Lethal Pride Calculator Formula

            
The Lethal Pride Jewel’s exact impact is complex, relying on randomization and specific node placement. For calculation purposes, we use a generalized proxy formula linking the number of transformed nodes, the average multiplier, the unique seed, and the desired total increase:


            

                
Simplified Target DPS Formula:

                
$$ \text{Target DPS} = \frac{\text{Nodes} \times \text{Avg Multiplier} \times \log_{10}(\text{Seed})}{100} $$

Variables Explained:

            
    
                
  • Desired Total DPS Increase (%): Your goal: the percentage boost to your damage you want to achieve with the jewel configuration.
    • 
                
  • Total Transformed Nodes (Count): The number of passive skill nodes within the jewel’s radius that are successfully converted into new, beneficial modifiers.
    • 
                
  • Avg DPS Multiplier per Node (Decimal): Your subjective estimate of the average damage benefit (e.g., 1.5 for a 50% damage increase) you gain from each transformed node.
    • 
                
  • Jewel Seed Number (Integer): The number written on the jewel (e.g., 12100). This unique seed determines the exact stats applied to the transformed nodes.

What is the Lethal Pride Jewel in PoE?

            
The Lethal Pride (Karui) Timeless Jewel is an extremely powerful and highly sought-after unique item in Path of Exile. It significantly alters the passive skill tree in a large radius around where it is socketed. Instead of granting standard bonuses, it transforms surrounding passive nodes—including Keystones and notables—into new, unique modifiers centered around a specific Karui chieftain (e.g., Rakiata, Akoya, etc.).

            
The key feature is the Jewel’s “Seed Number.” This number, a value between 1 and 8,000, 16,000, or 32,000 (depending on the type), is what makes the jewel roll unique. Every time a Lethal Pride is socketed, the seed number determines the exact set of passive modifiers applied to the transformed nodes. This randomness leads players to use online tools and simulators to find the “perfect seed” for their build, as the difference between a good and bad seed can be massive.


            
How to Calculate Required Nodes (Example)

            
Suppose you know the seed, the average benefit of each node, and your target DPS, and you need to find the number of nodes required:

            
    
                
  1. Identify Inputs: Target DPS = 150%, Avg Multiplier = 1.25, Seed = 18000.
    2. 
                
  2. Calculate Seed Factor: Determine the logarithmic influence of the seed: $\log_{10}(18000) \approx 4.255$.
    3. 
                
  3. Apply Reverse Formula: Use the inverse formula to isolate Nodes: $$ \text{Nodes} = \frac{\text{Target DPS} \times 100}{\text{Avg Multiplier} \times \log_{10}(\text{Seed})} $$
    4. 
                
  4. Substitute Values: $$\text{Nodes} = \frac{150 \times 100}{1.25 \times 4.255}$$
    5. 
                
  5. Final Result: $$\text{Nodes} \approx 28.2$$ You would need at least 29 transformed nodes to hit your 150% Target DPS goal with these specific jewel parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

            

                
How many total nodes can a Lethal Pride transform?

                
A Lethal Pride Jewel can transform approximately 30-50 passive nodes, depending on its size and where it is socketed in the skill tree.


                
Is the result from this calculator guaranteed in-game?

                
No. This calculator uses a simplified proportional model for predictive analysis. The actual in-game result is determined by complex node location geometry and server-side randomization based on the seed, making real-world results variable.


                
What is the best type of Lethal Pride to buy?

                
The “best” jewel depends entirely on your build. You need to look for a combination of the highest DPS or Life Keystones (like Corrupted Soul or The Traitor) and a seed number that provides beneficial minor node modifiers for your class.


                
Why do I need to input an “Avg DPS Multiplier per Node”?

                
Since the specific modifier on a node changes with the seed, this input acts as a standardized variable to represent the typical statistical value of a transformed node for your character’s needs, allowing the calculation to be performed.
