    Are you possibly getting mixed up w/ a Seeker's buff? A seeker can buff your weapon w/ defense or attack levels, which (I believe) should show up on your character info menu.

    No. It had a thread a while back before earthguard where certain players would notice they had an extra 1 attack/defense level on characters across their account.

    Whether it's just a display glitch or if the causes, I've never bothered to test and I don't know of anyone who has bothered to look for it either.

    This has also happened to me. Next time that it does I'll be sure to take an SS and then give you all my pw calc. I had lots of my faction mates look at my gear just trying to figure out how I got the extra attack and defense lvl. I was not given any buffs, no runes, and no seeker buffs in my wep.

    People tend not to notice things that add to their atk/def levels, like cube neck, warsong belt, teacher/school ring, or seeker buffs.

    Disregard seeker buffs, ornaments, etc. There still is a 1 attack 1 defense level that seems almost randomly given to everyone, at a certain time. I think thats the question..

    There was a topic about this before: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=824352

    I've had this happen and it is a real bug. I don't know how to reproduce it and I'm not sure if it's just display thing or not.

    Yep this rings a bell. I remember posting in that thread too about a mysterious attack level.

    Use a tidal wafer and it will give you the 1 attack and 1 defence till you log off, however I havent noticed an increase to damage with it on, I have SSes with no gear on and 1 attack/1defence level.

    I am sure there are other ways to get it to appear but the wafer method works 100% for me so I tend to just stick with it.
