Hi, wondering if i were to fight a 150 boss using a g13 weapon vs g14 assuming the weapon damage on both were the same, would the grade difference make g14 do more damage? If not what exactly do weapon grades do? thanks in advance. b:victory

    Depends on, build refines and shardings (armor and weapon).

    Yes, because people really need 900+ dex or 1000+ magic just for the lulz

    the grades define the refine rate *normally*

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    The only thing equipment grade directly affects is the cost of adding sockets and which grade of shards you are allowed to imbue.

    In general higher equipment grade has higher base stats and a higher refining bonus but there are lots of exceptions to this.

    mkay but 150 bosses nerf damage you deal to it, would a higher grade result in a lighter nerf? i should have made that more clear lol

    No, 150 bosses always have a 75% damage reduction regardless of weapon.

    Oh from my earlier reply, I misread your post. No if both weapons have the same damage, then there is no difference on a per hit basis. It is the refines and shards you add to them that will unbalance that. If you add - int to one of those weapons then the dps will change.
