Star Levels for Equipment (Odds and Benefit)

[AllDayXL]

My predictions based on exponential regression, excluding star levels 1, 2, and 3:

Star Level 12: 13.01
Star Level 13: 17.47
Star Level 14: 23.45
Star Level 15: 31.48

The exponential model had an error level of 0.014207246380181893 when excluding star levels 1-3. Rounded to the hundredths place, the model fit all of the star levels from 4-15.

Cheers!

Guess Evony doesnt like the math model that makes sense ....look at the updated chart

I'm pretty convinced that star bonuses have no effect at the moment. Why? Mostly as in all our calculations they have no effect, but if you ignore them you get perfectly accurate answers. The formula that I've confirmed are

construction time modifier = 0.9986 ^ pol
research time modifier = 0.9986 ^ int
train time modifier = 0.9986 ^ att
hero production boost = pol / 100


In each case the stat is modified by base armour but not by star upgrades. And of course when viewing heroes in Statistics stars are ignored. The only one we don't know is attack, as no-one's come up with a formula for that, but I can't see how the stars only apply to attack for three reasons:

First when upgrading stars it says the higher the star level "the more powerful the item will be" and "the items attribute will be increased by...". Nothing about it only applying to attack.

Second if you view any hero's armour you will see for e.g. a politics hero "+8.29 politics", i.e. it's counting the star bonus, but none of the effects of politics are boosted. The same for intelligence. Intelligence may have some attack effect but politics certainly doesn't.

Third anywhere I've read it, like here:
http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=115134
It suggests the stars upgrade all stats ("Gear can be upgraded using Gems and any gear that is upgraded can be applied to ALL your heroes", i.e. politics ones too).

The game obviously stores and calculates the star bonuses, but it seems not to be applying them as described in the game and in the forums, and right now it's just a curious mini-game with no relation to the game. Hopefully it's something they've simply overlooked and can quickly turn on.

Star are totally bugged right now and do exactly nothing...

It is easy to verify too.

Take a mayor, compute what pol he has without the star bonus.
Check what production bonus he gets, it matches...

Heck star bonus isn't factored either when showing hero rankings.
Take any hero, the stats you see in hero ranking do not include star bonuses and reflect the real stats of your hero......

Considering that they sell gems for real money. If this is true...they need to fix this or change the disc of star levels..

I usually upgrade my gears to 3 stars since less or over annoys the living s**t outta me. When i go to feasting hall its so annoying to see hero with like 150,98883337 attack...

Read the thread.. Star Bonus is supposed to give you higher attributes but really does not do anything at all..

Just say no!

[tieungu14]

anyone else or mod can proved this wrong?
It seem that a bugged in stars is too big a problem to not be fix right away...

I'm pretty confident of what I say.

Here is one of the test I did.

mayor with 172 pol shown in statistic page, 202.5 pol in hero sheet/feasting hall.

Production was increased by 172%, not 202.5%...

Then I double checked and 172 pol was his stats if I discounted every star bonus.

Did similar tests on research time.

Didn't do any attack test but the results we see from NPC12 hits are more consistent with 400 attack hero than 500+ attack if you included gear..
