Guide to ItemStatCost.txt Stats

[OrderOfTheScribble]

The Basin Wiki has this to say about item_normaldamage, which displays as Damage +:

Damage + adds to both minimum and maximum physical attack damage before +% Damage is applied. Character screen does not add Damage until after +% Damage is applied, so actual damage can be much higher than displayed. It is also added to shield damage before +% Damage is applied when calculating Smite damage. Character screen does not add Damage at all.

The first bit of red text is the bug you're referring to, while the Smite related bug can be explained by Smite having a descdam of 10 in SkillDesc.txt, which this guide doesn't list as one of the descdams that can display item_normaldamage.

OrderOfTheScribble, thanks for the information, tested and found more.
even if +% damage is applied, the char screen seems incorrect as well: what displayed there is base weapon damage multiplied by other +% damage values, then plus item_normaldamage value, item_normaldamage didn't enchanced by +% damage stats or str bonus on the screen.

Hi OrderOfTheScribble, what is missing/wrong in the guide? The guide does list descdam 10 as being unable to display item_normaldamage.

•Applies to Shield Damage (Smite), despite not appearing on its display (descdam=10).

I was replying to this post by quoting the bugs of item_normaldamage that were known to the Basin:

[item_normaldamage]
•Displays under descdam=1,5,6,7,9,11,14,17,18,19,20,23,24; scaled by SrcDam of the skill.

does it really display correctly? as i remembered, 'grief' runeword's fake low damage is quite a famous bug in vanilla.

You're right that descdam 10 doesn't display item_normaldamage. I guess the wording in my last post was a little unclear.

Ah... another thing about this: it doesn't count to Vengeance's elemental damage.

Thanks Nagahaku, I've added that to the skill description and stat description.
