Discounts
Just added the missing bonus by using my calculator. (Tezexlo 11:59, 8 December 2008 (UTC))


 * It seams, the Bonus is always rounded down, can anybody confirm it? I'll fill in the missing data then. (--Tezexlo 14:05, 9 December 2008 (UTC))

Discounts are being applied as compound [(100% - research bonus%) * (100% - building bonus%)] instead of as a cumulative bonus [100% - research bonus% - building bonus%]. I.e. If you have spirit level and a level 10 carpentry then you get a discount of (100% - 14%) * (100% - 10%) = 86% * 90% = 77.4% (instead of 100% - 14% - 10% = 76%). The building graphics show a cumulative bonus so this is thought to be a bug but still requires confirmation by a forum administrator.

On my server, Carpentry is hard capped at Level 32.

If this is widespread, it should be noted in the article. Martynius16:10, January 23, 2009
 * That may have been a bug at the beginning but now they are Cumulative as with the other researches I.e. If you have spirit level and a level 10 carpentry then you get a discount of (100% - 14% - 10%) = 76%. -- 14:41, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Max Reduction
I like the addition of the Max Reduction figures to this table, however this has been applied incorrectly to the figures. For example, you cannot have the MR of 54% applied to level 1 of the carpenter as a level 32 carpenter is required and you can only have 1 per building.

A more useful version would apply the MR in a meaningful way. I.E. the full 76% for level 1, 75% for level 2, 74% for level 3, etc. 07:04, November 15, 2009
 * I would tend to agree with you on this statement other than to state that it would take too much formula coding to the template - it is easier (and a good reference point to give as a general goal idea) to show .54 reduction on all levels instead of trying to show this number on that level and that number on this level etc. -- 20:42, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * We have, since the original posting on this topic, separated the Raw template into 2 separate templates Raw and Raw2 and that has made it easier to now post the individual "Self Reduction" numbers as well and not post the "Max Reduction" where they should not apply. -- 14:36, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
