How to change the number of summons?

Post by Ensley03 » Fri Jan 15, 2016 9:53 pm

For example, change how many skeletons you summon with raise skeleton; the maximum at level 20 and how it increments from level 1

Thanks for help!

Open skills.txt, find row 72 (raise skeleton skill) and column petmax. There is a formula which defines how many skeletons you can summons. Check the formula guide to understand how it works.

Thank you, that is just super complicated, lol. What would be the formula for having 1 summon at level 1, and then +1 summon every 4 pts, hard points and soft points? I guess you just use "lvl" and not "blvl" to include soft points right?

I'm really sure since I'm not a pro either. Maybe someone will else will help you. Or you can try and figure it out yourself. Cheers!

So if you want the following summon progression: 1 at lvl1, 2 at lvl5, 3 at lvl9, etc

formula = 1 + (lvl-1)/4 (soft and hard points)
formula = 1 + (blvl-1)/4 (hard points only)

So if you want the following summon progression: 1 at lvl1, 2 at lvl4, 3 at lvl8, etc

formula = 1 + lvl/4 (soft and hard points)
formula = 1 + blvl/4 (hard points only)
