[Pre-BB] MapleStory Formula Compilation

Please let me know if this is incorrect

Even cleaner version, thanks Pepsi:

Code:

aMoneyAmountDbl = (double)anMoneyAmount;
        if ( aMoneyAmountDbl <= 1000 )
          ratio = (aMoneyAmountDbl * 0.82 + 28.0) / 5300;
        else
          ratio = aMoneyAmountDbl / (double)(aMoneyAmount + 5250);
        randNum = aRandom[nIdx++ % 7] % 10,000,000;
        mastery = (double)randNum / 20,000,000 + 0.5;
        SkillData = SKILLENTRY__GetLevelData(dword_6A7D5C, nSLV);
        aDamage = (signed __int64)((50 * SkillData->nX) * mastery * ratio);

So, assuming you dropped 10 mesos at level 1 ME:

ratio = (10 * 0.82 + 28) / 5300;
ratio = 0.0068301886792453

Next part is just mastery. We'll assume 0.5 for kicks.

Damage = ((50 * SkillData->nX) * 0.5 * 0.0068301886792453);
Damage = (int)((50 * 500) * 0.5 * 0.0068301886792453);
Damage = 85;

And max damage would be double this, assuming perfect results, so the damage range for 10 mesos at level 1 ME is 85 ~ 170


Now let's assume we drop 10 mesos at level 30 ME. The ratio variable would be the same. The only thing that would change here is the SkillData->nX value, which is 1000 at level 30:

Damage = (int)((50 * 1000) * 0.5 * 0.0068301886792453);
Damage = 170 ~ 341

-------------

Now let's test the 1000 vs. 1001 and see which is really better. Let's assume level 30 ME, and you drop 1 bag with 999 mesos.

ratio = (1000 * 0.82 + 28) / 5300
ratio = 0.16

Damage = ((50 * 1000) * 0.5 * 0.1598452830188679
Damage = 4000 ~ 8000

Now with 1001 mesos

ratio = 1001 / (1001 + 5250);
ratio = 0.1601343784994401

Damage = ((50 * 1000) * 0.5 * 0.1601343784994401
Damage = 4003 ~ 8006

So yeah, 1001 mesos is slightly better. But is it more efficient?

Graphing out this formula yields the following (note the following is MINIMUM damage/bag). Also note that this is ONLY CALCULATING ONE BAG OF MESOS.



So you get a lot of benefit from putting mesos up until around 5 - 6k, up until which you start losing mesos/damage ratio massively. But where is the best ratio? What is the most efficient mesos/damage ratio?
