Talk:Jade Bot Glide Booster

I'm thinking we should figure out the number of vertical units that can be gained by using this. -Chieftain Alex 20:43, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Bought the modules, recorded gifs of gliding with my coordinate reader, now doing the processing. -Chieftain Alex 21:00, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

The method of measuring height I used was to glide in a straight line off the edge of a balcony in Arborstone. I have used my coordinate reader with the height (per this - note this link may or may not be the fork with vertical units, I don't remember). In each instance I recorded a gif file with LICEcap, converted it to mp4, then rewatched the video in slow motion, recording the min and max heights before/after using the glider boost skill. Rough measurements from my recorded video files were as follows:

Scenario	Height units gained	Relative to no module	Relative to previous tier	Equivalent extra seconds of gliding to same height [?]	Animation duration (s)
Booster without modules	427	+0%	N/A	3.5	1.0
Booster with Module 1	806	+90%	N/A	6.7	1.3
Booster with Module 2	941	+120%	+30% vs Module 1	7.8	1.4
Booster with Module 3	1068	+150%	+30% vs Module 2	8.8	1.5

Suggest we only quote the +90%, +120% and +150% values. -Chieftain Alex 21:48, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Might also be worth noting that the animation takes longer for Module 1, 2 and 3 (added into the table above). -Chieftain Alex 22:27, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

I've meassured this too (to some extend (I don't have the Recovered Hover Engine for the third tier in order to complete it (yet).)). The way i've meassured it is i changed the java program i made to show the vertical distance traveled the last interval only, waited untill it saturated under constant gliding downwards speed, noted the value, boosted and then noted the value again in order to subtract it from the other before the (first) boost would go past the interval. Here's the values that i do have:

Scenario	Elevation (units)	Relative (No module)	Relative (Tier 1)	Relative (Tier 2)	Relative (Tier 3)	Potential additional gliding time (seconds)
Glide Booster	560	±0.00%	-41.66%	-49.64%	-55.20%	~4.96
+Gliding Booster 1	960	+71.42%	±0.00%	-13.66%	-23.20%	~8.51
+Gliding Booster 2	1112	+98.57%	+15.83%	±0.00%	-11.04%	~9.86
+Gliding Booster 3	1250	+123.21%	+30.20%	+12.41%	±0.00%	~11.08

Also, it would seem to me as that gliding downwards speed is ~112.74 units/s. Nightsky (talk) 16:07, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

I didn't want to wait for this to drop anymore so i bought one. Accordingly i've updated the table above with, i.a., the third tier and some more columns now. Nightsky (talk) 01:23, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

I suggest making the values equal for all Sites. On this overview site the height Bonus is 71.42% / 98.57% / 123.21%. On the respective Booster Sites Gliding Booster 1, Gliding Booster 2 and Gliding Booster 3 the height bonus is still 90% / 120% / 150% (Praaug (talk) 11:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC))
