RECHARGE COSTS
Staffs can be fully recharged at Adria The cost to recharge a staff can be calculated using the formula below:
RcC = FRcC · (1 - CurCha/MaxCha)
|
RcC
|
=
|
Recharge Cost
|
|
FRcC
|
=
|
Full Recharge Cost (see below)
|
|
MaxDur
|
=
|
Maximum charges on item
|
|
CurDur
|
=
|
Current charges on item
|
The Full Recharge Cost in the formula above can be calculated with:
FRcC = 0.50 · (I + 5·P) if unique or starting staff of the Sorcerer
FRcC = 0.50 · (I + H·P + 5·P) if not unique and not starting staff of the Sorcerer
|
FRcC
|
=
|
Full Recharge Cost
|
|
I
|
=
|
Cost of base item (always a staff).
|
|
H
|
=
|
Number of charges on staff.
|
|
P
|
=
|
The spell multiplier.
|
On plentiful and bountiful staves, one should take the base amount of charges. That is divide the number of charges shown by 2 for plentiful and 3 for bountiful staves.
As the recharge cost is not influenced by the prefix of the staff, there is no difference to the recharge cost between an identified and an unidentified staff.
If a Sorcerer uses his recharge skill on a staff, one should still use the initial number of charges in the formula.
If the recharge cost is less than 1 gold (can happen if the ratio CurDur/MaxDur is less than 1%), Adria will actually recharge the staff for free, that is 0 gold.
Just as with the price of magical items, when counting the value of CurCha/MaxCha you take into account only two digits after the decimal. Alternatively one can use the formula below in which case the rounding is done automatically:
RcC = [ [ { [ (100·(MaxCha - CurCha)) / MaxCha ] · (I + H·P + 5·P) } / 100 ] / 2 ]
Of course, for unique staves and the starting staff of the Sorcerer, skip H·P in the formula above. |
