Higher Grade Knowledge Gain

Last Edited on : Mar 22, 2024, 16:02 (UTC)

Knowledge grades range from the highest grade (S) to the lowest default grade (C), which are obtained according to a specified probability formula. 

  

The knowledge that you have acquired is graded according to the probability formula listed below. 

If you fail to acquire higher-grade knowledge, the probability formula for acquiring knowledge of a grade one level lower grade is applied, and this is repeated until the final grade is determined. 

(Example: Failure to acquire S grade knowledge -> Activation of A+ grade knowledge acquisition probability formula -> Failure to acquire A+ grade knowledge -> Activation of B grade knowledge acquisition probability formula - Repeated until final grade is determined) 

 


Knowledge Acquisition Probability Formula

Basic knowledge acquisition probability: Items such as Ellen Glasses and Weenie Elixir (which have the "Chance to gain knowledge increases by +50%" disclaimer in the item description) proportionally increase the probability based on the acquisition rate for basic knowledge. 

Example: When hunting Monster A, which has a basic knowledge acquisition rate of 40%, and wearing Ellen Glasses, which increases the chance of gaining knowledge by 50%, the rate is applied as follows: Basic knowledge acquisition rate of Monster A 40% + (Effect of wearing glasses 50% x Basic knowledge acquisition rate of Monster A 40%)
 

Knowledge Acquisition Probability Formula by Grade

- S grade knowledge acquisition probability: 1% + @ 

- A+ grade knowledge acquisition probability: 6% + @ 

- A grade knowledge acquisition probability: 16% + @ 

- B grade knowledge acquisition probability: 46% + @ 

- C grade knowledge acquisition probability: Obtained after failure of all other grades.


※ @: Represents items such as Round Earrings and Looney Elixir, (which have the "Increased chance of acquiring higher-grade knowledge when acquiring knowledge" disclaimer in the item description), that increase the probability of acquiring higher-grade knowledge. 

Example: When wearing Round Earrings, the chance of acquiring S grade knowledge increases to 6% (1% + 5%).
