Weapons and essences

Post by Griefmaker » Thu Jun 01, 2017 6:48 pm

Hey all,

I just wanted to verify something since the Wiki has a question mark regarding it and I have seen conflicting instances IG in regards to weapons and essences.

Per the wiki:
The cost of an item is determined the moment it is generated (?). Even if the item is enchanted, upgraded, essenced, or changes owner, the requirement will remain exactly the same.

Is this true? I have seen essenced damask and greensteel IG with a level requirement of 16 instead of 13, so if my character were to get a Masterly Steel sword (level 10 requirement) and put an essence on it, the level requirement would increase? I know that is how it used to be, but I seem to recall that it is supposed to work as the wiki states.

Thanks!

Some items were already enchanted before the script that assigns item level restrictions was put into place. Any essences that were used on weapons after the point when that update was put in place should not affect the ILR for the weapon.
