Talk:Temporary Lycanthropy

• i'm pretty sure that dark moons giving a drop in muscle would, until at least the day before yesterday, give a corresponding decrease in HP. if it did, this has stopped working. --Evilkolbot 06:49, 29 December 2006 (CST)

• looks like it bottoms out at whatever it would be without the effects. --Evilkolbot 06:55, 29 December 2006 (CST)

• Yeah, I'm kinda sad. I wanted to see 0 max HP so I tried it today on a -100% day and I didn't lose any HP - even at 1 MUS! )-: -Holler 01:27, 12 February 2007 (CST)

• From the updates on March 24, 2005: —Yendor 01:37, 12 February 2007 (CST)

  And then: Your Max HP will never go below what it would be at your base Muscle level, so negative effects (like Beaten Up) won't affect it as much. The same change has been applied to MP.

• I'm not sure if something's changed with this effect or not, but when a hardcore multi of mine acquired the effect yesterday and today (supposedly -100% and -75% respectively), it still got a boost in muscle. I have no idea why.--Metronomed 03:55, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

• I got (with five segments light, three dark) a boost from 124 to 171 buffed (on 85 base). We should be able to figure this out with just some geometric plotting, right? -Tannenzaepfle 02:00, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

• I think this has been changed to give +50% muscle permanently. I'll hold off on changing the article for a few more days just to check, but I've been getting a flat 50% for the last little while. And the guy above seems to agree, so it's not, like, user-specific. --NoHassles 23:44, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

• Today I got a +45 bonus on 76 base Musc, for a 60% increase. There were 6 points of moonlight today. --Prestige 05:34, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

I got a 88 point boost on 149 base stat, or ~60%. Perhaps it hits a minimum of +50% and moon units (zappa) above 4 are each worth 5%? -Tannenzaepfle 02:00, 18 July 2007 (CDT) (sorry I didn't sign my other post; doing that now.)

Agreed. It's been four days, and my data matches. Changing the page. Go team! --NoHassles 23:48, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

• Today there was 1 segment of moonlight and I got a 30% bonus. --Prestige 00:05, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

Today, there were four segments of moonlight, but one had the mini-moon over it. I got a boost of 45%. Perhaps the new formula is +30%, and +5% for each uncovered unit of light? I'm going to edit the page in a few days to see if we can nail this down for certain. -Tannenzaepfle 20:43, 10 August 2007 (CDT)

As noted in the link to the HCO forum, the formula is not exact. Here are some data points for anyone interested. The HCO link on the article also mentions that the boost for no light is 10%. --Bagatelle 17:02, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
