Elder Longsword

Fixed stats

"Of the best" compares each stat with the highest value among all longswords the global client ships art for.

Extra stats: 3 of 16 on soul binding

Chance = how often each stat appears among the 3 drawn, from the game's weights (RandomWeight), assuming draws without repeats — our calculation, not a game screen. Each drawn stat rolls a value between min and max.

Skill effects on soul binding

The item makes up to 3 draws, each landing with a 20% chance (SubStatSkillSelectProb, out of 10,000); a draw that lands adds levels to one skill of the wearer's class, picked by the weights of Active_EnchantEffect (ItemEquipSubstatSkill).

Enhance to +10

From the item's enhance table (Enchant_Legend_23). Expected values and percentiles are our calculation, counting the "+X% on failure" bonus the game adds after each failed try.

Chance per kill counts equipment packages too (package chance × the item's weight inside). In 10 kills = 1 − (1 − chance)¹⁰; avg. kills = 1 ÷ chance; kills for 90% = ln(0.1) ÷ ln(1 − chance), rounded up. 99 monsters drop it in all; the best 12 are shown.

Decompose

Costs 4,000 Kinah. Every group in the item's DecomposeResultItemGroup gives its package (RewardDecomposePackage, one per enhance level); amounts are added up.
