Talk:Monstrous boiler

I'm weirdly unlucky, I can't get the red hot iron to drop more than once. Is anyone else having trouble?--Tombot (talk) 01:58, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

• Running at +15 ML I got the wine bomb in three boiler fights, with the temperature increase of 18 degrees after the first fight and 17 degrees after the second. This means:
  • the floor() part of the formula is wrong - the result is rounded instead. It remains to be spaded whether it is rounded up or down at random or whether there is a pattern,
  • the threshold is quite definitely NOT 60 degrees.
• Running at -100 ML gives you 10 degrees after every fight and the bomb after the sixth, meaning:
  • the formula doesn't take ML values smaller than 0,
  • the threshold lies in the range 51-60 degrees, inclusive.
• A clannie has just got the bomb in one fight at +81 ML. This would support the value of 51 degrees, assuming it only happens 50% of the time.

Based on evidence presented by you, weka and Ezandora, the test could be "if (heat > 50)". Meaning it should always require 6 combats at +0 ML or lower, should always succeed in 1 combat at +82 or higher, should always require 2 combats at +80, and should succeed in 1 combat 50% of the time at +81. Just needs a little more data. --Greycat (talk) 13:48, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
