Hi,
I've made a tool to calculate the best way to chip-in, to reach a certain pro-standing level.
For instance, you are at level 42 in Laser Sniper, and you want to unlock Combat Sense (level 50). The question is: what do I have to chip and how much, from all the involved skills in that profession?
There are 3 factors to balance:
- At high skill levels, inserting a new chip has much lower effect than at low skills levels
- Certain skill contribute more than others to the pro-standing
- The price of certain skills is much higher than others.
So, this tool tells you (hopefully) the cheapest path to reach your target, considering all the factors above.
Give it a try at:
http://jdegre.net/pe/unlocker.php
It works with latest browsers, but probably not with older ones since it uses a lot of javascript and ajax-style interface.
Take into consideration that the calculations rely heavily on the function that maps skill-levels to chip-tt-value, and this function is quite unknown for high skill levels.
Also, the chip prices are taken from peauction, so take it with a grain of salt when it comes to actually finding all the chips required in auctions at that price.
All feedback is appreciated.
Edit: Latest features introduced:
- You can auto-fill your skills if you have them uploaded to PE-wiki
- You can calculate HP-chipping as well; it works the same as any other profession
- The recommended chipping now displays the markup % from peauction and the cost of each individual chip
- You can calculate your total skills, and use it as any other profession, to know your cheapest way to go, for instance, from 70k to 120k total skills.
- You can enter a cost limit in all chipping recommendations, so it is possible to say "I want to increase my HP, and I have 10k ped, what's the best way to spend them and how far will I get with it"
