| Author | fsp gain from sphynx depends on ... ? |
|---|
Sphynx 2009 (combat level 9 (i think), reached level 10
on dec 28)
8 out of 9 questions correct
3.132 gold | 19.140 experience | 17.40 fsp
Sphynx 2010 (combat level 12)
9 out of 9 questions correct.
6.000 gold | 70.000 experience | 13.00 fsp
So I have one question MORE correct, I am THREE combat levels higher and still i received 4.4 fsp LESS
( i can show you proof of both result screens if needed )
So does anyone have a clue what the other variables might be? |
| I don't think they used the same formula for both years. There were probably some adjustments on the second year. I wouldn't draw any pattern from it. |
| Well the untrained eye might suggest admins tweaked the formulas in between your first and second result as this obviously does not apply a common ratio. Admins don't want you having too much free fsp. |
| Possibly the time taken to complete the challenge? |
Cant remember the exact amount I got in 2009 event but do remember it was a lot more (30% - 40%ish) more than the other players my level in clan chat over the event period.
Cant explain why but other factors obviously were involved due to the range of amounts given. |
At first I thought maybe it did also depend on current faction level.
But in 2009 i played as a demon and my faction level was really low (maybe 2 or 3)
And then thought maybe its total combats, but that was in 2010 obviously higher than in 2009 ...
Then lastly i thought about time takes to answer the questions... that might be a factor, but unlikely.... 2 minutes and 16 seconds in 2010 |
| If we get again this year I can log down main factors and send results to you if you are willing to collect them and look for any pattern if others will do also? |
Yes thanks, that would help a lot :)
In the meanwhile, do some card games, you ll never know what questions you will get haha |
This is what i could find (sphynx 2008, sorted by level and amount of answers correct. Double numbers mean two people)
3:
9/9 = 8 8
4:
8/9 = 8.70
6:
6/9 = 9.xx
7/9 = 14.3 11.34
7:
6/9 = 8
7/9 = 9
8/9 = 11
8:
4/9 = 5.6
5/9 = 6.66
7/9 = 14.7 15.8
8/9 = 11+ 16.xx
9/9 = 18 18 18 18
10:
9/9 = 22.00
So for sure combat level and correct answers have influence, but there has to be at least a third variable. Only thing i can think of is time taken to answer all 9. (if you take longer than xxx seconds, you get yyy less fsp) |
6.000 gold | 70.000 experience | 13.00 fsp New
3.132 gold | 19.140 experience | 17.40 fsp Old
If there was another matter (which is reasonable to exist), wouldn't you get less gold and experience as well ? On the other hand I see you get 3 times more XP and twice the gold, so I guess they just decreased the formula for fsp ... |
yes, could be. Or formulas for exp / gold are exponentially tied to combat level while fsp formula is linair (or less exponential).
But if you look at post #9;
they are all from the sphynx of 2008. And even people that have the same combat level and the same amount of questions correct, they still get different fsp.
e.g. lev8 with 7/9 correct. One had 14.7 the other had 15.8 fsp
On what does it depend? |
| Yeap, I saw it, but I'm afraid I don't know that answer ... sorry ! |
