While you can't imbue it, only reforge it, it does have a weight. I'm trying to figure it out for a discussion on Imbuing weights, but something literally isn't adding up.
The test item is a exceptional (100 Arms Lore, regular shard) leather Gloves.
Casting Focus 2%
Lower Mana Cost 8%
Resists: 9/26/25/20/5
Now, if I go into LMC via the imbuing menu, at 8% the item is showing at 595/500. If LMC was dropped to 1% (the one property that can be altered where exceptional bonuses aren't in play), the weight for the entire item would drop to 498/500.
If I add up the intensities I get:
1. LMC: 110 weight @ 100 intensity
2. Resists: Started with 35 (15 + 20 exceptional/Lore). Total post-reforge is 85.
9 of the 20 Exceptional bonus are in the two resists that didn't get boosted, so don't count toward item imbue weight.
The base (pre-bonuses) of the 3 resists reforged are 4/3/3.
So, does the imbuing weight count the exceptional bonuses or not? Either it's 500 weight (ignoring all 20% added resists), or 610 weight for the 3 modified (which is out of range, from what I can determine - the bonus is supposed to be 20% max)?
I'm going to assume the 500 weight for this, as it's the only one that might make sense, minus the 90 weight for the 9 resists for the ex points in Physical and Energy. for 410.
Total so far: 520.
3. Casting Focus: Here's the problem.
What few online sources I can find suggest the imbuing weight for Casting Focus is 1.2.
However, at 1.2, CF 2% would be 80%
That adds up to 600/500, not 595.
Even at 1.1 weight, that CF 2% would be 73.33 weight. That would have a display in the above example of 593 (maybe 594 if forced to round up for any decimal), not 595. This could be a rounding error, but as CF would be the only one of the 5 properties added that would HAVE a decimal.
Using the 73.33 weight and the 13.75 weight of 1% of 8% LMC (12.5% x 1.1), you get 410+87.8, which would actually round to the 498/500 shown on the imbuing menu if I propose a drop to 1% from the existing 8% LMC.
So, which is the correct imbuing weight when calculating Casting focus on an existing item being imbued to change other properties? 1.1 or 1.2?
