Delta and Ratio?

This has been marked as a question that needs to be answered.

Delta is usually the change or difference in value of some function over some interval. Ratio is generally some X divided by some Y. What is being compared here? Shouldn't each page have an explanation or a link to an explanation if this is a common statistic? Frankly, I'm baffled. Is it Damage per second for gold expended? Is it Damage per second per pound carried? Is it Damage resisted versus Weight increase compared to the previous level of equipment (steel)? Kalevala 03:19, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Its dollars in vs dollars out. See the following (sorry about the style of the link but I'm not good at those.) ::http://newcontent1.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_talk:Forge the section titled Relative money earning

I tend to agree that this is a very confusing way to do a simple value to value conversion.

0.x would be a loss, 1.0 is equal, x.x (greater than 1.0) is a profit. The red for some in the tables just compounds the confusion. Worse, there is no easy link to an explanation of these tables and what they mean. Just an opinion. Philbert 14:31, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
