+I assume you know what powders do - you apply them on armor to get elemental defense or on weapons to get extra damage. If you apply multiple high-tier powders of the same type, you get an extra ability on your weapon (powder special). In this post, we'll go over the calculations that get run when powders are applied on weapons.
++ Here's some terminology that we'll use later: +
powder.conv_rate): The percentage conversion rate of a powder from neutral to elemental damage.powder.range): The raw boost to the base damage range of an element given by a powder.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.
+On regular weapons, only the applied powder mechanic is relevant. The algorithm for this mechanic can be broken down into two steps: the aggregation step and the application step.
++ Loop one (aggregation step): +
+ Loop two (application step): +
In pseudocode, this process looks like:
+
+powders = [] //populated with powders which have a type, a conversion rate, and a range
+order = []
+conversions = {type: {range: [low, high], conv_rate: float }}
+
+for powder in powders:
+ If powder.type not in order:
+ order += powder.type
+ conversions[powder.type][range] += powder.range
+ conversions[powder.type][conv_rate] += powder.conv_rate
+
+for powder_type in order:
+ powder_conversion = conversions[powder_type]
+ neu_conversion = (powder_conversion.conv_rate * weapon_neu_range)
+ weapon_neu_range -= neu_conversion
+ weapon_elem_range += neu_conversion + powder_conversion.range //the appropriate elemental type
+ We verified this algorithm by testing in-game. If you're interested, click on this dropdown for a worked example!
+ +We used a Crystal Senbon to test. Crystal Senbon has 5 powder slots and a base damage range of
The powders we applied, in order: [
And their stats:
+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}
+}
+ Then we can run through the application step.

After flooring all damage values, the Crystal Senbon should display damage ranges of
+ We collected some data samples by melee-ing some combat dummies many times. Showing photo proof for many hits in this post is infeasible (we show one for good measure). We tested this on a character with 0 abilities, 0 external buffs, and only the skill points necessary for holding Crystal Senbon (10 in each).
+This is somewhat handwaving damage calculation, but here's the expected ranges of an assassin melee attack using the weapon damages we calculated.
+Stat bonuses: +
The damage ranges we would expect to see from using a melee attack using our calculated base damage ranges:
+
+ Evidently, the observed damages match up much more closely the powder/damage calculations we've performed compared to the advertised damages on the weapon. Consider the fact that the weapon display doesn't even show neutral damage...
+There are 2 algorithms relevant to powder mechanics on crafted weapons. First, we'll cover the ingredient powder mechanic.
+The ingredient powder mechanic:
++powders = [crafting menu powders in order of reading english] +for powder in powders: + conversion factor = floor(neutral_remaining * powder.conv_rate) + Neutral_base_dmg -= conv factor + Elem_base_dmg += conv factor + floor((powder.range.low + powder.range.high) / 2)+
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:
+Both the ingredient powder mechanic and the full algorithm for crafted weapon powders were tested and verified in-game. For another worked-out example, expand the following dropdown.
+ +We crafted a wand using a
+ The CR weapon starts with 181 base (before applying any powders through any mechanic). We will run through the entire crafted weapon powder application process below:

And, to compare, here's the crafted weapon after applying powders. Again, the numbers are slightly off for the same reasons as they are with the regular weapon example.
+
+ We did the same melee attack testing on combat dummies. We leave damage calculation out of this example, but the damages observed more closely match the calculated numbers than the displayed numbers. Here's a screenshot:
