23.3</code>

*Rupture lasts 5s and deals damage in 1s intervals, so against a Bard with 25% longer Debuff duration, it will instead deal 27.96 damage

<code>Base ticks = 5/1 = 5 ticks</code>

<code>Total duration = 5 * (1 + .25) = 6.25s </code>

<code>Total Damage = 23.3/5 * floor(6.25) = 27.96 damage</code>

<code>Damage per second = 27.96/5 = 5.592 damage per second</code>

====Example 2: [[Wizard]]'s Zap's Burn====

* Zap's Burn deals damage with a 1s interval and lasts only 1s total, meaning any negative debuff duration, even -1% (in theory), will make it have 0 ticks and deal 0 damage due to rounding.
* On the contrary, it would require at least 100% debuff duration% on the target to get an extra tick from Zap.
* NOTE: In reality, if the unrounded # of ticks is very close to a whole number, its susceptible to client-server ticks per second (TPS) variation and can therefore have varying results.
** With the Zap example, if the unrounded # of ticks is ~.97 - 1, the zap burn will likely still be applied due to game tick delay.
** If the # of ticks is ~.96, the zap burn may happen sometimes, and not happen other times.
** If the # of ticks is ~.95 or lower, then you can nearly guarantee that the burn will never properly tick.
** See extensive research on the topic that led to this theory in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJZWHCi50g0 Barbooian]'s video.

====Example 3: Potion of Healing====

*See [[Healing#Healing_Potion|Healing example of Potion of Healing]]

== Shapeshift==
Shapeshifts base damage (and [[Healing]]) works slightly different to other damage/healing. Instead of having a base amount decided from an equipped weapon/spell/skill/etc, the base amount is first determined by some primitive attribute such as [[Stats#Strength|Strength]] for the Bear ShapeShift.<br>

The typical base damage section-<br>
(
(Base Damage + "Buff" Weapon Damage) * Combo Multiplier * Impact Zone Multiplier
+ Gear "+N Weapon Damage"|"N Magical Damage"
+ Divine Strike Damage
)<br>

is replaced by<br>

(
Primitive Calc Value * Primitive Multiplier
+ Primitive Add
+ Divine Strike Damage
)<br>

Note the removal of Gear and Buff weapon damage, as well as Combo and Impact multipliers. Please note that Divine Strike Damage has not been confidently confirmed to work yet with Shapeshift damage.

All following parts of the formula can apply so long as the Shapeshift has them.<br><br>

=== Primitive Calc Value===
<span id="Primitive Stat"></span>
A given Primitive Stat (the 7 core [[Stats]]; Strength, Vigor, Agility, Dexterity, Will, Knowledge, and Resourcefulness), will be used as Primitive Calc in the [[Stats#ShapeShift Primitive based|Primitive Calc Value curve]]. As of writing this (may not be updated, use only as an example), having 15 of a given attribute like Strength will have a base damage/heal of 2.7, before adding in Primitive Add.<br><br>

[[Druid]]'s Bear is [[Stats#Strength|Strength]] [[Stats#ShapeShift Primitive based|based]], Panther is [[Stats#Agility|Agility]] [[Stats#ShapeShift Primitive based|based]], Chicken [[Stats#Resourcefulness|Resourcefulness]] [[Stats#ShapeShift Primitive based|based]], and Rat none.<br><br>

===Primitive Multiplier===
Primitive Multiplier is a multiplier to the primitive stat. Note, for some Shapeshift attacks this is 100%, meaning they effectively do not have a multiplier.<br><br>

===Primitive Add===
Primitive Add simply adds to the base damage after the Primitive Multiplier. Note, some Shapeshift attacks this is 0, meaning this can be skipped.<br><br>

===Example ===
If a given Shapeshift attack is described by the wiki to deal "Agility based * 50% + 5", then its Primitive Multiplier is 0.5 (50%), and its Primitive Add is 5. With 30 [[Stats#Agility|Agility]] (Primitive Calc), this at the time of writing (may not be kept up to date) give ~9 Primitive Calc Value. With an additional 10% [[Stats#Physical_Power_Bonus|Physical Power Bonus]], damage dealt would be: <br><br>

<code>(9 * 50% + 5) * (1 + 0.1) = 10.45</code><br>

==Health Cost==
[[Warlock]]'s [[spell]]s cost [[health]] instead of using the [[Spells#Spell_Count|Spell Count]] mechanic. This loss of health is not affected by any damage modifiers. This means that unlike [[#True_Damage|True Damage]], health costs can't be reduced by effects like [[Cleric#Perks-0|Cleric's Perseverance perk]].

==Rounding ==

*Damage/Health: All sources of damage/healing can do decimal amounts, and therefore you can have decimal health. Damage text that is displayed when you hit a dummy is always rounded down. Health on players' details page is always rounded up.
* Details page: Currently all details round up, but some to the nearest integer, and some to the nearest tenth. Wizard's Sage and Warlock's Malice can give decimal knowledge/will, although their displays round up to an integer. Expect all decimal stats to have a margin of error of +/- .1, and integer stats to have a margin of error of +/- 1.
*[[Stats#Memory Capacity|Memory Capacity]] is both rounded up to the nearest integer in the details page and in reality. +1% Memory Capacity will always equate to at least +1 Memory Capacity
*[[Stats#Buff Duration|Buffs/Debuffs]]: Durations are '''not''' rounded and last their exact amount. However, durations that perform an action in intervals, like [[Damage Calculation#Damage/Healing over Time|Damage/Healing over Time]], '''are''' rounded down to the nearest integer, resulting in thresholds that players may want to take advantage of. In other words, increases must be greater than its interval length, which is usually 1 second.
*[[Health#Max Health|Maximum Health]] can be decimal with fractional [[Strength]] and [[Vigor]] scaling, in which case the displayed Maximum Health is rounded up.

<code>Total Ticks = floor(Base Duration * (1 + Bonus Duration))</code>

===Examples===

*A 5s buff with 19% bonus duration will have

<code>floor(5 seconds * (1 + .19)) = 5 ticks</code>

*A 5s buff with 20% bonus duration, however, will have

<code>floor(5 seconds * (1 + .2)) = 6 ticks</code>

*A 5s buff with -1% bonus duration will have

<code>floor(5 seconds * (1 + -.01)) = 4 ticks</code>

==Notes==

*For statuses that can stack their damaging effect several times over, like [[Rogue]]'s Poisoned Weapon, the stack multiplier is not applied to the base damage in the beginning. Rather, the damage for one stack is calculated first, then that value is multiplied by the number of stacks after. This means that flat bonuses like [[#"Additional" Damage|Additional Physical/Magical Damage]] will apply once per stack rather than once for the entire stack.
*[[Rogue]]'s Weakpoint Attack debuff applies a multiplier to the target's [[Stats#Armor Rating|Armor Rating]] directly. Because Armor Rating to [[Stats#Physical_Damage_Reduction|Physical Damage Reduction]] follows a variable curve, it is very difficult to predict exactly how much this will increase damage to players. Damage to [[monsters]] is much easier to predict as all monsters of a given type always have the same, static PDR value, and almost all monster types have the same PDR.

==Attribute Bonus Ratio ==
<span id="Scaling">Also known as "Scaling" <span>

Information moved to [[Scaling]].

==Additional vs True==
=== Difference===
Using the formula, the difference between Additional Physical/Magical and True Physical/Magical can be summarized as follows:

Additional damage:
*Scales with [[Damage_Calculation#Hit Location Multiplier|Hit Location Bonus]] which can be both a good and a bad thing
*Reduced by Damage Reductions
*Reduced by Projectile Damage Falloff if its a gravity-affected projectile
*Generally better against enemies with lower damage reduction, and when headshots can be hit easily/consistently.

True damage:
*Unaffected by [[Damage_Calculation#Hit Location Multiplier|Hit Location Bonus]] which can be both a good and a bad thing
*Unaffected by Damage Reductions
*Unaffected by Projectile Damage Falloff
*Generally better against enemies with higher damage reduction, or when some sources of your damage cannot headshot, or when headshotting is difficult, or when using gravity-affected projectiles

On a particular hit, True damage is always better than Additional damage when it cannot headshot ([[Damage_Calculation#Damage/Healing over Time|Damage over Time]] / Area of Effect).

Additional is substantially better in PvE for physical hits as most [[Monsters]] have negative Physical Damage Reduction, and headshots are very consistent.

Note that neither of these benefit from [[Stats#Physical_Power_Bonus|Physical]]/[[Stats#Magic Power Bonus|Magic Power Bonus]].

===Formula===
To determine exactly which is better with your specific stats and by how much, use the following formula:

<pre style="width:fit-content;">(1 - Damage Reduction after Penetration) * (Hit Location Bonus) * (Damage Falloff)</pre>

For non-gravity affected projectiles, Damage Falloff can be left out.

If the resulting number is greater than 1, Add is better.

If the resulting number is less than 1, True is better.

===Examples===
NOTE: As of [[Patch:6.8.5#Patch 8.5|Patch 8.5 (Season 6.5)]], limb modifiers were changed and the following examples may use old limb modifiers.

====Example 1====
Scenario: Headshot against slightly above average damage reduction

For example, against an enemy with 33.33% Damage Reduction (after Penetration) with a headshot (1.5x Hit Location Bonus) (not projectile):

<pre style="width:fit-content;">(1 - .3333) * 1.5 = 1x</pre>

In this scenario, True gives exactly the same amount of damage as Additional.

====Example 2 ====
Scenario: Low damage reduction with a Damage over Time

Against an enemy with 20% Damage Reduction when using a Damage over Time (1x Hit Location Bonus) (not projectile):

<pre style="width:fit-content;">(1 - .2) * 1 = 0.8x</pre>

In this scenario, Additional gives 80% of the damage that True gives. In other words, Additional gives 20% less damage than True does.

====Example 3 ====
Scenario: No damage reduction, hitting limb

Against an enemy with 0% Damage Reduction and the damage hits a Hand (0.5x Hit Location Multiplier) (not projectile):

<pre style="width:fit-content;">(1 - 0) * 0.5 = 0.5x</pre>

In this scenario, Additional gives 50% of the damage that True gives. In other words, Additional gives 50% less damage than True does.

====Example 4====
Scenario: PvE with a headshot

Against an enemy with -22% Damage Reduction and the damage hits the head (1.5x Hit Location Bonus) (not projectile):

<pre style="width:fit-content;">(1 - -.22) * 1.5 = 1.83x</pre>

In this scenario, Additional gives 183% of the damage that True gives. In other words, Additional gives 83% more damage than True does.

====Example 5====
Scenario: Gravity-affected Projectile

Against an enemy with 10% Damage Reduction and an *arrow* hits their arm (0.5x Hit Location Bonus) after being in the air for half a second with a [[Recurve Bow]] (0.7x Damage Falloff)

<pre style="width:fit-content;">(1 - .1) * 0.5 * 0.7 = 0.315x</pre>

In this scenario, Additional gives 31.5% of the damage that True gives. In other words, Additional gives 68.5% less damage than True does.

====Example 6====
Scenario: Realistic PvP

Lastly, for a more realistic example, you can guess what your average Hit Location Bonus is. If you never hit the head, and sometimes you hit limbs/arms/feet, your average may be 0.9x.

Against an enemy with 20% Damage Reduction:

<pre style="width:fit-content;">(1 - .2) * 0.9 = 0.72x</pre>

In this scenario, Additional gives 72% of the damage that True gives. In other words, Additional gives 28% less damage than True does.

==Bugs==
*[[Rogue]]'s Rupture, although Physical damage, does not get increased by the Ambush perk if any Combo Multiplier is present (meaning not 1x). This may have to do with a change to Ambush during the Multiclassing period that made Ambush only buff physical weapon-hits.

* Drum's, Throwing Knives, and Francisca axes benefit twice from Gear and Buff Weapon Damage, but not Torches. Untested for Arrows/Bolts.

* While [[Wizard]]'s Staff Mastery is noted as "Buff Weapon Damage" it actually acts as Base damage because it creates an entirely new damage instance.

===Developer Comments===
Hi Adventurers,
This update prepares for the start of the new adventure rank season. We have also decided to remove the Fog of War to enable players to make more high-level strategic decisions weighing the risks and rewards of POIs and extraction points. Although we enjoyed the feelings of exploration added by the Fog of War, the feature led to lowered engagement from newer adventurers who we had hoped to protect with this mechanic. We’ve also added two new artifact weapons, the Catice and Bloodthirst which introduces some spectacular new effects. Now that we have our main game modes set, we plan to focus on adding more content for the dungeons in the upcoming season. We thank you and see you in the dungeons!

Welcome to Early Access Season 6! This season we are excited to introduce the new PvE-only ‘Adventure mode’! Gather your friends and delve into the dungeons for an exciting co-op dungeon crawling experience! To add extra weight to adventuring and finding your own loot from the dungeons, we’ve closed the trade market for the first two weeks of this season. We’ve also added many new monsters, dungeon modules, and a full season of quests. Join us as we continue to work on making the dungeons more lived-in and interactive. We look forward to a fun-filled exciting season as we build towards the ultimate online fantasy simulator. Thank you and see you in the dungeons!

Certain bosses' (both LR and HR) HP pools were buffed:

*Warlord: +40% HP
*Lich: No change
*Wyvern: No change
*Cave Troll: +50% HP
*Cyclops: +10% HP
*Spectral Knight: No change
*Banshee: No change

<div style="margin-left:30px">[[Luck]] curves changed. The range of luck grades 4 through 8 have been reduced. The curves all follow the same pattern, but their magnitudes have been reduced.

Previously, tables that only contained luck grades 5-8 would see minimal change from luck, even at luck values currently impossible in-game.

===Developer Comments===
Hi Adventurers,
This update prepares for the start of the new adventure rank season. We have also decided to remove the Fog of War to enable players to make more high-level strategic decisions weighing the risks and rewards of POIs and extraction points. Although we enjoyed the feelings of exploration added by the Fog of War, the feature led to lowered engagement from newer adventurers who we had hoped to protect with this mechanic. We’ve also added two new artifact weapons, the Catice and Bloodthirst which introduces some spectacular new effects. Now that we have our main game modes set, we plan to focus on adding more content for the dungeons in the upcoming season. We thank you and see you in the dungeons!

=High-Roller Ranks and Adventure Points=
==Ranks==
Ranks are only for the High-Roller dungeons.
Dark and Darker currently has 7 rank categories with a total of 19 individual ranks that players can achieve.

The rank at the end of the season determines the rewards granted for the start of the next season, as well as a title and banner that can be used for the present season.

Each rank is not a checkpoint, meaning it is still possible to de-rank below your current rank.

==Adventure Points==
There are 9 different sources of Adventure Points (AP) to advance your rank in the High-Roller dungeons. Each entrance of the dungeon cost varying amounts of AP as seen above, even if you perish. Failing to extract from the dungeon will remove all AP gains, and still pay the AP ante.

[[File:Adventure_point_rewards2.png|link=|x500px]]

===Props Interaction===

<small>
* Interacting with [[Prop]]s grant AP only the first time they are interacted with, including by other players. This includes repeatable props such as [[ore]] nodes, [[Treasure Hoard]]s, and [[Shrine]]s.
* Props can exist in 5 variants: global, globin/ice cavern, crypts, ruins, inferno/ice abbys.
* Any cell with non empty value has variant defined in game files.
</small>

{{Template:Adventure Points Table}}

===High-End Props Interaction===

Same as Prop Interaction but only includes [[Containers|high grade "props"]], such as Marvelous Chest, Golden Chest, Lion's Head Chest, and Royal Coffin.

===Player Kill===
* Ranges from 9.9 to 188.1 AP per kill
* AP varies based on the number of divisions between you and the player.<pre style="width:fit-content"> AP = 14.85 * Divisions below target + 99 </pre>
* Divisions below target ranges from -6 to 6, as if you are 6 divisions above the target (Demigod killing a Neophyte), the value is -6.
<div style="margin-left:50px; padding:10px">[[File:Player_Kill_AP.png|x400px]]</div>

===Monster Kill===

See [[Monsters]] for each Monster's AP reward.

===Item Achieve===
*AP is rewarded for extracting with items that have the Looted tag. See [[Looted_Handled_Supplied| Looted, Handled, and Supplied]] for more information on these tags.
*Craftable items can now be looted as of [[Patch:6.4#Hotfix 46]] as killed player's gear are converted to Looted.
*AP rewarded is then multiplied by the quantity in the stack. This was not true in the past, where 1x Candy would have rewarded the same amount of AP as 10x Candy
** The quantity displayed in the end of game report is only counting the number of stacks of the item present, although the actual AP granted is correctly per-item, not per-stack. For example, with a stack of 2 [[Golden Skull Token]]s and a stack of 1, the quantity displayed will only be 2, but the AP granted will be 3 x 3 = 9 AP.
*AP is calculated on extraction
*All items give AP per slot they take up, but the general rules vary per category, albeit with many exceptions
** Weapons, Armor, and Accessories: <span class="colorrarity3">1</span> | <span class="colorrarity4">2</span> | <span class="colorrarity5">3</span> | <span class="colorrarity6">5</span> | <span class="colorrarity7">10</span>
** Utilities and Misc: <span class="colorrarity1">0.5</span> | <span class="colorrarity2">1</span> | <span class="colorrarity3">2</span> | <span class="colorrarity4">4</span> | <span class="colorrarity5">6</span> | <span class="colorrarity6">10</span> | <span class="colorrarity7">20</span>
*Exceptions that do not follow the previously mentioned criteria have their AP listed below (these do not need to be multiplied by slot size).
<div style="margin-left:70px; margin-top:15px">{{Pattern_Exceptions|ap}}</div>

===Treasure===
As of [[Patch:6.6#Hotfix 66]] there is no longer a Treasure Adventure Points ''category'', this section only exists for historical purposes. Note that AP is still granted for Treasure items, aka [[Misc]] items, the AP simply falls under [[Adventure_Rank#Item_Achieve|Item Achieve]] and follows the rule shown there.

The following example applied before Hotfix 66.
<blockquote>The quantity displayed in the end of game report is only counting the number of stacks of the item present, although the actual AP granted is correctly per-item, not per-stack. Using [[Golden Skull Token]] for example, with a stack of 2 and a separate stack of 1, the quantity displayed in the game-end report will only be 2, but the AP granted will be 3 x 21 = 63 AP.</blockquote>

===Dungeon Down===
*100 AP for taking a [[Dungeon#Portals|Down portal]]

===Assists===
Player, Monster, Sub-Boss, and Boss kills also have an Assist category. While in a group, all AP gained from these kills are split evenly among team members. For whoever got the kill, the AP goes to the Kill category, while for everyone else in the group -regardless of contribution- it goes under the Kill Assist category.

The AP is split for each individual kill, and then rounded down and granted to everyone else in the party as an Assist. The remaining AP is rewarded as a Kill to whomever landed the killing blow.

====Formula====

<pre style="width:fit-content;">Assist AP (per kill) = floor(AP / Party Size)</pre>

<pre style="width:fit-content;">Kill AP (per kill) = AP - (Party Size - 1) * Assist AP</pre>

====Example====
Party size of 3 after killing 2 normal Skeleton Axemen which reward 5 AP each.

<pre style="width:fit-content;">Assist AP (per kill) = floor(5/3) = 1 </pre>

<pre style="width:fit-content;">Kill AP (per kill) = 5 - (3-1) * 1 = 3 </pre>

Since there two kills, each assisting player receives 2 AP, and the player that got the killing blow receives 6 AP.
Note that this sums to 10 AP, from 5 AP per kill x 2 kills.

==Rewards==
Reaching a given rank will reward the individual character with that reward at the end of the season.

* Item rewards are claimed by the character, and granted to the character
* Cosmetic rewards are claimed by the character, but granted to the account

If the character that met the requirements is deleted before claiming the rewards at the end of the season, the rewards are permanently lost, even if they are account-wide cosmetics.
