Steps Required (Mechanics)
From The Walkscape Walkthrough
Steps Required is an attribute that removes (or potentially adds) the listed amount of steps from/to the activity you are doing. This can be great if you have capped out your work efficiency!
Calculation to Apply Steps Required
- The calculation for Work Efficiency or Traveling Efficiency is applied first.
- The calculated number of required steps has the Steps Required attribute value applied.
- -X steps required reduces the amount of steps for the activity. This can decrease the number of steps below the work efficiency cap.
- +X steps required increases the amount of steps for the activity. This can increase the number of step to above it's base value.
- Note that there are currently no items that increase the number of steps required.
- The new required step value is shown.
Activity Example with a Negative Steps Required
If we want to Fry a Perch while wearing Oven Mittens at Cooking level 30.
- Oven Mittens give a -2.0 steps required while cooking.
- First, we do the work efficiency calculation to find out the number of steps required with our Cooking levels and Work Efficiency.
- The base work for frying a perch is 70.
- We have a total of 1.3625 cooking efficiency from our cooking levels which reduces the work to 52 steps after rounding
- We subtract the steps required attribute from the steps per action. 52 steps per action - 2.0 steps required = 50 steps per action.
- The final steps required is 50 steps per action to fry a perch with only oven mittens equipped.
Traveling Example with a Negative Steps Required
If we want to do travel from Barbantok to the Nomad Woods while wearing Medieval Sneakers at Agility level 30.
- Medieval Sneakers give a -5.0 steps required while traveling.
- First, we do the Traveling Efficiency calculation to find out the number of steps required with our Agility levels and Work Efficiency.
- The Base Distance for the Route between Barbantok and the Nomad Woods is 342 steps.
- We have a total of 1.30 traveling efficiency which reduces the distance to 270 after rounding giving 27 steps per section of the distance.
- We subtract the steps required attribute from the steps per action. 27 steps per action - 5.0 steps required = 25 steps per action.
- The final steps required is 25 steps per action between Barbantok and the Nomad Wood for a total traveling distance of 250 steps.
