CHANCE OF GETTING CHARCOAL INSTEAD (applies to all recipes): (Ryu LVL / 6) /64 CHANCE TO GET DOUBLE ITEMS: (floor(total size / result size) * (16 if result size = 1, 8 if 2, 4 if 4 or 8, 2 if 16 or 32)) / 64 [Gold Bricks have a value of "1", which is why they're guaranteed doubles with the above recipe) RECIPE COMPENDIUM (contains the "size" and "type" of all items, as well): http://pkhack.fobby.net/misc/txt/bof2_cooking.txt "PLOT POINTS" THUS FAR (Beretta upgrades her wares for every 8 plot points you get, up to a max of 24): 1. Breaking Nimufu's curse on Jean. 2. Recruiting Seso. 3. Acquire the dragon powers from the old man behind the waterfall. 4. Recruiting three residents and expanding Township. HANS SHOP RECOMMENDATION: x7 Iron Braces (empty inventory slot for Ryu) x2 Dream Jewels (For the "dragon shotgun" trick with Ryu & Rand) x4 Cond.Ups/Turbocharges (in case your Condition rolls around back to what it was) THE EMPTY SLOT INITIATIVE GLITCH: The FastShoe/Speed Shoes were supposed to set your preemptive attack rate to 25%, when equipped to your 1st Slot character... But the programmers accidentally used LDA $40 instead of LDA #$40. In programming language, that's the difference between asking for Address $40 (for whatever value is stored in there), and asking for byte 40 (which represents the actual item). And at Address $40 is... a blank space. 00. Hence, "00" is what the looks looks for. If you have one blank space in the 1st Slot's accessory spaces, you've got the 25% pre-emptive. THE INTENDED PRE-EMPTIVE RATE FOR PARTIES WITH NO SPEED SHOES: It was primarily based off the same timer that governed run chances & party condition. ($5010; the one that advances every 8 minutes). Add these values to the party's Average Luck... 0: 32 1: 32 2: 96 3: 96 4: 160 5: 224 6: 160 7: 96 ...then adjust by one of four multipliers... -20% (17/32 chance) +10% (7/32 chance) +30% (5/32 chance) +50% (3/32 chance) These numbers are added to your average party Luck, then adjusted by 1 of 4 multipliers (Note that the result caps at 255). Then look at the following tables for your final pre-emptive chance: Ill: never 0-63: (2+N)/64 64-127: (2+N)/64 128-191: (4+N)/64 192-255: (8+N)/64 ...Fortunately, this is all rendered moot by the above glitch.
