Total Ranks vs. Total TDP on 04/21/2010 10:06 AM CDT

After nearly a decade, and seemingly insurmountable odds - team TDP has finally gained the upper hand! This was one of my biggest goals to be honest... Feels good to finaly achieve it.

You have 16510 total ranks and have gained 16511 total TDPs.

Wow, pretty interesting. Not sure I'll ever hit more tdps than ranks.

If you gain enough ranks, it'll happen eventually. When exactly the switch occurs will vary greatly depending on training style. It's a nice milestone though, congrats.

Fastest way to get your TDP:Rank ratio up is to get your main everyday skills to high ranks since you'll eventually gain multiple TDPs per rank. Ignore skills that you will never really use other than to gain TDPs (mainly extra weapons and armors) because it will take several ranks in a low skill to earn one TDP.

Not that I'm anywhere near close... my ranks have about 4000 or so on my TDPs :P

Where do you go to calculate your total TDPs?

<< Where do you go to calculate your total TDPs?

Do it by hand, man!

Or use the circle calcs on Olwydd's or Zairius' sites. Zairius has not updated after the MD and PM skills were renamed so some of the calculations will be off if you dont manually rename them before submitting.

Or just use the genie plugin.

That and the Exp Tracker are easily my favorites.

/sort is amazing.

Third would be a tie between Room Display and your Perception plugin.

Not the automapper?

I wouldn't consider the Automapper a plugin.

But yes I looooooooove the Automapper! It's one of Genie's best features. Though Triggers and .. Okay I just love all of Genie. I love Genie. See what you did?

I should probably not stay up all night and post on the forums.

Re: Total Ranks vs. Total TDP on 04/22/2010 10:00 AM CDT

Thanks for the comments folks,

Like JMF said, when it happens can vary greatly. Most focused (power) trainers I know cross that barrier around 8000 total ranks. If your a more rounded character though (or just train a lot of things) this can happen much later. I chose the long road obviously to this goal. I think I read somewhere that an individual skill has to gain 400 total ranks before it starts earning a positive TDP flow from its own progress. So regardless of how you train - It could be awhile before total TDP beats out total Ranks.

I currently have 35 skills that are 375+ ranks, (almost every skill I train is over 400 ranks). So that figure seems pretty accurate to me. But I wont even attempt the math this early in the morning...

Is this in prime? That's real impressive. I'd be interested in seeing what you're training if you feel like posting it.

That is correct.

35 skills at 375+ sounds great. When is TM reaching 500? :D

Yeah, prime JMF - its been a long time coming though. I didn't rank all these in the last year or something. And unfortunatly ALVESN50, TM is still a ways off from that nice 500 mark. Man terts are slow. I know I gotta keep hustlin' though or you will catch me <grin>
