Artifact Weapons 2x RP always bonus seem broken.

I tested a Cleric Teak Suljan Mainhand Weapon that Rank 16 currently; then drop a Rank 35 Burning Mainhand into it. This during the 2x RP event even though they always supposed to give 2x RP, and yet the Rank 35 Burning only increase the Blue Teak from Rank 16 to Rank 33 and still Blue Rare.

I realize slightly higher Gear Score weapons will have slightly more RP per rank, but given the Drowned supposed to give 2x. You'd just expect given the matching mainhand is 2x and the bonus is 2x it be slightly higher... perhaps this isn't a bug as much as a moonstone tooltip revision.

You'd think it get closer to 35 from an Epic weapon that starts with a new weapon at Rank 16 Rare?

Hmm... I realize Artifact Weapons like Rank 35 Epic weapons previously invested 571k of total RP to get it there... and even with the doubling of similar type and 2x RP it won't quite give a 1:1 transfer all previous refinement.

Edit (My Error was my first weapon I did correctly having gotten the new weapon to Rank 20 before dropping the Epic) but my 2nd I started at only 16 not 20 and that was likely what caused my confusion.

    You suppose it should be more RP? I guess we found the error.

    A level 16 weapon would be at roughly 50k total RP (not value, total RP to get to that level). A level 35 Weapon would be at a value of 114k RP (value, IE what it is worth when fed into another item of a non matching type.)

    114k x2 for matching slot (228k), then double for matching slot (456k). So this would put your weapon that was level 16, up to roughly level 33.

    Don't mistake double for 100% of RP value.

    I realize now I had my first weapon set at Rank 20 before dropping the old Epic weapon into it. That was why the first matched with my original expectation as I forget to drop a few extra stones after upgrading it to Rare before unequipping the Epic weapons..

    Was up late opening all refinement bags and dropping them into artifacts, enchantments, artifact gear, etc... etc... by the time I got to this I was a late night the early morning. So not really a BUG just slight confusion. :)

    No matter I've got 2 of the weapons ready to upgrade to Legendary now so I'm all good.
