Base to Buff Skills

I've also wondered at exactly what point does a mage begin to use the focusing stone, given its 121 difficulty. Well, now I know. These tables list the skill values that a mage can buff to in War, Life, Creature, Item, and untrained Arcane Lore. I've used several numbers as constants, listed below.

Constants	L5	L6	L7
	+34	+39	+47

My methodology: I list Base Focus, off which an Arcane Lore reading is determined. There is no +5 skill training bonus, just straight-up Focus / 3. I then add in various buffs.

Base Focus	Arcane (not trained)	With Focus 6	With Arcane 6	With Brilliance	With Focus 6	With Arcane 6	With Focusing Stone	With Focus 7	With Arcane 7
100	33	46	85	50	63	102	42	57	104
110	37	50	89	53	66	105	45	61	108
120	40	53	92	57	70	109	48	64	111
130	43	56	95	60	73	112	52	67	114
140	47	60	99	63	76	115	55	71	118
150	50	63	102	67	80	119	58	74	121
160	53	66	105	70	83	122	62	77	124
170	57	70	109	73	86	125	65	81	128
180	60	73	112	77	90	129	68	84	131

300	100	113	152	117	130	169	108	124	171

For War, Creature, and Item, the Thau and Exarch Plate values are the highest that can be acheived. For Life, the "With Skill Mastery 7" values are the highest that can be achieved.

Thread Disscussions :

I have base war / life of 300 and am only hitting 372 or 373 buffed with lvl VIIs and a focus stone. Maybe the econ is different on WE?

-Akkah

PS Or did I misunderstand your post?

I found those number generous as well

Down to +72 on total focus 7 + will 7 + life 7 + focus stone bonuses, on TD.

Moria, Gimp Archmage of Thistledown

Agreed

I am also on WE, and at 305 base war/life I was hitting 377.

Of course, in the past month or so I have spent about a hundred mill 'treading water' as it were. The economy has been dropping dramatically, and I can barely stay in place with normal play. Kinda frustrating, even though we all know that the economy is a bonus. When your next point of focus/self/war/life will cost you nearly 8 mill, you'd like it to actually raise your skill.

Yeah, my spell economy numbers are generous.

I did this in Excel, with the numbers all linked up, so I can change the figure downward if need be.

What do you think a more reasonable figure would be?
