The recent addition of the 4-attribute orbs is useful, but presumably conflicts with the "attribute bonus" table at the top that lists the magnitude of "major" and "minor" bonuses. Equipment#Attribute_bonuses uses the terms "medium" and "small" to distinguish the size of the 4-attribute bonuses; perhaps that could somehow be worked in here?

Revamp[edit]

I'm planning to revamp the overview table based on the following:

  • All HoT upgrades are considered to be tier 6 since they all can be mystic forged with core tier 6 orbs and crests.
  • Quartz Crystals should not be considered a gemstone as they do not have any stats, but will be kept in misc. section.
  • Amalgamated Gemstones should not be considered a gemstone as they do not have any stats, but will be kept in misc. section. Historically, these could not be stored in the materials storage.
  • Azurite Crystals and orbs needs it's own category as a Living World item. It was found that these do not drop from IBS Essence chests, nor any HoT gemstones.
  • Passion Flower is considered to be tier 5 since it can be mystic forged with core tier 5 gems and medallions. It should also be put into the Living World category.
  • Doubloons should not be considered a gemstone as they are similar to medallions and crests. Historically, these could not be stored in the materials storage.

Also planning to remove the generic attribute bonus table as it is no longer applies to all upgrades. Could update main/sub stats table with actual numbers.

I am not sure why would you put Azurite items and Passion flowers into Living world category since they are base game items? ~Sime 13:50, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
They were not part of the original core game (at launch):
