Quick question about "UP'ing"

I'm thinking of finally taking the plunge on this, since this is one of the last cool new things that were added in a patch after I quit before that I haven't gotten to experience.

I just want to clarify one important thing tho 1st.

I know with rolling things in the cube, certain parameters can change. One of them is %E Def bonus, and I'm aware of which items are usually not worth it. I also know that requirements can change, and that certain properties like Ethereal will stay the same.

What I want to know about is %E Damage on weapons. Specifically an Ethereal Hone Sundan spear. If I UP it, does it matter at all what the original %ED was on it, or will that stat get re-rolled upon using the recipe?


Finding one of these is hard enough as is, and I don't want to waste time waiting for a high % one if it doesn't matter in the long run anyways. Thx

Re: Quick question about "UP'ing"

No item mods change with upping, including +% enhanced defense. What happens with armors is that while normally all armors with %Edef have a max base def + 1, the upgraded version will have the base def rolled in the normal range of the upgraded base item. Since the minimum defense of the upgraded base item can often be lower than the maximum of the non-upgraded version you can end up with a lower def upgraded version.

Weapon damage is not variable, so it is not a concern there.
