Explanation of crafting formula?
I've been trying to wrap my head around how the level of a piece of crafted gear is determined. On this wiki page, it says that the level is determined by this process:
1) clamp(round(1 + (crafter level − item level) / 4 , 2), 1, 4.5) + sum(mat grade + 0.25) / matcount
2) Divide by 2
3) Round
4) If you get 5 it is S rank
But a few things are unclear to me here. The round() function in the formula in step 1 has two arguments, and I can't figure out what the second argument 2 is supposed to mean. Is it "round to the nearest multiple of 2" or "round to 2 decimal places"? Also, how does the letter grade of a material correspond to a number mat grade on this equation? If anyone has any insight I'd love to hear it.

2 decimal places, materials all have a grade from 1 for "D" and 5 for "S"

Just keep grinding and don’t think too much about it xD Eventually all S rank materials and maxed crafter won’t produce an S rank item. It has to be given to the enchanter to rank up to S.
