This article is about the item type named focus. For the specific pre-Searing item of the same name, see Focus (Focus Item). |
Focus items are secondary weapons (sometimes called simply "focuses/foci" or "offhands") that increase the equipped character's maximum energy by +3 to +12 (with the sole exception of the Flute, which gives +1 energy). They may also have other modifiers. Like all weapons, middle to high end focus items have minimum requirements from 7 to 13 in a certain attribute for the primary stat (i.e. energy).
Relationship of energy bonus and requirement
Focus items with attribute requirements of 0 may have an energy bonus of up to +6. Focuses with the maximum energy bonus of +12 may have an attribute requirement as low as 7. All maximum energy collector, crafter, and unique focuses have an attribute requirement of 9. If a character's rank in the required attribute is less than the requirement, the character will not receive the full energy bonus. How much of a partial bonus is still being tested - it was previously believed that blue/green foci give +3 energy and purple/gold foci give +6, but for whatever reason there are some gold foci which give only +3 and some blue foci that give +6.

Anomaly! The PvP-crafted items are considered to be "blue" items, thus you only get a +3 partial energy bonus from them. |
