Useful Ores (Aquamarine / Emerald)

[Dame]

Advanced Aquamarine gems adds:
Jump +10

-> I suggest this be changed to:
Magic Defence +1,000

---

Advanced Emerald gems adds:
MaxMP +500

-> I suggest this be changed to:
Weapon Defence +1,000

---

Basic +500(?)
Intermediate +750(?)

---

At maximum these gems could add +10,000 of a single Defence type across all 10 craftable equipments.

That works out to be -5,000 less damage taken of a single variety (weapon or magic) if someone added this gem to every craftable.

This would achieve:

• Make the two unused ores types into valuable choices when crafting.

• Open up new popular locations for players to commit mass murder in.

• Adds to the existing ore market to get more meso changing hands.

• Offer an alternative to HP Washing for those who dislike that system.

Definitely all for updating the stats for these, however the defense stats you proposed seem a little nutty, unless I'm missing something from my test:

If I'm hit by HT's body with WDEF 3, I'll take around 11K damage
If I'm hit by HT's body with WDEF 5000, I'll take 1 damage

Likely the same with MDEF, so either we remove a zero from those values you propose, or we have some other logic to explain why 10K in defense isn't broken, ya know?

Oh interesting!

I was under the impression that Defence ÷ 2 was the way to calculate.
(5000 Def = 2,500 less Physical Damage taken)

If that's not the case, I'm completely lost on how to determine the values

Perhaps I'm thinking of immediately post-BB.

EDIT:​

Weapon Defense - credit to AGF/Stereo
MAX damage = (MAX before defense) * (1 - 0.01*D) - WDEF*.5
MIN damage = (MIN before defense) * (1 - 0.01*D) - WDEF*.6

Magic Defense - credit to Russt/Paracelsus
MAX damage = (MAX before defense) - MDEF*.5 * (1 + 0.01*D)
MIN damage = (MIN before defense) - MDEF*.6 * (1 + 0.01*D)

where D is (monster level - player level) if (monster level) > (player level), and 0 otherwise.
