Talk:Crysknife
Does a crysknife revert if I put it in a bag in my inventory? --66.23.133.55 18:13, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes. Updated the article appropriately. --Kalon 02:53, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Throwing
For starters, I've never actually thrown one, heck, even _made_ one. I was just going by the 10% figure in the article, so if that's screwy, the table is inherently and irrevocably false. I have two simple formulas, but more complicated than most deal with. One takes the given odds, and given confidence, and outputs the number of trials for that confidence. The other relates the number of trials and odds to overall confidence. The former I used for this table.
That's well and good, but I was doing something a little screwy I wasn't 100% comfortable with. I used the formula to find the chance that none would poof, inverted it, and assumed 50% = general case. I'm gonna do a random simulation soon to ensure these figures are accurate.
If the simulation agrees with me I'll do a write up here to explain it. If it contradicts me I'm obviously gonna nerf the section until I find the right formula. This is pretty easy to do, it's just boring. Feagradze 17:12, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone would ever actually throw crysknives, for one simple reason: neither worm teeth nor crysknives stack. Therefore, you'd be spending 2 scrolls of enchant weapon to make every single fixed crysknife. Not only that, but you wouldn't be able to get a multishot bonus with them either. Thus, the scrolls would be much better spent making highly enchanted regular knives or daggers, which don't vanish and can have multishot bonuses. Personally, I'd remove the section, since it's just so unlikely to happen in a normal game. -Ion frigate 17:54, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
