Today's goal: more weapons!

Find a way to translate the EC stat boosts to RPG Maker. elem potential boost can just be elemental damage on basic hit.

can likely ignore Heal Stat, as that works through a combination of m.Atk and m.def in RPGM

I think the specific poin value boosts can go in flat increases, the "ATK BOOST 1" modifiers can be percentage based. say, 5% each stack? ATK would split that between physical and magical evenly.

Not sure what to do with the flat rates of atk, matk, heal...fuck it, let's just throw it in and see what happens.

So Jiggy Fam would be 547 atk, 573 matk, Quaga (obv), +46 matk, Earth damage, and +10% matk...we'll try that out.

Note: Looks like we can't boost the damage rate of specific elements...think I might ignore element potential boosts in equipment, unless theres a specific elemental damage in the equipment attack. then basic attacks with that weapon will have said element.

However, found a special parameter called Pharmacology in rpgm (who knew?) that adjusts healing efficacy. Heal pot. can go there; Pharm boost % = Heal stat in ever crisis/10.

All associated Skills are also input and attached to their respective weapons.

Damage has spiked CONSIDERABLY with the new stat modifiers input. That makes sense, as these are scaled to max level and rarity weapons. 

As such, bosses should have TONS of HP, attack and defense to compensate. Mobs can have less, to present a slightly lower challenge (this seems obvious now that I write it down). 

Goal for mobs - 2 to 3 turns of combat (25k-40k range of hp). 

Goal for bosses - upwards of 10, significant chance of failure. (100k+ hp)
