Subject more details on the EQ upgrade
I know that as players you can't see the "rating" on a specific piece of gear, but these tables should give you an idea as to how much the gear was upgraded. Non-Trans EQ : level rat0 rat1 rat2 rat3 rat4 90 24/24 27/28 30/32 33/36 36/40 92 30/28 33/32 36/36 39/40 42/44 94 36/32 39/36 42/40 45/44 48/48 96 42/36 45/40 48/44 51/48 54/52 98 48/40 51/44 54/48 57/52 60/56 100 54/44 57/48 60/52 63/56 66/60 --- Trans EQ : level rat0 rat1 rat2 rat3 rat4 90 4/4 7/8 10/12 13/16 16/20 92 6/4 9/8 12/12 15/16 18/20 94 8/4 11/8 14/12 17/16 20/20 96 10/4 13/8 16/12 19/16 22/20 98 12/4 15/8 18/12 21/16 24/20 100 14/4 17/8 20/12 23/16 26/20 --- Effective OPs from Trans EQ : (This is important because even though a level 100 item with rating 0 only had 4 OPs previously, and 14 now, the bonus with the tattoo mechanics put the effective bonus at 44 - previously and 54 - now). level rat0 rat1 rat2 rat3 rat4 90 24/34 27/38 30/42 33/46 36/50 92 30/36 33/40 36/44 39/48 42/52 94 36/38 39/42 42/46 45/50 48/54 96 42/40 45/44 48/48 51/52 54/56 98 48/42 51/46 54/50 57/54 60/58 100 54/44 57/48 60/52 63/56 66/60 So in a lot of cases you'll see that the effective bonus on trans EQ has gone up quite significantly. Although we don't have a catalog of exactly what changes were made on all of the items we updated (we manually updated almost 600 items), we did try to follow some guidelines. 1. Remove negative stats from items (in most cases) 2. If there were still OPs available, use them to upgrade existing stats. For example on the "Luminary" gear, a lot of times we only had enough OPs for +8 INT, etc. You should see more "+19" now. 3. Add more AC / Saves to items with any other OPs left These are guidelines, not rules. But it should explain why you don't just see something like +40 to your damroll.
