I did a series of improves on woven fences and determined the following formulas for improving woven fences with wood scraps:

  • scrapQL: Quality of the wood scrap used for the improve action
  • fenceQL: Quality if the fence before improving
  • skill: Carpentry skill. At low skill the effective skill appears to be 1.36 * real skill (tested on test with 4-8 carpentry skill)
  • maxQL: best Quality you can ever reach with the skill and the specific wood scrap
  • inc: best increment possible with the skill and the specific wood scrap

maxQL = (skill + scrapQL) / 2;

inc = (maxQL - fenceQL) / 5;

If the fenceQL is already higher than maxQL you'll get the message You cannnot improve the fence with that item and your knowledge

Example: Using 1.58QL wood scraps and 81.52 carpentry skill the maximum QL a woven fence can be improved to is 41.55QL. After improving the fence 10 times it reached 37.36QL. After 20 improve actions it reached 41.10QL and 41.40QL after 25 and 41.50QL after 30 improves.

  • Exact scrap QL: 1.576906 (determined from creating 3 unfinished fences)
  • Exact skill 81.510471-81.522926

The determined error for the maxQL was less than precision of the reported carpentry skill.
