EmakiStrengthen provides two independent enhancement systems for equipment: star strengthening and branch strengthening. Star strengthening is the classic incremental upgrade with diminishing success rates creating risk-reward tension. Branch strengthening offers tree-shaped route selection, letting players customize their equipment growth direction based on playstyle.<\/p>\n
## Core Features<\/p>\n
### Star Strengthening System<\/p>\n
Classic equipment enhancement gameplay where each attempt increases one star level with diminishing success rates:<\/p>\n
**Default Success Rate Curve:**<\/p>\n
| Target Star | Base Success Rate |
\n| ———– | —————– |
\n| +1 | 100% |
\n| +2 | 100% |
\n| +3 | 95% |
\n| +4 | 85% |
\n| +5 | 75% |
\n| +6 | 60% |
\n| +7 | 45% |
\n| +8 | 32% |
\n| +9 | 22% |
\n| +10 | 14% |
\n| +11 | 8% |
\n| +12 | 4% |<\/p>\n
Each recipe can override global rates with its own curve. Actual success rate = base rate + pity bonus, capped at `success_chance_cap` (default 90%).<\/p>\n
**Failure Penalties:**
\n– **Keep** \u2014 Star level unchanged, pity accumulates
\n– **Downgrade** \u2014 Star level drops by 1, pity accumulates
\n– **Shatter** \u2014 Equipment is damaged (requires repair)<\/p>\n
**Economy Cost:**
\n– Supports Vault economy system
\n– Cost formula supports `{base_cost}` and `{star}` variables
\n– Example: `{base_cost} * {star}` means cost scales linearly with star level<\/p>\n
### Branch Strengthening System<\/p>\n
Tree-shaped route selection allowing the same equipment to grow in completely different directions:<\/p>\n
**Branch Tree Structure:**
\n– `branch_id` \u2014 Branch identifier (root node uses “root”)
\n– `display_name` \u2014 Branch display name for GUI selection
\n– `fork_after_star` \u2014 Star level after which the fork choice appears (-1 = no fork)
\n– `stars` \u2014 Star stage definitions within this branch
\n– `children` \u2014 Child branch list<\/p>\n
**Fork Mechanism:**<\/p>\n
When a player completes the specified star level, the system presents a branch selection GUI. The player must choose a route to continue. Example:
\n– root (\u26051-4) \u2192 fork_after_star: 4 \u2192 Choose Sharp\/Heavy route
\n– sharp (\u26055-7) \u2192 fork_after_star: 7 \u2192 Choose Lethal\/Swift route<\/p>\n
**Path Recording:**<\/p>\n
Selected branch paths are stored in item PDC (e.g., “sharp\/lethal”) for:
\n– Determining subsequent star configurations
\n– Visual display in GUI showing the chosen route
\n– Correct attribute rebuilding on refresh<\/p>\n
**Multi-Layer Nesting:**<\/p>\n
Branches can nest infinitely \u2014 a branch can fork again internally. This enables complex skill-tree-style growth routes, such as:
\n– Base route \u2192 Physical\/Magic fork
\n– Physical route \u2192 Crit\/Heavy\/Penetration fork
\n– Each ultimate route unlocks a unique skill<\/p>\n
### Pity Compensation (Forging Marks)<\/p>\n
The Temper system ensures every failure contributes toward eventual success:<\/p>\n
**Accumulation Rules:**
\n– Each failed enhancement increases temper level by 1
\n– On success, temper resets to 0
\n– Temper has a maximum level (`max_temper`, default 4)<\/p>\n
**Compensation Formula:**
\n– Each temper level provides fixed success rate bonus (`temper_chance_bonus_per_level`, default 5%)
\n– Actual rate = base rate + (temper level \u00d7 bonus per level)
\n– Final rate capped at `success_chance_cap` (default 90%)<\/p>\n
**Example Calculations:**
\n– +8 base rate 32%, temper 3: actual = 32% + 3\u00d75% = 47%
\n– +10 base rate 14%, temper 4 (max): actual = 14% + 4\u00d75% = 34%<\/p>\n
**Temper Boost Materials:**<\/p>\n
Special materials with `temper_boost` can provide extra temper levels when placed in the GUI, adding strategic depth to high-star attempts.<\/p>\n
### Protection Materials<\/p>\n
Safety nets for high-risk enhancement attempts:<\/p>\n
**Anti-Downgrade Materials:**
\n– Materials with `protection: true`
\n– Consumed on failure to prevent star loss
\n– Not consumed on success
\n– Amount set to -1 means detection-only (not consumed)<\/p>\n
**Anti-Shatter Materials:**
\n– Prevent equipment destruction on high-star failures
\n– Shattered equipment requires additional repair processes<\/p>\n
**Usage Strategy:**
\n– Low stars (+1 to +5): High success rates, protection usually unnecessary
\n– Mid stars (+6 to +8): Worth using anti-downgrade materials
\n– High stars (+9+): Strongly recommended to use protection<\/p>\n
### Name\/Lore Action System<\/p>\n
Six action types for modifying equipment appearance on successful enhancement:<\/p>\n
| Action Type | Description | Example Use |
\n| —————- | —————————————- | ——————————— |
\n| `append_suffix` | Append text to end of item name | Add `[+5]` star marker |
\n| `prepend_prefix` | Prepend text to beginning of item name | Add route marker |
\n| `prepend` | Insert lines at top of lore | Show enhancement level and temper |
\n| `append` | Append lines at bottom of lore | First-time attribute addition |
\n| `insert_below` | Insert lines below a matched anchor line | Insert new attributes at position |
\n| `replace_line` | Replace the entire matched anchor line | Update existing attribute values |<\/p>\n
**Lore Operation Strategy:**
\n– \u26051 uses `append` to add attribute lines for the first time
\n– \u26052+ uses `replace_line` with anchor matching to update existing values
\n– Milestone stars use `append` to add new attribute lines
\n– This ensures each attribute always has exactly one lore line regardless of star level<\/p>\n
All modifications built on CoreLib’s Ledger system, fully reversible.<\/p>\n
### Expression Variables<\/p>\n
Attribute values dynamically calculated with `{star}` as the core variable:<\/p>\n
**Available Variables:**
\n– `{star}` \u2014 Current star level
\n– `{temper}` \/ `{max_temper}` \u2014 Current\/max temper level
\n– `{temper_color}` \u2014 Auto-colored code based on temper level
\n– `{base_cost}` \u2014 Economy base cost<\/p>\n
**Dynamic Calculation:**
\n– Cost formula: `{base_cost} * {star}` \u2192 cost increases with star level
\n– Attributes can be defined independently per star or use accumulated values<\/p>\n
### Milestone Broadcasts<\/p>\n
Server-wide announcements when reaching specific star levels:<\/p>\n
**Local Broadcast:**
\n– Sent to nearby players within configured radius (default 48 blocks)
\n– Default trigger at +8
\n– Suitable for mid-tier achievement notifications<\/p>\n
**Global Broadcast:**
\n– Sent to all online players
\n– Default triggers at +10 and +12 (max star)
\n– Suitable for major achievement celebrations<\/p>\n
**Custom Format:**
\n– Messages support MiniMessage format
\n– Supports `{player}`, `{star}`, `{show_item}` placeholders
\n– `{show_item}` displays item hover tooltip in chat<\/p>\n
### Effect System<\/p>\n
Each star level can provide multiple effect types:<\/p>\n
| Effect Type | Description |
\n| ————– | ———————————————————————— |
\n| `variables` | Expression engine variables for lore rendering and attribute calculation |
\n| `ea_attribute` | EmakiAttribute PDC attributes (explicit override of accumulated values) |
\n| `es_skill` | EmakiSkills skill binding, unlocked at specific star levels |
\n| `lore_action` | Item lore modifications |
\n| `name_action` | Item name modifications |<\/p>\n
**Milestone Effects:**
\n– Specific stars can be marked as milestones (with `name` field)
\n– Milestone stars typically unlock new attribute types or skills
\n– Example: +5 unlocks crit rate, +8 unlocks damage bonus, +12 unlocks ultimate skill<\/p>\n
