Didn't those change relatively recently? I'm fairly sure they're in Kelpie's script or an xml file, so retrieving them should be no issue. They might be out of date, though.

Do the leaked files have anything about how crafted item grades are determined or about the effects of rain on music?

Anything you can dig up about the blacksmithing minigame would be great.

Points for hitting at the beginning vs end of the green, does the order you hit the Xs count, how much RNG is there, and what is the actual max result?

Also Monday and its interaction as far as an actual quality value bonus, and how it is applied to more recent crafting like engi/mcraft.

These things are most likely handled in the server binaries.

For grades, synthesis grades are in there somewhere (and match what basic info on them is in the wiki when I ran across them once) but are more or less a random result. Also I can't find them again for some reason. Might be engrish filenames.

For item grades from other skills, they're either...
1 - Too old to be using databases, so the result is a function of the skill and we can't see how the skill itself works.
2 - Too new to be anywhere.

Almost anything involving actual math or formula in skills is calculated by the server itself (and not pulled out of a lookup table or anything), and we don't have the server software (despite rumors), let alone the source to grab function definitions. The closest we can get is to measure client-side results and figure out the stuff from there, but in a lot of cases that's not nearly precise enough (or it's too hard to get a huge sample size).

This is why the only things we've done involving skills are things we can test client-side, things we can see the results directly.

I may have to work with somebody to get lots of materials to make lots of attempts and log this or something to see if...

A - The resulting quality or info is sent in the outgoing data (like with cooking).
B - If the server plays the minigame at the same time as you and uses the server result and discards yours (like with the dye minigame).

(Mostly 'cause I've never actually played the minigame so I'd be fumbling around at first.)

The hot air ballooning rewards weren't revamped when the rafting ones were, so this is possible, gonna' start that.

Weapons that can be dropped by iria field bosses with better possible stats than X grade blacksmithed ones.

Weren't Giant Field Bosses replaced with Raids in the Saga of Iria? Drops might be completely different now.

Monster Urn versions might be the same.

Anything about the true accuracy when "aiming is 70% or higher" thingy?

The server doesn't report accuracy, only whether the shot hit or not (which we can see for ourselves). Only way to test would be to fire thousands of shots at different aim rates and compare the results and I'm too lazy for that.

Can you see if there's any sort of pattern to Tara auction?
