Base difficulty is assigned to NPCs upon creation, and it is used for various systems and in-game mechanics. It is one of the core values used when determining magic loot, treasure maps, drop odds, barding difficulty, and taming difficulty. Knowing what the purpose of base difficulty is, and how it affects gameplay can be very helpful information.
An approximate base difficulty can be calculated by using the following method:
1) Use the Animal Lore skill on the creature
2) Add up the following attributes:
- Max Hit Points * 1.6
- Max Stamina
- Max Mana
- All Skills
3)Add another 100 points for each of the following abilities:
- Spell Casting
- Fire Breath
- Radiation or Aura Damage (Heat, Cold etc.)
- Resistance to Poison
- Lifeforce Draining
4) Add another 20 points for each level of poison attack the creature can do. This ranges from 20 for a level 1 poison attack to 100 for a level 5 poison attack
5) If the creature's stats and skills total is 700 or less, continue with step 7
6) If the creature's stats and skills total is greater than 700, subtract 700 from the end result of step 4, then multiply the result with 0.275, and finally add 700 to that result.
7) Drop the numbers after the decimal point and then divide by 10. The result is the creature's base difficulty.
Note If the result of the difficulty calculation is higher than 160, then the creatures base difficulty is lowered to 160.
