for sure. considering jhereg files, 1 point of eff is 1/100th of 7% (linear progress from 0 to 100 eff)
atm top eff wep is the TWEN A-3 rifle with 95% that is supposed to give according to Jhereg tables) 6.65% boost in TT return)
a 1.0 item 62% eff (amped) boosts 4.34%
so the difference from a "lr-35" and an "Twen a-3" is (according to those tables) 2.31% that i consider MOST wide difference for tt return on an item.
let's see UTILITY VALUE OF A MAYHEM ITEM compared to a Mod Nano (ACCORDING TO Jhereg tables)
Name | Amplifier name | Dmg/PEC | Dmg/sec | Eff | eff effect | 10.000.000 | vs BIS |
Mayhem Nano-Blade, Modified | Mayhem Trauma Amplifier 5 | 3.700 | 141.4325 | 86,5 | 6,06% | 605.500 | - |
Mayhem Nano-Blade | Mayhem Trauma Amplifier 5 | 3.429 | 128.5750 | 66,5 | 4,66% | 465.500 | - 140.000 |
A&P Series Mayhem BP-110, Improved | Fi/Ra/Co Evil, Modified | 3.594 | 111.8487 | 79,5 | 5,57% | 556.500 | - 49.000 |
A&P Series Mayhem BP-130 | Fi/Ra/Co Evil, Modified | 3.608 | 120.2767 | 65,5 | 4,59% | 458.500 | - 147.000 |
A&P Series Mayhem LP-100, Modified (L) | Omegaton A204 Hypercharged | 3.514 | 107.5860 | 84 | 5,88% | 588.000 | - 17.500 |
A&P Series Mayhem LP-120 | Omegaton A204 Hypercharged | 3.555 | 106.1612 | 65 | 4,55% | 455.000 | - 150.500 |
on a CYCLE of 10.000.000 ped (yuou decide how long it takes to you to obtain that)
these are the SUPPOSED better returns ......
let's examine evidence of actual trades:
first point is... a lp110 is AS GOOD AS A MOD NANO, fractional difference, but allows a smaller cycle
second point is
Lp120 traded at 85.000 ped
bp 130 traded at 100.000 ped
bp 110 is offered in the 175.000 ped
it is a simple matrix to see what is price to get a mod nano.
correct pricing (for someone that consider correct jhereg tables and presume to shot 10m ped ammo)
lp 120 +150.500
bp130+147.000
bp110 + 49.000
so a mod nan o is "priced with indifference" as 235.500 247.000 224.000 AS A FUNCTION OF ITS UTILITY vs other traded items for 10m cycle with above costrains
this is hte EFF Hype that i refer to.. it poses 2 costrains:
1. a total faith on Jhereg data (seller marketing arguments are by definition meaningless, they of course want more than they can off the sale)
2. a total faith to the almighty algorithm
as a final word i think that there are interactions between eff and llooter so that the effective impact of eff is smaller for high looter level but this is unconfirmed YET by a field test.
i hope that this is the reply you looked for.
(of course in a 20m ped cycle those emounts double up......)
