Final Fantasy XIII

I put together an Excel workbook that will, among other things, help you calculate how much experience a weapon needs until it is maxed out (Level *). You select the weapon from a list and type in the numbers from the upgrade screen in the game. It also has data on all the weapons and components and some other stuff. Hopefully somebody finds this useful.

Nice, I was actually just about to ask if anyone had something like this... You need to manually add in the xp to next level though, but other than that I think it's pretty accurate. Saying my level 30 Ultima needs like 100k more xp, which since lvl 30 taks 9.3k 100k sounds right. I also like how you broke down the components for the buy/sell to xp thing. Makes buying components much easier for those who didn't know about some of those. I would suggest moving that closer over to the main page with the calc if you could though... be much more handy there.

Yeah, I know that's not ideal that you have to type in the "denominator" part but the way it works it needs to know the experience required to get from level 1 to level 2 on a weapon, which is available data for tier 1 weapons. But, since tier 2 and 3 weapons don't start out life at level 1 it needs to be calculated, and so it's calculated it based on the current experience required for the next level. It just needs _something_ to go by. The numbers could be calculated and compiled and then I could eliminate that field, but I doubt I'm going to do that. I will be making other updates though.

Otherwise yeah I got tired of manually calculating stuff too, hence this. I have tested it with several different weapons and can say that it works and stuff.

Something else that would be nice is a box somewhere on the calculator that shows what the catalyst is to make it transform.

Done. Redownload for the changes.

Thanks, I think that box is a nice change personally.

As for the calculation thing... Isn't it a set amount that the exp needed goes up by? So once you knew that number wouldn't it be easy enough to figure out the "level 1" value for tier 2 and 3 weapons? Like say it takes 300 more exp each time, thats set in stone. So if at level 10 it needed 30k exp to level to 11, wouldn't subtracting 2700 work? That gives us a level 1 of 27,300, which then should (although I haven't done the math) go up to the 30k for 10-11. I'm not sure how all the calculations work in the spreadsheet, and tbh there isn't anything wrong per-say with needing to enter that, but if thats the way it works (should be easy enough to test, just raise something one level a couple times) wouldn't it be easy enough to add that in?
