Masterwork items, when masterworked, gains a bonus to stats. The bonus to stats is either 1%, 2% or 3% of the base stats. Yes it's random. Yes it's in KTera. There was a post about how to calculation masterwork/lux'd stats, and one of the factors is whether you got the, 1%, 2%, or 3% bonus.

The difference between the two swords of the OP is exactly 2% of the base stat. Attack modifier is also increased by 3% per level of enchant.


In other words, Celaeris knows more about Tera than the forum moderators do. This is why he is in our guild and we loves him. <3

For masterwork items, when you seal and unseal an item you have a chance to either get a 1%, 2% or 3% attribute bonus. This is why ya'll are seeing differences in the base stats and attributes.

When we were digging into this more, we found that some weapons don't have a 1% bonus, but instead only do 2% or 3%. We've started tracking this as a bug and BHS is looking into it now.

Thanks,

Hey Charger, I'm so glad that this game and EME has detailed information on how all of this works so that your playerbase can understand it before sinking hundreds of hours in time and gold. Glad that forum posts from confused players aren't the norm around here and that proactive communication and info are always available.

Once you masterwork an item, do you have to use the intricate scroll to seal and reseal or is common scroll enough?


Someone please answer this question.

Ouch... to put in RNG at the penultimate step of making an end game item... really? So after you go through all the trouble of getting a +12 you still risk ranging from 2% to 3% bonus (for now) on the base stats? As was mentioned previously, trying to fine-tune your item to square off a +3% bonus will be another 1700g/attempt!

To shed some more RNG on this, listen to this.

+8 MW Fracture and Sever - I rewrap it for stats,

First try (the number is parathesis is the additional enchanting bonus)

1. (691)
2. (671)
3. (822) -- I obviously stopped here because of the huge difference.

Of course there was some repeats of the numbers but can anyone explain this??? This is purely using MW enigmatic scrolls/intricate id scrolls.

So to that Mod that said weapons can only be 2 or 3% is completely talking BS or maybe there is 2, 3, 4%?

Anyone?

Sorry, after relooking after everything, thank god i took screenshots...

1. (791)
2. (761)
3. (822)

All by a different of 30 which if the base is 3050
1. 3050 * 02% = 61
2. 3050 *01% = 30.5
3. 3050 *0.3% = 91.5

So subtracting the bonus from all these numbers leave a base of 730/8 (weapon is currently at +8) = 91.25 per enchanting level.

So my question is, at the end of the day, this is really only a 30 attack bonus from 1% to 2%, to 3%.

Stats would be more important than making sure your MW is optimized at 3% it would be smarter to go for good stats as these are (% modifiers)

Input?

Firstly, awesome work on the necro, after the first necro. As for the % bonus, yes its worth [filtered] all and should only be gone after when you are in the best gear that is fully enchanted already.
