Scales with you using the below formulas (See Appendix below for numbers):For each two levels you gain, the "NewBuyLevel" increases by one:
New Buy Level: BuyLvl + (YourLvl-BuyLvl)/2, rounded down
You then apply the Z-Token boost:
New Power Level: If NewBuyLvl <= 80, then NewPowLvl= ROUND(39.98605457*1.01019365^NewBuyLvl)
Otherwise, NewPowLvl= NewBuyLvl +10
The weapon then scales its stats based on the new power level:
Base: ROUND(2 * (1 - 0.6) * (0.00375 * (NewPowLvl^2) + 0.5625 * NewPowLvl+ 5.25) / 2 / (1 + 0.03 *NewPowLvl)*1)
Rand: ROUND(2 * ((0.0075 * (NewPowLvl^ 2) + 1.125 * NewPowLvl+ 10.5) / 2 / (1 + 0.03 * NewPowLvl)-Base))
BTH: ROUND(NewPowLvl/8)
SPECIAL
BR%: ROUND(-0.000349*NewPowLvl^3 + 0.0552*NewPowLvl^2 + 8.01*NewPowLvl + 167)
LS%: ROUND(100+6.6*NewPowLvl)
+BTH: ROUND(200/8 + min(5*NewPowLvl - 400, 200) / 20 + NewPowLvl/8)
DESCRIPTION
Forged by a Necromancer in a fire fueled by burning dracolich bones, this weapon lets you choose whether to attack with ice or darkness by clicking the large orb on the hilt. It also increases in deadly power as you level up!
