Enhance/Refiner Quality % Bug after update

    According to Saintone's Thread,

    Refinement % on many other gears (e.g. Vicarious Calling weapon) have been scrambled as well, and it's strictly a visual change. You can refine these items, you just won't know what % they were previously unless you memorized them before the maintenance.

    I thought it was safe, as it was supposedly a visual change.


    Being curious if I could enhance my +8 weapon (previously roughtly 93% with 7650~ atk) to a "true 100%" (around 7760 atk), I decided to reroll my guitar.


    Example of a "real 100%"

    However after rerolling my own weapon, this is the result:

    It does not go any higher from the nearly 100 times I tried enhancing.


    Considering my guitar had around 7650 attack before, i just lost nearly 200 attack that I can never regain, not to mention the 30m+ on refiners and nearly 200k aethar that was spent on this...


    I don't know if this is fixable, but it's definitely something to be wary of.

    Someone mentioned in another post on enhancement that the attack range was modified to be lower on the weapon during the last patch. In fact, when I checked the crafter NPC, it seems like almost all the lv 55 weapon ranges seem to have changed.

    I made a post about this the other day. Its true the attack ranges of all the 55 set weapons were nerfed from 1513 to 1450 roughly but existing weapons were not affected. I believe the exact point is 84% old quality is now 100%. So if your weapon was 84 or greater before you shouldn't refine


    So it's not actually a visual bug at all

    if it shows 100%, it's really a random value between 99.50% and 100.00%, the game rounds the values.

    A true 100% weapon should have +35% more attack compared to a 0% weapon.

    They do, however that's based on the new range of 1452-1959 instead of the old one wich was 1512-2041. They changed that recently and since than, when you refine your weapon or craft a new one, this new range is beeing applied. They didn't change already existing weapons though wich is why many weapons changed from 85%+ to 100% after that patch. Wether this is wanted or not, it's an undeniable disadvantage for new players.

    Are they going to fix this?

    They might fix it if this was a bug-report instead of a discussion-topic.

    This means my sword crafted at the beginning of the game at 100% is essentially a masterly version of current crafted blueprint swords, nice to know lol.

    Question now being, was the range of the weapons being changed intentional or not?
