Dragon bonuses are not accurately represented.

I've noticed that some notes and stats are inaccurate, the one I'm particularly going to focus on at the moment is the marian amulet exchange speed bonus for the dragon.

It is max level, and says that it speeds up amulet exchange speed by 60%. However, upon even looking at the numbers without doing any math, I've noticed that this is far off from the truth, as 60% reduced from 1 hour does not equal 37.5 minutes. Upon doing the math for this, it is actually only enhancing the exchange speed by 37.5%. This is a huge mistake.

Upon discovering this, it makes me want to check the stats represented in the game wherever they are presented, just to see how accurate they really are.

I hope you resolve this issue.

Hi! Speed bonuses work a bit different actually. Let's imagine that you're driving a car. Your final destination is in 50 km from your start point. You're going to reach it in 6 hours. 


It is necessary to start from the base speed. You have 50 km (this is 100% of the distance) and 6 hours (100% of the time). 


So, you have your base speed of 50/6 = 8.33 km / h. If your base speed increases by 50%, then now the speed is 8.33 * 1.5 = 12.495 km / h. This also means that now you can pass 150% of the distance in 100% of the time, and from these calculations you can count a new speed. 


Now you will pass 100% of the distance in 66% of the time. It means that by increasing the speed by 50%, you reduce the time by about a third. Previously, the time was 6 hours, and the speed was 8.33 km / h, and now the speed is 12.5 km / h (after rounding). And the time will be 50 / 12,5 = 4 hours.


Hope these calculations will be helpful!

Hello, thank you for your reply.


So the correct method to calculate speed bonuses is;

Variable1 x (Base Speed% + Modifier Speed%).

Thank you for the clarification.
