Has the value of the TT skillreward for Cornundacauda been lowered? (Phew, seems its not!)

Hi,

Some people have reported skillgain value to be around 30 ped. Lately two reported around 22 ped. Although some are different categories, there is one overlapping. The latest reports, indicate a reward around 22 ped, so it makes me wonder if the value of the skillgain has been lowered since last couple of VU's...

Rifle:

Anyone have some other reports of Cornundacauda?

(disclaimer: I use http://www.entropiawiki.com/SkillCalc.aspx to determine skillgains. At the lower skill levels this tool and Jdegre's tool report about the same. At the higher levels both tools seem to deviate from the real TT value gained and it seems Jdegre's tool seems to deviate more. I say seems because in this example TT value seem to be around 30 ped, but with Jdegre's tool and the assumption Bomo and Slupor are highly skilled deviates more).

I'm not entirely sure if we should trust claims of reward size that we cannot even try to verify, that is, without the from and to values given. Way too many ways to make a mistake. Never mind imprecision of the tools in some ranges.

Yep, could be an error, quite hard to verify if it is or not tho :dunno:
 
maybe it is also dynamic :silly2:
sorry i could not resist...

most logical answer would, that it has something to do with the tools we measure it? :scratch2:

Blue eyes asked for the absolute levels of rifle skills that I reached earlier. I'm not disclosing my absolute skill values so I did not respond to his question. I did use Jdegre's excellent tools to calculate the gain. Any (in)accuracy in my number is credit or blame to the Skill Scanner. And since I am one of the most frequent users of the tool, I daresay my number is reflecting the gains I received from completing the corn mission.

Which does not rule out that the gains were nerfed, MA has a long standing reputation to make modifications that never get into the VU change lists.

Thanks for response here Slupor.

It happens when people use Jdegre skillscanner they forget that it also shows the TT value when chipping out (so 10% of the amount that is lost when chipping out). I'm not saying this is the case here too, but merely saying it might be, altough when correcting by adding 10% it is still way of 30 ped.

I myself use http://www.entropiawiki.com/SkillCalc.aspx all the time.
Anyway, I hope to get more reports and really hope the skillgain is not nerfed. This is for now the only one we 'discovered'. Am curious about others... we have to wait and see.

Please people continue reporting your skillgains when finishing 10K mobs missions.

Same for me... but

I actually did use Jdegre's, and diden't take the -10% into acount, so that explains some of the difference.

Using Avatar Skill Calculator from entropedia im getting a different result.

Jdegre's : 22.10 ped

ASC : 28.55 ped

Apart from my mistake, it seems the tools also calculate quite different

Thanks, this definetely helps getting it closer to the 30 ped that is kinda expected.
The tools are known to have a bigger deviation at the higher skilllevels. Maybe you are quite skilled :)

Hi Slupor, I respect that you don't you want to disclose your skill levels.
Are you willing to use http://www.entropiawiki.com/SkillCalc.aspx and report the TT value back to us (or to me by PM if you like). It explained the difference Bono reported, perhaps it also does yours.

kind regards Michel
