How much ED does an item get from being ethereal? (ED works for both...)
Ethereal - Ruvanal - 05-11-2003
Ethereal will adjust the base damage by
damage=int(3*base/2)
Then you will apply the ED factors to this new value.

How much enhanced defense?
Ethereal - ldw - 05-11-2003
Someone feel free to correct me but I think its 50%-to-base also.
I had found a 4 socket eth loricated armor that was around 721 or so. 2/3 of that would be around what
'normal' loricated armors get. There were more examples of this but my mule got umm .. eaten in the now infamous January realm 'maintenance'.
Edit: I also have a near 1800 def ethereal corpsemourn someone donated for my merc! .. a 50% improvement on the usual near-1200 corpsemourne..

Just to mention too, the durability of the item should be:
Int(normal durability/2)+1

I'll trust Ruvanal with the formula, but I must say I was delighted to find a three socket 896 def superior kraken shell tonight! Now the question is whether to make Lionheart or hope the patch has something better.
This was 14% enhanced def. Anyone know what is the maximum percent on superior items?
Ethereal - kier - 05-21-2003
Say an armour normaly has 500 def. eth armour will be 50% more, or 3/2 times normal.
If someone does want to find def/dmg on an item, just times the figure by 1.5
note to anyone out there.......
I need a zod for an eth hellslayer!!!!! B)
Ethereal - Brista - 05-21-2003
Well, unless you're willing to trade for something you can be 99.9% sure is a dupe then you might as well just get half an hour's fun out of that Hellslayer and then chuck it :)
Of course 1.10 might make Zod more findable
The other significantly useful aspect of ethereal is lowered requirements

What's really nice about ethereal is how it's applied....instead of being added like a normal ed% modifier (like it was in previous LoD patches) - it instead effects the base d (use it for defense or damage).
IE (simplified formulas.....not gonna bother typing out the huge one again):
-convert all %'s to decimals (ie 35% = .35)
Defense = (Def * 1.5) * (ed% + 1)
Damage = (Dmg * 1.5) * (ed% + 1)
[edit: I need to get my eyes checked...I didn't notice someone had already said this even though I read over it....]
