[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	Working on the formula that determines what your character's burden percentage is, given two variables, buffed strength and total burden of all items carried. If anyone has this please let me know, thanks. -----signature----- Chazcon - Aluvian swordsman You say, "FOR THE VITAE!" Ru tells you, "CHAZ!"

	The only part of it I know is each point of str is worth 150 burden units. -----signature----- Edits are for spelling :^) Trophy Compendium http://vnboards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=90389010 /a Devil's Saint says, "what we teach our Children we become" June 3, 2008

	Thanks, I'll test that. So you are saying, that if you have 600 BU and buffed strength of 4 you would have 0 % burden? -----signature----- Chazcon - Aluvian swordsman You say, "FOR THE VITAE!" Ru tells you, "CHAZ!" Simply Red tells you, "I am SO not recovering your body!" -- Good times.

	I think 150bu is right for each point of strength. But that varies if you have any Might of the Seventh Mule augmentations, +20% for each so: 150 180 210 240 270 300 -----signature-----

	Has anyone got that augmentation? How's it workin' out for ya? One of those would be good for a few thousand extra BU, but it just seems like a convenience thing... -----signature----- WoW - Dawnbringer - Horde - Chef Tofi (BE Tankdin) - Tofino (Orc Hunter) - Tofidots (BE Lock)

	I took that as my first Aug on my 10 str mage. Even though I always have my main pack 100% empty, plus 1/2 a side pack empty (I'm not a pack rat, nothing on my chars but what I'll need), if I had 1500 tapers, I was 91% burdened, which meant looting much was out of the question. Since I'm not at all rich in game, and must loot and sell to cover my comps, I decided on that as my first Aug. My mage went from 91% to 65% with the one aug. I don't plan on doing it again, but it sure is nice to be able to carry 2000 tapers AND still be able to loot plenty! -----signature----- Ling Mei - Veteran Swordswoman Lingie - Abu's Health-Addicted Support Mage Directionally Impaired in AC since 1999 The sun itself sees not 'till heaven clears.

	I have a 10 strength mage, and also a 10 strength 3-school Xbow, and fighting to keep burden 'in the green' is a constant struggle. My main is sword, and HE does the heavy looting & etc. I've always had to be very selective about what I picked up on my 'lighweights'. But they are really secondary characters, in that I play them more for variety and to experience playing other character types. I can see how it would be a rough road if either of them was my only character. -----signature----- Chazcon - Aluvian swordsman You say, "FOR THE VITAE!" Ru tells you, "CHAZ!"

	From what I know 150 is correct, but for staying at 100%. Meaning if you have 10 Str, you can carry 1500 BU and be at 100%. Its 450 per for your max bu (300%) for say a mule. -----signature----- Zegeger - HG - 246 - Axe AgentZ - http://decal.zegeger.net "Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy." - Edgar Bergen "Imagination is more important then knowledge." - Albert Einstein

	A character can hold 150 BU per point of Strength. So to figure out your 100% burden level multiply your Strength by 150. This formula is linear so it is true for any Strength level. 100% Burden = Strength * 150 200% Burden = Strength * 150 * 2 300% (Max) Burden = Strength * 150 * 3 -----signature-----
