Lets say Chimera attack.
25+20+30+35+25+ gear 68= 203. This math shows the attack as 2070.
I did the math of each one. 340*25=408. do this for each one. I got 5638.
I am wondering which math Wiz uses.

They use "real" math

Try with this..

(((((N+25%)+20%)+30%)+35%)+25%)+68%..

AKA

N*1.25*1.20*1.30*1.35*1.25*1.68.

You'll see.

The second one. They compound, not simply add.

If I am understand what you wrote the base attack is 340 and you have blades of +25, +20, +30, +35, +25 and your gear is +68. Since each of these is a percentage it goes like this:

340 * .25 = 85 ( 25% of 340)
340 + 85 = 425 (add the 25% to 340 gives the new attack value)
425 * .20 = 85 (20% of the attack)
425 + 85 = 510 (added on)
510 * .30 = 153
510 + 153 = 663
663 * .35 = 232
663 + 232 = 895
895 * .25 = 223
895 + 223 = 1118
1118 * .68 = 760
1118 + 760 = 1878

My numbers may be off a little because I rounded down each time the number was not a whole number. Without rounding anything it comes out as 1879.605. It doesn't matter in which order they are in, it comes out the same.
