Ard's Progress ~ 1864 Total - 108 Combat

Lovin' the set up you have for your progress report, and the standard deviation is a nice extra touch.

Good luck with the goals. :)

I had to get a quest point or get almost 50K XP to collect tears. Soooo...another quest down, four to go.

Collected 127 Tears!!! :shock:

Another Construction level down, five to go.

I was drawn to work my favorite skill tonight and got a thieving level at the Pyramid.

Standard Deviation: 5.49

Got hammered with Demon Butler again...

Standard Deviation: 5.40

Its good to see another relatively low combat player with some skills under their belt!

im 98 combat with 1668 skill total

I like your herb, farm and theiving levels and good luck with all your goals

Spent more time with the paradox that is my Demon Butler...

Standard Deviation: 5.33

Better get to thieving!

could you explain standard deviation to me? ive heard about it but never been tought

could you explain standard deviation to me? ive heard about it but never been tought

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance and shows how spread out the values in a collection of values (skill levels in this case) are.

A high standard deviation indicates that the data points (levels in this case) are far from the mean/average and a small standard deviation indicates that they are clustered close to the mean/average.

Here's a breakdown of the calculation:

• [*:qfsmbyf0]Square the variance for each skill: Subtract the average from the skill level. Use the absolute value for the rest of the calculation.
  • 
     
    Example: Range level 84-75.68 (average)=8.32

[*:qfsmbyf0]Multiply the result by itself.

• 
   
  8.32^2 (squared) =69.22

[*:qfsmbyf0]Add up all of the squared values.

• 
   
  Example using my skills: 624.31

[*:qfsmbyf0]Divide the result by the total number of values (in this case, 22).

• 
   
  624.31/22=28.38

[*:qfsmbyf0]Find the square root of that number.

• 
   
  5.33

I hope that makes sense for you.

Thanks for the explanation, ard. By the way, its cool to have at least one person with good organization, spelling, and grammar :

Did this level at the pyramid...still no sceptre.

Standard Deviation: 5.42

Excellent as always. Get that standard deviation low low low! :thumbsup:

Great job, Ard. :D

Feel free to add me in-game. :)

And you thought I was obsessive about levels...

I gotta teach you how to run the pyramid.

I gotta teach you how to run the pyramid.

I suspect that my plundering xp will improve when Comast gets out here and drops a new cable line to the hub at the street. I've run the pyramid using all methods possible. Methinks the culprit is ISP response time.

Another Construction level down, two to go.

Finished off a WC level too.

Standard Deviation: 5.4

I've been visiting the kingdom roughly once a week. It looks like yesterday's resources were for 8 days. I usually deposit enough each time to keep the coffers to 1.5M so that they have enough to keep them above 1M by the time I get back.

Check out this post (page 13 of this thread) for an explanation of standard deviation.

Have fun!

Thanks to Swampjedi, I had a pile of Monkfish to cook for another level.

Standard Deviation: 5.45

Thanks Swamp!!! :3>

Another Farming level done.

Standard Deviation: 5.43

haha all this talk about standard deviation... its sounds like my maths class :cry:

anyway, great lvls, keep up the good work
