XxWolfxX Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I know how to do it, but what exactly determines the success rate? I read this sites formula it said it uses skill. I was always under the impression luck was involved not skill. also why the hell is there so many coins in the game X.X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Success rate = Skill + Thief Bonus + Biorhythm bonus [%] Thief Bonus: 60 if user is a Thief, Rogue or Whisper Biorhythm bonus: +20 if arrow is pointing at highest, +10 if pointing at high, -10 if pointing at low and -20 if pointing at lowest This site is a great resource.

I think he's doubting whether or not it is actually skill. If figure Vincent hacks so it has to be skill because otherwise he'd say luck.

whase Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I think it was luck in the GBA games. skill sounds correct to me for this game, I had a high luck unit and a high skill unit both an even turn on a place with a hidden item. high skill had it it 2 turns and high luck had to wait for about 7 turns. of course this is only personal experience~ also, I thought the game stated thieves and sorts have 100% chance...

Narga_Rocks Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) I think it was luck in the GBA games. skill sounds correct to me for this game, I had a high luck unit and a high skill unit both an even turn on a place with a hidden item. high skill had it it 2 turns and high luck had to wait for about 7 turns. of course this is only personal experience~ also, I thought the game stated thieves and sorts have 100% chance... Well, in most games thieves have 100%. Not RD. But they get a large bonus. I think maybe fe9 said (in game) thieves were guaranteed. And you could turn your "personal experience" into an "experiment" by repeating the action another 30 times, if you wanted, and writing down how many turns it took each unit. Just, pay attention to bio, if you do that. Bio has a really strong effect (allegedly) on the probability. Personally, though, I've always been too lazy to run that experiment. I have been curious about it in the past. Just never enough to do the testing myself to prove (to myself) that the site is right. And yeah, most fes (probably all but this one) use luck.

Silith Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yeah I found out that I missed the Beastfoe in 1-4 thanks to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Testing the hidden treasure rate was something I was going to do, but never had the opportunity to do so. The Skill-dependent formula was taken from a Japanese fan site that I found to be usually quite reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxWolfxX Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 i wasn't doubting it, just on gamefaqs they say its luck in radiant dawn, so i was curious as to which was fact. thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I always thought it was luck. Ive had characters with massive luck scores find that stuff even when thieves (Sothe mainly) were unsuccessful. Like in 4-3, Sigrun sometimes finds the Basilard when Sothe seems to not find it. :/ Same with Lethe and the Laguz Gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, her luck ain't bad, but her skill is 46 while transformed. 66% at best bio. Luck isn't that high so I don't think she'd be as successful if it was luck.

Silith Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 True. Nailah is awesome at picking up coins in chapter 1-8. Her side of the field has less combat anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
