calculating the specialization points factor
The specialization points factor depends on:
- Horse speciality.
- Total shows entered.
- Speciality trait.
- The player has the
The wand of horse improvement magic item. - The arena horse training.
In calculating the points the game will do the following:
- It counts how many shows the horse has entered in total (including the speciality added at the arena)
- It determines what is the speciality for the entered show.
- It verifies if the speciality trait matches the type of the entered show. The trait bonus is:
- 10% if the player is regular.
- 20% if the player has The wand of horse improvement magic item. This item also adds a 200% base, effectively helping the horses have a double speciality. Note that the purpose of the extra 100% is to allow a second discipline, a 200% speciality will not be better than a 100% speciality.
Example:
Horse #1029054 has:
- Trait Racing.
- 29887 Racing shows.
- 197879 English shows.
- 5120 Western shows.
- 186 Western shows.
The total amount of shows is: 29887 + 197879 + 5120 + 186 = 233072
The spec points will vary based on the type of the show entered:
- Racing show - The trait is Racing:
- When it does not have the wand:
(5 * 233072 [total]) + (29887 [racing entered] * (29887 [racing entered] + 23307 [the trait is 10% of the total] ) * 100 [base]) / (233072 [total] * 1.5) = 1165360 + (29887*53194*100) / 349608 = 1620100
- Note: Without the Racing trait, the numbers would have been 1165360 + 29887*29887*100/349608 = 1420855
- When the player has the wand.
(5 * 233072 [total]) + (29887 [racing entered] * (29887 [racing entered] + 46614 [the trait is 20% of the total] ) * 200 [base]) / (233072 [total] * 1.5) = 1165360 + (29887*76501*200) / 349608 = 2473330
- When it does not have the wand:
- English show
- When it does not have the wand:
(5 * 233072 [total]) + (197879 [english entered] * 197879 [english entered] * 100 [base]) / (233072 [total] * 1.5) = 1165360 + 197879*197879*100/349608 = 12365360
- Note: If the horse would have English trait, then the numbers would be: 1165360 + 197879*(197879 + 23307) * 100 / 349608 = 13684542 (a 10% increase)
- When it has the wand:
(5 * 233072 [total]) + (197879 [english entered] * 197879 [english entered] * 200 [base]) / (233072 [total] * 1.5) = 1165360 + 197879*197879*200/349608 = 23565361
- When it does not have the wand:
Notes:
- The above horse is better in English shows. Typically horses should specialize on the horse trait, for maximum results.
- The arena horse bonus applies to all the above numbers. They were calculated with 0% arena training. 100% arena training would double each of them.
