Testing

I have been using these for a little over a week now, i have seen anywhere from an 18%-20% increase in damage when using them. Please if you have any parse data or other test data, post it so we can get the info. --Aryden 17:28, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

"# Ranged Attack +15~25??%

1. Ranged Accuracy +10~25??% "

I cant see this as being anywhere near correct. I have used Coeurl subs for a long time, and in testing these vs other Rng's and on my own, the subs give more damage output, roughly about 2-3% from the testing i have done. I cannot say what the ranged accuracy bonus is, but generally they mirror an accuracy bonus or attack bonus. --Aryden 17:28, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

the bonus could be correct actually. it may just have a lower cap than subs.--Littledarc 00:25, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

very true, Se really needs to give us the ability to see our ranged attack #'s all the other melee do. --Aryden 19:41, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

um....you need to take your filters off. you can see your ranged attack just like melee. --Littledarc 07:23, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

um.. ranged attack value as in the number you see on your equipment sheet, not the damage you do to a mob. c'mon be smarter than that. --Aryden 16:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

At lv42, against beetles in the dessert, rice dumplings and pot-au-feu gave me very identical numbers per hit. I spent 30 minutes with each and was the same level each time. Rice Dumplings are 20% attack bonus and pot-au-feu did NOT do more damage. At the same time, I've tested it vs Dhalmel Pies and Dhalmel always does more per hit.

Dhalmel Pies = 25% bonus / Rice Dumplings = 20% bonus Pot-au-feu = less than 25%, close to 20%, I'd say about 20% based on the testing so far.

And before someone brings up the cap issue, I am not passed the cap on Dhalmel Pies at my current level with my gear. My R. Attack is not 180+ yet so Dhalmel Pies have not capped out. As I keep leveling up and testing, I'll give more results. KonigBerserk 03:56, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

At 40, youre base ranged attack, with just your skill level, approximate base str (not including +str gear and food) you should be around 148 ish base ranged attack, so once you include your +str, any songs/rolls, and any ratt gear you may have, you should easily be hitting the 180 ratt cap, you only need abour +32 ratt. you can calculate your ranged attack as follows:

{( 8 + Combat Skill + STR/2 + (+attack from gear) + (+attack trait/ability/minuet)) * berserk effect (if available)} * (1+ percentage increase from food )

in your case, using a hume stats, and ninja sub (most average), assuming battle bow +1, ranger necklace, and assuming approximately +15 str {(8 + 123 + 24 +20 ) = 175 so if you have even 1 piece of gear with +5 ratt, or 10 more str than what i guessed, or any merits at all in archery, youre at the cap for pies.--Aryden 15:56, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I calculated my Attack and the food only counts the attack before itself, so with my gear, I had about 165 base r. attack. I had no brd either. So I was not quite at the cap. And +15 STR is quite high for that level as a RNG, I only have +3 str without food. So I was below the cap so the pies did not give me a full increase but they definitely did more damage.
