    • Before we get into calculations, one last thing - there are two types of weapons we can powder: non-crafted (regular) and crafted. There are also two corresponding types of powder application which have their own mechanics: applied powders, when a powder master puts powders on your items, and ingredient powders, when you use a powder in the recipe to make a crafted item. We will start with the more common weapon type: regular weapons.

    We used a Crystal Senbon to test. Crystal Senbon has 5 powder slots and a base damage range of [77, 77].

    The powders we applied, in order: [III, III, III, III, III]

    And their stats:

    -
  • III: [8, 14] range, 25% conversion

  • III: [2, 18] range, 13% conversion

  • III: [6, 10] raw, 17% conversion

    • We can start running the applied powder algorithm. After the aggregation step, we'd have:

     order = [E, T, W]
 conversions: {
-    E: {range: [24, 42], conv_rate: 0.75}, 
-    T: {range: [2, 18], conv_rate: 0.13}, 
-    W: {range: [6, 10], conv_rate: 0.17}

+    T: {raw: [2, 18], conversion: 0.13}, 
+    W: {raw: [6, 10], conversion: 0.17}
 }

    Then we can run through the application step.

    For those unfamiliar with crafted weapon base damage: crafted weapons have a singular base damage value that is randomly chosen from a range when the item is crafted. The resulting base damage range is calculated using this value: if base is the base damage value, then the corresponding range is [floor(0.9 * base), floor(1.1 * base)]. The ingredient powder mechanic modifies the base damage values of a crafted weapon before they get converted to base damage ranges.

    If you use a powder as an ingredient in a crafting recipe for a crafted weapon, the above ingredient powder mechanic is applied. However, there's a more complex interaction when using both ingredient and applied powders. Using the ingredient powder mechanic and the applied powder mechanic as subroutines, we can define the algorithm for applying powders on crafted weapons as below:
