Review of Inarus' Resin Testing : Fern Palm Resin Addition

As per inarus' Fern Palm resin tests. we can observe a few correlations:

• Scent Correlation: Fern Palm mostly seems to have a positive effect on Pine scented incense, except in the case of my test #9 at the very end. I believe that the correlation could still hold true as quality seems to diminish when adding various resins (as in my test). Furthermore FP resin had a very negative effect on Citrus in Resin Test 2 and Musk in Resin Test 5. For the counter-argument, Resin Test 5 actually disproves the scent being the single factor in determining quality improvements of adding resin, because during +CON -WEAK the quality dipped, but was restored after the switch to +PER -FORGET.

• Stat Correlation: Fern Palm had a negative effect on the +CON -FORGET pair in Resin Test 2 but had a positive effect in many other tests with the +CON -FORGET pair. It also had a positive correlation with +PER -FORGET.

• Adjective Correlation: Resin Test 3 shows a positive output from Vengeful but this is not true of Resin Test 2. The adjective can be loosely correlated to the volatility of the change (NEED MORE DATA)

Conclusions about Resin Correlation

Most of the data frustratingly points to a still, very much confused situation about incense. The one strong theme that persists throughout Inarus' Fern palm testing is that the combination of Pine scent and +PER -FORGET or +CON -FORGET is likely to produce a boost in quality. The amount of quality boost is not even across the board, sometimes its slow or fast. It's possible to take the opinion that the adjective determines the volatility of the change (Vengeful tests both show a massive change in quality in short time periods) but I can't show a correlation there due to lack of data.

Additional testing is needed with 20-30db of Fern Palm resin per re-roll in order to:

1. Draw a correlation between adjective and change volatility, and
2. Disprove my earlier correlation that FP Resin always positively effects incense under the condition of Pine, or Pine with the stat combo +PER -FORGET or +CON -FORGET

If this theory fails to be disproven then we can say that a Scent + Stat combination is receptive to a certain resin. In this case Pine +PER/CON -FORGET.

Additional Testing based on this theory

Continuing Fern Palm Resin Tests until the data shows or confirms a trend.

• 1st roll: q370 Citrus, giddy speed, -confusion
• Assumption: no matching stat pairs, previous negative with citrus, assume wildly negative.
• +1 : q283
• +2 : q254 -> giddy dex -lethargy
• +3 : q239 -> giddy focus -sluggishness
• +4 : q258 -> same stats, seem to have stabilised.
• +5 : q267
• +6 : q272
• +7 : q274
• +8 : q273 -> giddy con, bit of forgetfulness
• +9 : q292 (+19)
• +10: q308 (+16)
• +11: q322 (+14)
• +12: q334 (+12)
• +13: q345 (+9)
• +14: q354 (+9)
• +15: q363 (+9)
• +16: q370 (+7) ... ending test, reaching the slow end of the curve.

2nd roll: q358 Musk, hopeful end, -weakness Assumption: previous positives with musk, but not this stat combo. Anything could happen.

+1 : q309 306 -> hopeful per, -forget 326 340 350 356 -> im thinking we might switch to the con -forget combo 359 363 363 363 363 363 361 360 359 356 355 353 353 351 349 347 347 345 343 343 341 340 338 338 337 335 335 333 333 332 332 330 329 END

Roll #3:

q281 honey, hopeful con, -forget Assumptions: the classic fern palm stat combo, previous tests with honey scent have not been so good though. +1 db: q273 (-8) +2: q260 +3: q250 240 233 226 220 216 211 208 204 201 199 196 194 192 190 188 187 ENDING

Roll #4: Please be pine. q624 citrus hopeful end, -clumsy Taken for quality testing.

-clumsy is negative dex
