Can anyone provide rank , total health, att/def sample data ? I just need like 3-4 different rank ranges (not to close) and I can estimate any rank. Also the wiki doesn't have any samples for this npc.

I will hit rank 185 soon, i am rank 173, i can provide data then.

I'm on the mission. I'll keep you updated as I level up. Currently Rank 192. Will report back with stats.

ADDED THIS TO THE WIKI.

And it's not that hard of an NPC

5.73-5.75 def multiplier, for reference the tech collector is 9.0. So it doesnt have massive def. It's health multiplier is higher tho for its rank, 235 vs. 140 for tech collector, unless its a fixed health for some reason I am not sure. It's a 7-shot minimum, but it can take up to 15 and still be better than a flamehawk, so it might be worth keeping in the mix given its lower defense rate/rank. Anyone see it with more than 3200 health ?

So this has 50% more health but takes about 50% more damage, however for "similar overall shot difficulty" the drannik archivist yields 75xp vs. the 20xp of a tech collector, so it is in fact worth it.

Updated

Rank 195
Attack: 1120
Defense: 1120
Total Health: 3200

Rank 202
Attack: 1160
Defense: 1160
Total Health: 3600

Rank 215
Attack: 1240
Defense: 1240
Total Health: 3600

Rank 1500 projection:

total health = 9200 , att/def = 8625. damcap = 3750

my attack = 14000 (average hit = 15866 effective randomization). tanh(15866 / (8625*5)) = 0.352 of damage cap = 1320 damage. 700 min / 1940 max, approx. 9200/1320 = 7 shots average (6-8, almost always).

8 shots for 75xp = 1.875 xp kill bonus + 2.1 xp base attack xp = 3.975 effective low xp ratio for drannik archivist.
7 shots for 75xp (average) = 4.24 xp ratio (average).

So you can see why I wish I had this thing enabled. Of course, I would not be drannik race if that were the case, but with Konqul I would get decent attack here, in which case my average would be 8 shots +/- 1 instead (still about 4.0 xp ratio).
