Required tries for a target skill
TFS 1.6 assigns a base value to each skill and an exponential multiplier to each vocation-skill pair. The requirement returned for target skill T is the base multiplied by the vocation factor raised to T minus eleven. Advancing from current skill S to S + 1 therefore uses target T = S + 1.
Tries(skill, T) = floor(Base_skill x Multiplier_vocation,skill^(T - 11))- T is the target skill level.
- The exponent is zero at target skill 11.
- The C++ return type is an integer, so fractional results are truncated during conversion.
| Skill | Base |
|---|---|
| Fist fighting | 50 |
| Club fighting | 50 |
| Sword fighting | 50 |
| Axe fighting | 50 |
| Distance fighting | 30 |
| Shielding | 100 |
| Fishing | 20 |
Stock vocation multipliers
A lower multiplier means faster long-term advancement because each target level grows less sharply than the previous one. The difference compounds. A 1.1 factor and a 2.0 factor may look close on a configuration screen, but they produce radically different high-skill requirements.
| Vocation | Fist | Club / sword / axe | Distance | Shielding | Magic mana factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sorcerer / Master Sorcerer | 1.5 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 1.5 | 1.1 |
| Druid / Elder Druid | 1.5 | 1.8 | 1.8 | 1.5 | 1.1 |
| Paladin / Royal Paladin | 1.2 | 1.2 | 1.1 | 1.1 | 1.4 |
| Knight / Elite Knight | 1.1 | 1.1 | 1.4 | 1.1 | 3.0 |
Mana spent for a target magic level
Magic-level advancement uses mana spent rather than weapon tries. The stock formula begins at 1,600 and compounds by the vocation mana multiplier. To advance from magic level M - 1 to M, evaluate the formula at target M.
Mana(M) = floor(1,600 x ManaMultiplier^(M - 1))- Sorcerer and druid use 1.1 in the stock profile.
- Paladin uses 1.4.
- Knight uses 3.0.
| Target magic level | Sorcerer / druid | Paladin | Knight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 3,772 | 33,057 | 31,492,800 |
| 20 | 9,785 | 956,208 | 1,859,618,347,200 |
| 50 | 170,750 | 23,141,618,559 | Beyond practical stock integer range |
These are per-target requirements returned by the base function, not cumulative mana from magic level zero. RateMagic, exercise weapons, offline training, event multipliers, loyalty-like systems, and custom mana-spent callbacks can change effective progress.
A try must be earned before a rate can multiply it
Training rate is only one part of advancement. Weapon skill progress depends on attack events and hit/block outcomes. Shielding depends on eligible blocked hits and shield state. Fishing depends on successful configured interactions. Magic progression depends on mana-spent credit. A server can advertise 10x skills while anti-training logic, attack speed, target armor, regeneration, exercise weapons, or offline trainers dominate the real pace.
- 01
Fix the starting state
Record vocation, promotion, skill, percentage progress, weapon, target, attack speed, and server rates.
- 02
Count eligible events
Run a known number of attacks, blocks, casts, or training-weapon charges.
- 03
Measure credited progress
Compare exact internal tries or mana spent when administrative tooling is available.
- 04
Repeat at another level
Exponential curves can hide incorrect multipliers at low skills.
What a complete server profile should disclose
- Skill and magic rate values, including stage ranges and event modifiers.
- Vocation-specific multipliers and any promotion changes.
- Attack speed, training-monster rules, anti-idle policy, and multi-client policy.
- Offline training duration, conversion ratio, premium requirement, and daily cap.
- Exercise weapon charges, mana or health value per charge, and store availability.
- Loss of skills and magic level on death, blessings, skull penalties, and reset systems.
