Stereo Wrote:The items get a subtitle under the name, Rare/Epic/Unique. This matches the border colour 1:1. It doesn't matter what the bonuses do, the rank of the item determines its outline.


Need to look at a larger range of identified items, to determine
- if a Unique item can have zero Unique quality bonuses
- if an item can have Rare and Unique bonuses
Since a lot of it is just from what we've seen of KMS, and that's generally the godliest items.

Pretty sure an item can have rare and unique since we see things like +24% (9/9/6). The item is unique overall, meaning it can obtain the unique rank and any rank below it. If an item is epic rank, it can only obtain rare and epic bonuses (0, 1, 2 according to you).

That's how i understand it. So really the bonus an item can have is capped depending on the rank it got.

I've been looking around, but I haven't been able to find the rarity of potential scrolls. How rare are they? Ore? powder? Scroll?

Scroll rates doubled this patch. As I recall, 70% Potential scrolls are as rare as scrolls were in 87-.

Do area bosses at least drop regular potential scrolls? I figure I'll try those

is there any significant bonus between using the premium magnifying glass as opposed to the level limited glasses?

Ok, I'm not crazy, it's really gone. Bring it back so I can print it please, please, please.

I have questions regarding the potential scroll system.

If normal item use potential scroll then have the potential. Then buy the magnifying glass to identify the potential. Am I right?

If rare/epic.unique item, then I do not need to use potential scroll because the potential is already inside. Am I right?

Depending on the level of the equip, you need to use the proper M-glass.

But kind of a waste to use the best M-glass for all levels on a level 15 item. The cost is like x10 the mesos

I'm asking particularly about Unique and Rare bonuses - 6% is an Epic bonus.

Or if a Unique item can have 3x Epic bonuses (6% 6% 6%) and still count as Unique.

You're thinking about it backwards, regardless of the bonuses it gets, it'll still be unique. It's possible that a unique item only gets +6% to each.

The rank determines the possible bonuses it can gets. The bonuses do not determine the rank.

Screenshot evidence please.

I'm pretty sure it's obvious, considering the potential's rank is revealed, before the stats. Wink

And will this items after potential and enhancing them will be able to be traded?

Just to double-check, the status of an item (rare/unique) isn't set in stone, but is a random event that can be reset by the use of a miracle cube? Or if an item is rare it's rare forever, and a cube will only reset the stats it gives.

Supposedly it is not fixed. I'm just unsure as to whether or not the floor goes up only, as in, the rating (rare/epic/unique) can only be the same or better, not worse.

Oww the irony between first and second post Biggrin. Please bring it back Frown.

Not sure if this is known or not, but it was a surprise to me. Enhance scrolls can introduce a new stat to an item. My glove went from 11 atk to 11 atk 1 dex >.>
