Blacksmithing Minigame & Production

  Xcelled set up a blacksmith initialization emulation script on Aura so we could test how the client's minigame reacts to different setup parameters.
  
  The float value is definitely the speed the bar fills, here's ~1 versus 5.

  Still trying to figure out the rest though.

  - This might be lessened at higher ranks but lolno at ranking this skill.
  

  
  
  As far as my constant mid 60s know:
  Nope.
  
  And I was never provided autosigging either, so there goes that knowledge.

  Well, this is unfortunate to a degree. Between the initialization and the result sent back, it knows how far along the bar you hit. What we *don't* see is how it uses this information to judge, and where along the bar (beginning/middle/end) gives a bigger boost, if any. Also to what degree RNG plays a part. All of that is hidden in the server outside of our reach.

  So it's not just a cursor/GUI thing. The minigame itself offsets your hit randomly.
  
  - This might be lessened at higher ranks but lolno at ranking this skill.
  - That incoming byte might be a "which offset measure to use" thing, but I need more materials to test further.

  r1 Blacksmith, used mousekeys to move the cursor exactly onto the item.

  2 Pixel offset. As opposed to the 3~4 you have. If I ever GET dan 3 on this infernal server, as there's literally nobody doing dan testing for blacksmithing, and I really don't prioritize it because my success rate is 99% without reforges at r1 with even r1 stuff. With 2+2+1+1+2 pixel offsets combined, an 8 discrepency, I ended up with a C+ item. B+ is sigged, and the major difference between C+ and B is +1 and +2 maximum on a weapon. I'm actually curious how the offsets determine the quality.

  Fun activity, since the incomplete item *is* the finished item , just with a flag and before receiving bonus stats:
  
  Plat hammer your incomplete CRKs up to 20 dura. Enjoy 26 or 27 dura CRKs once completed!

  I should point Kenero to this thread. I think she'd have some valuable insight into how this works as I swear I heard her mention something about having to purposely offset the cursor to get good results. She's an expert at this kind of thing and has Dan 3 Blacksmithing
