  Scaling

  The Logistic Scaling for Elusiveness and Rarity are similar, with both having a midpoint of Estimated Angler Crab Population of 25000 and a scaling factor of -1/5000. The difference is that Elusiveness scales to a maximum value of 100, while Rarity scales to a maximum value of 7000. Elusiveness E scales with crab popuation C with the following formula: $E=100\times {\frac {1}{1+e^{\frac {C-25000}{5000}}}}$ Rarity R scales with crab popuation C with the following formula: $R=7000\times {\frac {1}{1+e^{\frac {C-25000}{5000}}}}$ Values at select breakpoints:

  Crabs Left	50000	40000	35000	30000	25000	20000	15000	10000	0
  Elusiveness	1	5	13	27	50	73	88	95	99
  Rarity	47	332	834	1883	3500	5117	6166	6668	6953
