    Be there a record of the numbarrr crunchin happenin beneath the surrrface of this Craft called Wynn? Such that us cypherin types might gleen a wee bit of knowledge an understandin o'how this vessel sails?

    Translated from the pirate: So are the mathy bits that run our beloved wynncraft available to the uninitiated? Either by forum or wiki? This old data analyst has questions that would be most easily understood by seeing the algorithms and equations themselves.

    Nope. They are not.

    Some of them have been figured out by extensive testing, but I don't thhave no you can query for the calculations from the API

    Oh, well we only know the code stuff they decide to release or we calculated and for numbers we have the api

    Application Program Interface
    I'm a programmer, so to me it basically means all the unique methods and variables in a language or program.

    Ah. I took enough programming back in the day to be able make an educated guess at what a piece of code is doing, but am not current on lingo or syntax.

    So there's a way to get at this API for us outsiders or are we just going to have to reverse engineer the calculations through experimentation?

    This is the API
    https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/wynncraft-public-api.127085/

    But I don't think you can query for calculations.

    So the API lets you request data from the database(s) behind wynncraft via the web, and those I've looked over look like they're what's feeding data to the website.

    Yeah, potentially useful, but not for seeing the nuts and bolts of how Wynncraft works.

    Actually, the item queries are going to potentially simplify my data pulls for populating my own queriable database for character build research.
