Masterworking uniques doesnt effect +Skill stat even with MW crit

Burned a bunch of mats and gold to MW crit a + skill on a unique but once i got it the skill stayed the same. Either let us get higher skills on uniques with MW or dont let it roll on a skill…

They can increase… But there’s a multiplier and sometimes it’s so low that even at +12 it’s not enough to send it over.

I also dont know if i should keep the +skill crit in the hope they fix it or clear the MW and start rerolling for other stats AGAIN.

It’s not “broken” it’s just a different system.

So you could burn many mats and gold just to find out it wont even +1? I would rather they just dont let +skills crit then, as they seem to just be there to waste resources.

wudjo has a nice sheet for that.

eventually that helps you

You still gotta understand that there are two different systems, one for legendaries and one for uniques.

Probably shouldn’t be so complicated, or at the least could be more transparent.

there you go.

just pick your class and equip the unique item in question. you can masterwork it then in the planner.

wudiji explains it here:

Wudijoo has a video that explains it. Basically Uniques add a multiplier BUT it always rounds down. So if you start with an item that has a base increase of 2, and masterwork up to 12, you’re adding 45% to the total… but 2*1.45=2.9… which rounds down to 2… so you don’t actually gain anything, unless you hit a crit.

Also yea the planner is a good way to visualize it. Was just about to link it as well

yea just linked everything together in the post above. his video explanation + how you can test it in the d4 maxroll planner.

Love this! I check out Wudi pretty often. Didn’t know he made this.

I did not know this. Good info.

So using d4 planner it seems even if i crit the +skill every time till 12/12 it still wouldnt gain a +1 lol, they should just block the stat from gaining a crit as it cant benefit, thats bad design. Thank you for all the info.

I don’t think that’s correct. What item are you looking at. Every item should be able to gain at least +2 from max masterwork if you hit all crits

Storms companion druid legs, i put all crits onto +wolf skill and it stayed 5/5 even with masterwork 12/12

Yea that’s strange. Seems like that item isn’t following the normal system for some reason.

hm… yea just double checked as well. it doesnt even change if the +5 skill is a greater affix.

sigh i mean my build is still good and can be improved but that was going to be an easy dps improvement and i wasted time farming for the rerolls. :confused:

Looks like that item is actually listed a couple places as being bugged.
