Ok so I know that when you use your merits to upgrade your Strength, Defense, Dexterity, and Speed.. the affect does NOT show up in your stats.

So my question is...does the passive upgrade give you a set amount (like 1,000 stats per upgrade)...OR does the passive upgrade give you a percentage of what your current stat is? So you would get say 3% of that stat per upgrade.

Or is it something completely different?

Thanks again!

Nobody really knows exactly how it works. TCbasic says it gives "about + 5% per upgrade" but that can be deceiving. It is more than likely a multi-variable equation and depending where that bonus sits, it may mean a lot or a little. Also, with so much randomness built into the system it can be hard to notice.

From tcbasic it says this "These increase your stat effects by a certain percent (about + 5% per upgrade)."

From the torn wiki it says this "Note: it is unclear how much of a boost it gives to the passive bonuses."

I'm going to lean closer to say it's probably close to 5% per upgrade. Just because it sounds like a good number.

Yea I figured it would be somewhere from 2.5-5% upgrade.

I bet that it is a multi-variable equation; probably the percentage is greater when you are a lower level than of when you are a higher level. For instance..as your stat increases the affect it has decreases while still leaving you ahead of where you would be. This would help deter larger players from getting huge amounts with one upgrade due to their very high stats.

makes no sense.

for once new players don't have enough merits to fully use it.
older players would have huge amount of merits stuck for just a little advantage.

it must be a simple percentage, old or new.
