Question: Plates Eco

[Executor]

I am trying to figure how much the Durability is a significant factor on a unlimited Plate.

There was some months ago a very good thread about new decay formula and its been reported here in Entropedia.

So I use the formula:
Decay = (0.003 x dmg^1.75 + 0.05 x dmg) x (1 - Durability/100000)

And I want to calculate with 100 HP, not one Damage of 100 HP, but 100 Damages of 1 HP, it is pure theorical figues, just to have an idea of the cost.
=> And I find very similar values, from 5.1357 PED (5A: 3100 Durability) to 5.2788 (1A = 400 Durability).

So 1A (the less eco) is about 103% expensive of 5A (the most eco)?
Am I right?

(Aslo I know that there are other factors like minimum decay etc and of course have the right gear for the right mob...)

Nobody answered me so I searched again.

And I found that my assumption was correct since Entropedia says here: "For unlimited armors, an extra 1000 durability decreases your decay by 1% (for the same damage absorbed)."

I thank me and +rep myself.

Didn't know that + rep

You can't really do this test fairly with 1hp damage because armour has a minimum decay of total protection / 100

So a 1hp hit on 1a will do 6/100 = 0.06pec decay

On 5a it will do 11/100 = 0.11pec decay

There is a decay calculator on http://www.entropedia.info/Chart.aspx?chart=Armor in the "settings" section.

Yes (thank you) but sometimes I prefer to have my own Excel files with all formulas, it loads faster than the website...

Yes, yes :

Well, finally I concluded that I keep my 3A, the 2A are a bit less eco.
