New Progression:

Each additional tier above T4 will grant additional Item Power in a linear fashion; no more diminishing returns on higher tiers



Each enchantment level always gives a straight 100 IP on top, even for artifact items



Every Artifact Level increases the base item by 25 IP:

Base T4 Dagger has 700 IP (Enchanted Lvl.3 = 1000 IP)

Base T4 Bloodletter has 725 IP (Enchanted Lvl.3 = 1025 IP)

Base T4 Black Hands has 750 IP (Enchanted Lvl.3 = 1050 IP)

Base T4 Deathgivers has 775 IP (Enchanted Lvl.3 = 1075 IP)

For the next content update, we will adjust the Item Power progression for all gear. We want to make high end gear a bit more powerful in order to give better justification for the high cost. Additionally, this will bring the power of artifact items more in line with the regular items, while also increasing the impact of artifact item enchantment. Finally, this will streamline the whole power progression with tiers, artifacts and enchantments, because the current system can be quite confusing for new players.T5 itemsthe update:T5 itemsthe update:T8 itemsthe update:T8 itemsthe update:The Item Power progression will be adjusted for all weapons, offhands, bags, and armor items.In addition to these change,have been added to the Mastery Bonuses of high-tier equipment as follows:This bonus applies to all Armors, Weapons, and Offhands, and includes IP bonuses from basic Specializations as well as advanced Masteries.For example, if you get an additional 100 IP from your Destiny Board Masteries for swords, using a T6 Sword will give you a 10% additional boost to that Master bonus, for a total bonus of 110 IP.Reason:With these bonuses, we would like to make high tier gear more relevant in the open world. And we would also like to encourage high spec players to use higher tier gear. Additionally max spec characters get less value out of T4 gear and are also more incentiveized to use higher tier equpiment. While at the same time, we did not want to put too much psychological pressure on lower spec players to start using high tiers early on. Hence, the impact of the bonuses is tied to the character’s spec level and will only truly kick in once a character is sufficiently advanced.Cheers,Retro
