View Distance Calculations

Good day!

I had a rather technical question. ARKY and I spoke about this briefly last night but could not come to a solid conclusion. The two questions I have are:

1. What is the maximum View Distance without the Pet Gem and Telescope Castle?
2. Do you have to be in range of the whole square or just part of it to be able to see what is there?

The reason I am asking is because I am trying to calculate if each level of the Telescope Castle makes a difference. I understand that going from Level 0 > 8 would show large changes, but would there be a benefit of levelling from Level 7 > 8? If you need to see the entire square then you may actually not see any further with just a 2% increase.

Thanks,

Having done some testing, the normal default view distance is 50 fields.

With 15% Extra View Distance (10% from the Lookout Level 2 and 5% from the Pet Special Gem), it should give me 7.5 more View Distance. Obviously, as that is not a whole number, it is the rounded down to 7. 50 + 7 = 57, which is the limit of my view distance, once an element is 58 fields away it can not be seen.

Maximum possible view distance is 71.3, which is 71 fields. (12 extra fields from the Telescope Castle, + Percentage Modifiers on that).

As this has been resolved.
