Hello.
I have created an excel-based imbue calculator. In 2010 I decided to provide it to the public. Please send this to your friends. I want anyone who is able to use it, consider it a gift. To keep this thread clean, please remove any comments/questions that have been addressed and put your opinion of the file on the download thread under the correct version.

Functions:
Calculates imbuing intensities and ingredients for jewelry, armor, weapons, shields.
Calculates reforging intensities for jewelry, armor, weapons, and shields.
Calculates runic kit mods by denoting "Text ##" instead of "##" under crafted column.
Calculates total suit properties (includes a place for non-imbued items/artifacts to be added).
Tabulates necessary imbuing ingredients (assuming 100% success rate).
Tabulates prices based on user-input prices (assuming 100% success rate).

Features:
Pre-loaded artifacts for your use.
Drop down menu's for armor type, weapon speed, +skill, etc.
Variable drop down lists to aid in future artifact additions.
Named cells for easier formulas.
Error trapping by highlighting cells in RED.

Tools - Zolafs Imbuing Calculator
I recommend saving this to an "Ultima Online" folder or just the file on your desktop for easy access.

Miscellaneous:
Note that I would prefer you download it at the link provided. If you would prefer to accept the file via icq or email you may contact me at 275-149-026 or [email protected].

k) Added "Ranged (Gargoyle)" and "Melee (Gargoyle)" to the weapons tab and the necessary modifications. This is in its Beta Stage. If you should find an error please let me know.

b) Added an "Artifact" Tab in order to make entering the Non-Imbue items easier. You can copy and paste the mods from this tab and paste them onto the "Non-Imbued" Tab.

e) Corrected some misspellings throughout (thanks Kilroy!).
f) Fixed a slight error in the armor resistance intensity calculation.
g) Corrected an error when Velocity of 1-10 is used.

i) Fixed the gem and main ingredient for the dex increase on the ring and brace tabs.
j) Fixed the gem and main ingredient for the intel increase on the ring and brace tabs.

Version 8.0: 7/22/2012
a) Fixed issue with max Hit/Defense Chance Increase for Ranged weapons to 25. Also fixed ingredient to include Fungi. Adjusted all amounts and prices on affected tabs.
b) Instead of adding more and more artifacts, a "User Favorites" section was created on teh "Artifacts" tab. It was placed at the top, for easy access.
c) Changed the "totals" tab to reflect ("Need"-"Have") rather than doing nothing when you input a value.
d) Changed the armor titles if gargoyle or human is selected from the drop down menu located on th e"How To" Tab. This required adding a few more error catches.
e) Added enhancing armor and shields that occur AFTER imbuing.
f) Added some error trapping on misc. tabs.
g) Added a crafted option to jewelry so it doesnt assume its always imbued.
h) Added a cell on the "Totals" tab to reflect a maximum durability for each piece. Type "0" if you do not want to use Powder of Fortification on your suit.

Version 9.0: 7/10/2013
a) Complete Redesign of Coding and Resources. To be honest I started from scratch.
b) Fixed Totals on "Resists" tab if a runic crafted resist is entered.

Photos (Version 9.2 Displayed):
This gives you an idea of what the tool looks like prior to download. I have provided a "simplification" option to hide the ingredients and prices if you so desire.

At long last, version 9.2 is now available for download. Please see the patch notes for all the updates and changes! I did not release 9.1 to the public, so be sure to look back two versions ;).
