Does anyone know how much STR is Equal to one weapon attack?

∂(Range) / ∂(W.Atk)
∂(Range) / ∂(STR)

= ∂(STR) / ∂(W.Atk)

∂[c/100*(4*STR+DEX)*(W.Atk)] / ∂(W.Atk)
∂[c/100*(4*STR+DEX)*(W.Atk)] / ∂(STR)

c/100*(4*STR+DEX)
c/100*4*(W.Atk)

(4*STR+DEX)
4*WAtk

Oh look. All the constants drop out anyways.

Now try it with the actual damage formula.

range = c / 100 * (4*floor[str*(1+%str)] + floor[dex*(1+%dex)]) * floor[w.atk*(1+%w.atk)]

If you assume the various variables are continuous, and remove the floors, it takes care of most of the problem, and you end up with a similar result. But of course it won't be perfectly accurate cause MS doesn't have continuous damage ranges.
