Is that really worse? Well, there are fewer superiors, but vastly more legendaries, magnificents and exquisites, and nothing below average. The superior factor for difficulty might need a slight tweak, but otherwise I'd say that's a pretty damn big improvement.

Is that so? Well, I can say from my experience that I've gotten about 90-95% or more superior and average equipment.

Why not increase the exquisite chance and lower the superior and average drops on higher difficulties? Actually, average should be killed off completely from being dropped on IWBTH and PFUDOR.

a Peerless is therefore simply a perfect Legendary.)

So why do some people request super-peerless in this thread then? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

So what happens if I buy an item that is lvl 350, There is no way to make its lvl go up? Will that item equal my lvl if its Soulbound?

It would be nice if your Forge Upgrade Level had some effect on all this stuff.

I guess there wont be an option in Item World to lvl up gear like there use to be a long time ago.

Do we really need the existence of something like suffixless equipment?
Might as well default to credit drop or another kind of item roll instead of generating that.

Because a so-called-peerless equipment might not have all available PABs.

It would scale to lv 350 unless you make it Soulbound. And if you make it Soulbound, it becomes untradeable.

Hm, something weird(maybe bug):
I completing for fun item world for this, and found that on PFUDOR diff PXPmultiplier - x15, but on IWBTH - x16 (btw on NINTENDO x10). Maybe need x20 on PFUDOR?

Newbies gotta wear something.

But it says:

For example, when the system generates a gear of type Legendary, it will now always have three primary attribute bonuses (assuming the gear type has three possible PABs), and every stat is rolled between 85% and 100% of the allowed range. (Legendary equipment can now roll the highest stat possible; a Peerless is therefore simply a perfect Legendary.)

So it should have EVERYTHING, no?

But it says:

Peerless is just a name same as crude or average.

The peerless before 0.82 is even weaker than some of the legendary after 0.82.

So DO NOT believe peerless means invincible.

Okay, something is really wrong or it's on purpose.

Health Draught pot now restores less health than Tier 3 Regen. With Potions it used to regenerate 15x my current amount, which is 64 health per turn on Tier 2 ability. That is completely ridiculous even on normal difficulty. Not to mention the bug I mentioned few pages back where I had the Health Pots ability on Tier 4 where it regenerated 82 health per turn. Someone told me not to reset it, but it's useless when it doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

Because a so-called-peerless equipment might not have all available PABs.

Speaking of which, anyone got any "new" Legendary/Peerless grade Cotton/Phase with 3 PAB?

Newbies gotta wear something.

Lv.400 Average Axe for a Lv.10 Newbie. Nice logic. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

So it should have EVERYTHING, no?

Loophole in logic. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

mana points is using up too fast, draught recovery too slow. Is it just me?

No, that was the idea. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

What do you do when you have no mana with a dark stick?

Smack n Focus. That's why my stick was leveled up to a level 10.
But you'll have a smack-back problem if your difficulty level is too high. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Holy/dark is unplayable now

Well, I still can do 20 rounds' PFUDOR Arena at least.

First time I log in to play random battle and be dead at 1st hit
And it was because I don't equip anything at all

But there's a good side: someone'll get a bonus from its pet. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So, this is why I've been gathering equipment stats over the last few months. Literally every single patch, people complain that after the patch, they only get shit compared to before. So let's look at the numbers shall we.

Looking specifically at the drop stats for random encounters at PFUDOR difficulty, I'm seeing:

Pre-patch, everyone:

CODE

+-------------+----------+-------+
| q           | count(*) | pct   |
+-------------+----------+-------+
| Peerless    |        4 |  0.00 |
| Crude       |      146 |  0.03 |
| Legendary   |      391 |  0.08 |
| Fair        |     3611 |  0.77 |
| Magnificent |     4678 |  0.99 |
| Exquisite   |    66776 | 14.17 |
| Average     |   104082 | 22.09 |
| Superior    |   291554 | 61.87 |
+-------------+----------+-------+

Post-patch, everyone:

CODE

+-------------+----------+-------+
| q           | count(*) | pct   |
+-------------+----------+-------+
| Peerless    |        1 |  0.02 |
| Legendary   |       52 |  1.25 |
| Magnificent |      245 |  5.91 |
| Exquisite   |      762 | 18.39 |
| Average     |     1530 | 36.92 |
| Superior    |     1551 | 37.43 |
+-------------+----------+-------+

Yours is a very small sample size, with just 10 RE higher-difficulty drops after the patch, so you shouldn't conclude anything quite yet.
No, the internal drop counter.

Yeah, I've gotten a Legendary and Magnificent from two different random encounters today. In the past, this would have been absolutely astounding.

However, the Leg Leather (despite having a pxp of 366) is not even worth salvaging and will probably just be sold to the equipment shop. The Mag, a Magnificent Reinforced Buckler of Protection, only had two PABs whereas pre-patch it would have likely had three and was at least beneficial in the sense of netting me a High Grade Wood... presuming that acting as a Dark mage becomes within the next four or five months.

P.S. the Soul Fragment drop counters seem to working on my end - under the current rules schema this plus the theoretically boosted rate of Leg drops somewhat soften the blow... though there should be a means to "UN-fuse" an item for say 500K to 1MM Credits

You wrote that much, and yet you didn't write about this:
Legendary Hallowed Katalox Staff of Focus (32.53% Mana Conservation! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) )
Very interesting information! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Won't happen. It has possible abuse for FoS holders. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Does difficulty affect fragment drop chance?

I like this release quite a bit. Thanks for the update!

So it should have EVERYTHING, no?

Some gear types have more than 3 possible PABs.

Think there was some stat alteration to more than just the Mana Conversation, compare it to this pre-patch pxp 354 Legendary Katalox Staff of Focus. In the past, the difference between 354 and 358 was usually not so great. It would be interesting if the boost to non-slaughter damage that was also seemingly applied to staves was instead applied to Magical Damage rather than Physical.

As for Un-fusing, I should have clarified for non-lottery / FoS stuff.
