Grand Spectrum, Math is wrong.

Cool jewels that LiftingNerdBro presented, but wtf on that formula? That's not even close to how the jewel describes it works. Should be Value of the jewel * number of Grand Specs used. Where the hell does the third multiplication come from and how does that make any sense?

The jewels say x per Grand Spectrum used.

LiftingNerdBro stated that the formula is:
value of jewel * number of that type of grand spectrum jewels * number of total grand spectrum jewels

With the formula he provided, using 10x of the 75 armor jewel would be as follows:

75 * 10 * 10 which would be 7500 armor.

The wording states 75 per grand spectrum, but you are actually getting 750 per grand spectrum. That is not math, it's wrong in so many ways :S

EDIT: After reading a few replies the light came on, thanks all for replies :)

He had 7 Armour gems and 3 other in his scenario. I believe his math is mathical.
Assuming that they all do stack, then each Grand Spectrum Jewel (If you had 10 Armour ones) would be giving you 75x10 Armour, so, 10 of them would be 7,500 total.

I don't see the problem myself.
Each jewel says it's value is based on the number of jewels. If you have a jewel that says 75 armour per jewel and you have 2 jewels installed, that one jewel gives 150 armour.

The issue is that the remaining 3 gems that would need to make up a total of 7500 MUST be armour gems and they are not. DONE DEAL.
The math makes sense to me.

Each jewel gives 75 armour multiplied by the number of grand spectrum jewels.

He had 10 jewels but only 7 were armour ones.

Each armour jewel has the total value of 75 x 10 which is 750.

and he has 7 of those armour jewels, so 750 x 7 = 5250.
OP post, math AND logic is wrong.

His formula is for the total stats gained. You're thinking per jewel gain.

The problem with the video is the weird way he did the math, but not the math itself.

Instead of going the normal way of saying:
75 armor x 10 jewels total = 750 armor per jewel, x3 armor jewels = 2250

He said something more like
75 armor x 3 armor jewels = 225 base armor per total of 3 armor jewels x10 total jewels = 2250.

His math was right, but his train of thought was like reversed.

Actually his train of thought is the right way around. You are reversing it.

There's 2 things going on with the jewels. First is the completely normal behavior you would expect if you had more than 1 of anything identical. It would give you it's stats times however many you have.

That's the normal part and it is what should be considered 1st.

So, if you have 7 armor jewels and 3 mana, and you want to figure out the armor bonus you would 1st do the regular behavior bit: 7 armor jewels X 75 Armor = 525 Armor

Second, you consider the special behavior of this class of jewel. And that's the "per Grand Spectrum". And that bit means multiply by however many you have, regardless of type. In this case we have 10.

So, part two is times 10. Which gives 525 x 10 = 5250 for the total armor bonus.

For mana, it would be 1st, how many mana jewels times their individual bonus which is 15 mana X 3 = 45 mana. Second, we factor in the special property for another factor of 10 since we have 10 total Grand Spectrum jewels giving 450 mana.

That's the logical way of thinking about it.
