20% +1 items
How exactly do 20% +1 items work? The descriptions say "+1 (10-20% chance while using skills)", which could be interpreted in four ways. -- Gordon Ecker 03:49, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
 * 1) When you activate a skill tied to that attribute, it has a 20% chance of treating the green numbers as those for if the attribute was 1 level higher.
 * 2) When you activate a skill tied to that attribute, it has a 20% chance of treating the attribute as 1 higher for both green numbers and inherent effects that provide bonuses to skills, strength attack skills get extra armor penetration, divine favor spells get extra healing.
 * 3) When you activate any skill, it has a 20% chance of treating the attribute as 1 higher for everything relating to the skill. Protection Prayers spells can get extra healing from 20% +1 DF staves, Axe Mastery attacks can get extra armor penetration from 20% +1 Strength shields et cetera.
 * 4) While you are activating a skill, you have a 20% chance of getting temporary +1 bonus to an attribute for all purposes, if you're activating a skill and a 20% +reaping item procs, you get +1 energy whenever something dies during the activation.


 * A literal interpretation favors 4. However, 4 should say "you get +1 energy 20% the time whenever...".  I plan on eventually testing it someday, if nobody beats me to it. - 04:01, 9 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I just did some testing with Orison of Healing, Divine Boon and The Soulstone. When the +1 procs for Boon, it affects the green numbers of but doesn't increase the DF bonus healing, while it never procced for over a dozen castings of Orison. I'm assuming it works the same for other attributes. -- Gordon Ecker 20:35, 9 August 2006 (CDT)

No Attribute
is it meant that skills aren't always listed under an attribute because no attribute is "a lack of attribute" shared by all professions? it seems like skills should be listed under something like common skills unlinked elementalist skills or the like, i bet some people have looked at glyphs for elementalist and all their energy management skills, without finding the second wind. (i just think theres some missing links here)

Lunar Fortune
What are we going to do about the attribute bonus from the fortunes?
 * I'm not sure, but Blood skills has progressions up to 21 way before the lunar fortunes. Not sure how that worked, but I would assume the fortunes would push it to 22. --Ryard 22:13, 19 February 2007 (CST)
