Result of the royal competition for heavy armor Matis

The Jury, composed of serae Zendae and ser Erminantius (1), considered a long time recipes of competitors in order to analyse their qualities and defects.

After a long deliberation, where recipes were compared from different angles, the jury has finally ranked them, although it was very difficult, seeing the various qualities of each recipes.

The ranking for the best big recipe is this one :

First : Ser Misugi
Second : Serae Ingfarah
Third : Ser Ventron

PS : The ranking for small recipe will comme soon
(1) prolonged absence of ser Smoker

Skyshot prit connaissance des réflexions du jury quant aux grandes recettes.
Trés surpris qu'il n'ai nul part été fait référence de l'importance du poids des armures lourdes, Skyshot s'en retourna en souriant ... décidément, les matis sont bien meilleurs à débattre de la façon de se protéger et fuir que de faire face et combattre l'ennemi comme un vrai guerrier Fyros.

Dear competitors, the contest is nearly finished, but I have a important information regarding the reward.

The Karae has concent to let you the possibility to choose your reward among those two prizes :

- Generic sylan materials from grade choice and quality 250, with as much quantity as detailed at the beginning of the contest.

OR

- a quantity ten times less, but excellent grade.

The kingdom thanks you for competiting.

La serae Luxee regardait l'annonce des récompenses affichée.
- 10 fois moindre.. dix fois moindre.. 300 choix pour le vainqueur..
Elle retournait les chiffres dans sa tête mais arrivait toujours à ..30! Même pas de quoi faire une jolie pièce de lourde...
Elle baissa la tête tristement, si cela montrait la magnificence et la générosité matisse, on allait encore rigoler sur son passage.. à moins que cela ne reflétasse la réalité de l'état des caisses du royaume... Elle s'éloigna discrètement.

Zenday was pleased that the queen accepted this modification, that certainly competitors would enjoy, green color excellent materials beeing normaly unfindable on the bark. Oh! we didn't offer much of them, but, a good craftsman knows that to give a precise color to a armor, you only this color to be majority - and even sometimes only equal to others - in the global composition. It would be a brazen waste only to *imagine* doing a armor only with those generic materials. But no worries to have, with present competitors, mats would be in experts' hands.

Serae Luxee était loin d'imaginer toutes les possibilités qu'offrait l'écorce mais il y avait bien longtemps qu'elle savait sortir la couleur qu'elle voulait et l'ordre de prédominance de celles ci. Atysoel restait bien plus généreux que le royaume.. que cela vienne d'un rite païen n'aurait pas du la faire sourire..
Elle haussa les épaules. Que lui importait au fond...

Ps zendae, j'aurais pu compter en parpaings, mais cela aurait été moins évident pour comparer la quantité que cela représentait^^ on sait très bien toutes les 2 que les génériques donnent des stats équivalentes partout, et que l'on recherche bien plus à avoir quelques caractéristiques bien précises à 100% plutôt que tout à même hauteur.

Concernant la récompense offerte, je souhaiterai des matières de grade excellent merci :)

Je prendrai les choix:D

Your queries are heared, craftsmen, We'll summaries them later.

Very soon the analysis of small recipes !

We already know Misugi's recipe, "small" version uses the same choices than its elder sister. Same materials but it lower quantity.

Placio on his side, is someone who dares making propositions. Those are his explanations :



Placio's reasoning is interesting. Obviously the recipe will ask for more materials, we'll see to what extend.
Aside from +3 parry, as Ingfarah's recipe we have +0 dodge, a fair resistance to slashing, and a piece which is pretty light -which will pleased some.

But ? isn't protection factor a bit low ? Placio's reasoning is right but start from the postulate that kitins strike far over 1100. off, as we said before, at S.K.A. (Sanekinion ten Kitina Aremei) we've ranked great kitins according to strength of their strike in - for the moment - 3 families :

- Class G (Great) : 1012 damage : Kincher, Kipucka, Kidinak, Kizoar.
- Class GS (soldier) : 1435 damage : Kirosta, Kinrey
- Class GE (extra) : various damage : Kipesta, Kiban, Kipee

This is each armors absorption against class G and GS :

r.misu || G : 1012x0.582 = 589 , GS : 1435x0.582 = 835 (threshold at 634) => 634
r.plac || G : 1012x0.513 = 519 , GS : 1435x0.513 = 736 (threshold at 643) => 643

Placio's recipe absorbs 70 points less against a kincher, 9 points more on a kirosta.

But do not forget parry ! will the extra bonus on Placio's recipe compensates protection factor deficits ? In any case it is obvious it will increase advantage against GS class.

To evaluate +6 gain that would features a complete armor from Placio's recipe in comparison to Misugi's one, we started from this document exhumed from relics of Wakwai monastary. Indeed they were Umaenai but in their time they were famous for the quality of their publications.

This grafitic shows how changes parry (or dodge) chances according to level difference between attacker and defender.



That come out from this document with a bit of Matemati, is that for a kitin in same levels than a mere fighter, 2 more parry points give 1% extra chance to avoid the hit.

So a complete armor from Placio's recipe would gives 3% (+6pt) chance of parry over a armor from Misugi.

Now in order to visualize the effect of all this, let's start the theorical test of "100 kitins' claws hits". S.K.A studies are still young but this would represent hits received within 2 minutes against 3 or 4 kitins. The array shows also the number of heals level 200 amplified at 100% (1390hp) neccessary to cover the wounds.



this is a indicative average, supposing we encounter as many class G as class GS





Let's have a look now on recipes composition, to evaluate feasibility

harvested supreme
r.misu : 8, r.plac : 8
looted excellent :
r.misu : 6, r.plac : 10
harvested excellent :
r.misu : 4, r.plac : 6

r.misu : sadichi/weebil, vispa, wikkah
r.plac : cetra, naka/lector, wikkah

Cetra is a big kipee form 250 primes root but easy to hunt because its walk-around is limited and close to teleport altars.
Placio's recipe asks for more materials but not the most uncommon.

As in former match it is on supreme repartition that we have a difference
r.misu : 8 surpreme materials of 5 different kind, of maxiumum quantity 2 each.
r.plac : 8 surpreme materials of 3 different kind, whose 6 moon resins.

For a same use, Placio's recipe would last 17.2% extra time. If Misugi's armor would last 12 seasons, it would be 14 for Placio's.
However the same phenomenon will occurs than Misugi/Ingfarah match if we compare the number of armor potentialy produced per season. The repartition proposed by Misugi is still to our eyes the best guarantee on feasibility.

Thank you, congratulations to you Placio :)
And congratulations to all!
Thank you to the organizers!

Another detailed report very interesting reading.
I imagine that the final decision had to be hard to take, both large as small recipe.
I will not miss the appointment with the Karae.

Deux lucios en souvenir de la soirée "récompenses".
Merci encore aux organisateurs !
