How much is that Summon in the Window?

Ok, so in an effort to beat the Insomnia last night, I decided to start a Spreadsheet to lay out exactly what the various 'Summons' costs is.

So what does this cover? It covers the 'Pure' Summoners actual summons as well as cubics for them and all classes that use them. Basically if it used Crystals or Gemstones to summon/maintain I included it.

In the case of the consumables like the Swoop Cannon, I did NOT include the cost of the Flash Gunpowder...You're on your own with that stuff! And that includes any Beast shots of any type that you might use.

Each summon (or cubic) is broken down by skill level. If you want the character level you get that skill level at, try the library here or on a fansite.

All the information is in a XLS spreadsheet. All cubics are listed on one page, and each character's summons are on a sheet by class. Also the very first page you see is called "Consumables". There are two lines to look at here. A 'Base Value' and a 'Cost'.

The 'Base Value' is the in-game value assigned to each crystal/gemstone. This is only there for reference.

The 'Cost' line is where you will want to put in your own value, for how much you are spending on crystals/gems. (These lines are editable, the remainder of the worksheets are protected by default.)

When you have entered your 'Cost' on the consumable sheet, you can go to any sheet in the workbook and see the costs per skill level for all summons, and they will be updated using that value!

You might want to skip over the 'Warsmith' page if your adena balance is faint of heart...don't say I didn't warn you if you look!

Oh, and my Insomnia? Let's just say that starting something that you 'get into' is a bad, BAD way to make yourself bored and tired.... :eek:

My big Ol' Spreadsheet on Summoning costs! (http://personalpages.tds.net/~painamplifier/Summon_Costs.xls)

I feel your pain.

nutbar

your crystal costs are ungodly, i feel bad for the summoners on your server.

Huh? As noted, those are just placeholder values....your supposed to stick your OWN crystals costs in to see how much it cost you to summon a servitor/cubic.

So if you can get D crystals for 550a, by all means change the value on the consumable page to reflect that!

The 'base value' field isn't used anywhere either. It's just there if you don't know what the game thinks the crystals/gems are worth.

...Some of the values I had in there were just junk anyway. Some were max tax checks, others were just weird estimates and one was pure imagination.

(And for all I know, I didn't save the sheets with the last values I was playing with.)

ohh i know i did calculations with my costs i'm just saying you're summoners have a rough ride.

PS you should make a per hour cost for cubics
