Forging Helm's Gauntlents (in General)

I am in the process of forging up my Helms and I was wondering if anyone has played with the forging formula for these gloves????

It seems to me that the formula is not quite right to me... I am just over 200,000 mpr and I am not getting good increases per cycle while forging them.

Some items naturally have low forging efficiency. And 200k MPR is way too low to start forging without a NUB.

granted that some items might have a very low rate, but what I was asking was if someone might have played with the formula for the Helms to see if their is a better formula for it...

Plus I am just forging for myself... You might think that it is a little low, but if you could prove to me that waiting untill lets say 300 or 400k mpr will make that much difference, then I might wait a little bit longer to forge them up more... I am just trying to make so I last a bit longer against mages in the first few rounds.

I heard somewhere if you double your MPR forging efficiency goes up by 40%.

I though 4x mpr was 2x forge efficiency...or maybe thats 4x str is 2x damage XD

just prior to the BA regen change I established the following:

(copied from a previous forum post)
For a couple of examples:
a 1mil MPR char is a 48% better forger than a 100k MPR char
a 2mil MPR char is only 12.4% better than a 1mil MPR char
a 2mil char is in fact only 26.4% better than 500k MPR

(this was in reference to NW generated per BA)

While the numbers may have changed a little I have no reason to believe that the overall trend is different.

also what NW increase are you forging atm?

If you're forging 1 mil NW now, then it's only natural that it doesn't go up lots in rpm... ;)

to anwser shade, the helms are at +9 272k networth... I would not expect that to have a rpm increase of about 5 points per round... that is why I WAS ASKING IF ANYONE HAS PLAYED WITH THE FORMULA TO SEE IF THEY HAVE FOUND A BETTER SWEET SPOT FOR FORGING THEM!!! Which no one has anwsered as of yet.

Shade... this is the change after 1 cycle using the formula in the help.

Rough progress meter: 2.555%

Rough progress meter: 5.344%


I would have expected the results to be at least double or triple for forging the Helm's for my mpr. I just got done doing a combat GI.. and I was still getting an increase of over 20 points and that has a current nw of over 500k

Nope the current formula in wiki is the best by far.

PR / MPR: 1,098,313 / 778,290

I have been forging my from +9 and it is low for me.

So 5 looks great from here.

Looks like I have to get my mpr up also.

The GI's are alot easier up to around 48.

Thanatos

I may have misunderstood you.
Are you Saying like 5 points for the 160 BA
If that is what you are saying we in the same boat.
Seems slow.

Thantos... that was just for one cycle through the forge... not for the entire 160...

ok... so henk thinks that the wiki formula is the best... so I will go from there... thanks

you could choose to tweak it and show us your findings... but i doubt wiki is wrong :)
