Shade Pauldrons

Fixed stats

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

Extra stats: 1 of 24 on soul binding

Chance = how often each stat appears among the 1 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 1 draw, 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 Passive_EnchantEffect (ItemEquipSubstatSkill).

Enhance to +5

From the item's enhance table (Enchant_Common_13). Expected values and percentiles are our calculation, counting the "+X% on failure" bonus the game adds after each failed try.

How to get Shade Pauldrons

The sources the game lists for this item (its acquisition routes), and the monsters whose reward tables drop it, best chance per kill first.

Quest and achievement rewards: Shade Pauldrons

From the quests' reward tables (QuestReward, QuestClassReward) and the journal's achievement steps (AchievementReward). A bonus roll is a reward package: each of its slots comes up on its own (RewardPackage, out of 100,000,000) and then gives one item by weight (RewardPackageItem). Chance per completion = 1 − Π(1 − slot chance × weight) over the slots that hold the item — our calculation.

Decompose

Costs 1,000 Kinah. Every group in the item's DecomposeResultItemGroup gives its package (RewardDecomposePackage, one per enhance level); amounts are added up.
