+# To Magic Weapons???

Post by wyvern35 »

I am seeing a lot of magic weapons with +# as their description. What does this number mean and how is such a number calculated? Any previous post would be superb as a reference too... I just couldnt find one while searching.

I think its just the lazy way of saying this weapon adds a tactics bonus without being specific for some reason.

It's not lazy. It's hard to remember whether eminently accurate adds +15 or +20, versus exceedingly, or surpassingly accurate. So people try to save the buyer the headache and spell it out for them.

oh I thought he meant literally +# that people just forgot/were too lazy to tell what each modifier was.

yeah +25 or whatever is the norm and player friendly add and then the number is a tactics bonus.

I always just type what is on the id'd weapon. I don't want any confusion or chance of mistake on my part.

ID it, Equip it, then type out; i.e. +20 Vanq Hallly and if it has any kind of weapon durability or hit spell/para/etc, you add that. I.e. Substantial, +20 Vanq Katana w/26 Ghoul's Touch charges.

NOOBS! :p

Bah, they can figure it out lol. I just think it's better as the seller to be completely clear about what the item is. Personal preference, not inability to decode the sophisticated system of weapon/armor enhancements. :P

Eh, I tend to disagree on this one. I too, am new to UOSA and haven't played T2A in many years. I didn't know what the numbers meant as well, researched it on UOSA's wiki, and felt it really is easier to type out the +#.

People are generally after 2 things, whether or not it's Power/Vanquish and how much +Tactics it has-Anything else is just added bonus.
