Atk1 & Atk2, Magic Attack?

[LadyNanuia]

Right so if a monster is supposed to have 2500-3500 dmg and say 500-1000 Magic attack, now according to the documents in rAthena

ATK1: The minimum attack of the monster.

---------------------------------------

ATK2: The maximum attack of the monster. If undefined, the value of ATK1 will be used as the absolute attack.

 

How exactly does this translate into magic attack and how do i set these numbers properly? it seems skills are either way to strong or way to weak.

Assuming renewal, ATK1 is their ATK, and ATK2 is their MATK. I can't believe they still haven't fixed the documentation in a whole year.

INT and STR (and whatever else present in the formulas) affects the appropriate stats, this is the value of additional attack/magic attack on top of what comes from the monster's stats and level. Kinda like equip atk for a player. Min and Max values are also calculated, you can't set them.

Stat recalculation (after a script command sets them) was not working correctly, so if you're trying to do that, you'll have to fix the source first. Most importantly, script commands to read and write the stats don't set the numbers you expect them to and/or set something that makes no sense (for example yes, you can set max atk from script but then next time it's calculated the value will be replaced so that's pointless. )

So say that a monster should have 1-2k atk and 3-4k matk, i set Atk1 at 1500 and Atk2 at 3500 ?

Assuming the monster is level 1 with 0 INT and 0 STR then yes. Otherwise you need lower numbers. You have to look up the formula in the source if you want to know the exact calculation.

So its like i thought then, okay thank you!
