Weighting/saved posts

I've added a few more thresholds to help you out. Everything from "masterful" down through "light" is unchanged from the convention that has been used for the past several years. Note that incredible has been moved up the list, to be, well, incredible.

In order of descending magnitude:

wondrous

incredible

fantastic <-- standard claidhmores

phenomenal

expert

superb

masterful

exceptional

very heavy

heavy <--- standard katanas

decent

somewhat

light

no padding/weighting <-- This is the baseline

slightly diminished

somewhat diminished

noticeably diminished

substantially diminished

The specific values associated with each threshold are not something we'll be releasing. Player estimates of current value correlations are based on player research.

<<a non-claidhmore weapon(meaning a weapon not NAMED a claidhmore) that has 40 points of weighting, would it read as "claidhmore" weighting, or "fantastic" weighting? >>

A non-claidhmore with critical weighting equivalent to a claidhmore would assess as fantastic.

<<How would armor be worse than average?>>

Any armor with negative padding would be worse than average, and it would actually cause the wearer to take extra damage or more lethal criticals (bummer!). There are some suits of armor in the game with negative damage padding. I'm not aware of any armor with negative critical padding, offhand, but it probably exists.
