Berwick Saga Weapon Skill

[Shrouded In Myth]

So does anyone know how exactly raising the Weapon Skill works?

http://haruka.saiin.net/~berwick-saga/1/index.php?%B5%BB%C7%BD%BE%E5%BE%BA

So the link I posted above seems to have information about it, but I don't know Japanese and have to rely on Google Translate.

Anyways here is how I read it.

Skill increase rate = skill growth degree × skills correction ÷ 100

Skill correction = 190- skill experience value × 0.3 max100

So apparently that is the formula, so the more skill experience you have, the slower it grows.

I think it says that 10 weapon exp equals 1 point of Weapon Skill.

Skill value	                First time                      Second time	                Third time                
Less than skill value of 10	Shake the weapon within 24T	Shake the weapon within 24T	Shed a weapon
Less than skill value of 20	Shake the weapon within 24T	Shed a weapon	
Skill value of 20 or more	Shed a weapon within 24T	Shed a weapon	

Pretty sure that shake and shed actually means use and hit. So you can get a bonus weapon skill point if you fulfill these conditions?

And it's different with every type of equipment, like weapons only requires one use, healing magic 2 and shields 4 yo get the bonus?

Formula skill growth degree ÷ 2 × (6- level correction) ÷ 6

Skill level	Correction value
0-9	        0
10-19	        1
20-29	        2
30-39	        3
40-49	        4
50-59	        5

                Skill growth degree
Skill level	Ten	Twenty	        Thirty	Forty	Fifty	Sixty	70	80	Ninety
0-9	        5%	10%	        15%	20%	25%	30%	35%	40%	45%
10-19	        4%	8%	        12%	16%	20%	25%	29%	33%	37%
20-29	        3%	6%	        10%	13%	16%	20%	23%	26%	30%
30-39	        2%	5%	        7%	10%	12%	15%	17%	20%	22%
40-49	        1%	3%	        5%	6%	8%	10%	11%	13%	15%
50-59	        0%	1%	        2%	3%	4%	5%	5%	6%	7%

The formula for weapon growth during level up. Seems like the growth gets smaller the more weapon skill you have.

There is more but I don't know how to interpret it. It seems like shields gain experience even if you just took bonus magical damage. And that food bonuses does not count towards any of the formulas. No weapon exp on Parry and Axe Defense. You can gain exp even if you did no damage? I don't know how to interpret multi-hit. attacks.

So does are my interpretations right? Can anyone help out?

It's really weird. I'll have to take a closer look at this in the morning and see if it can sort out the complete dead end I ran into while trying to test it a few years ago.

But yes, there are all sorts of oddities like the possibility of increasing shield weapon skill from getting hit by magic and potentially getting multiple points of a weapon skill from one battle.
