I just got a lvl76 SOM 1H Sword drop. Is this SOM+5 stronger then the last teir 1H Sword +7?

if u have both y not compare then urself ? highest i got was +3 ,+2 ,3 elixirs to make +1

I dont have both...I dont even have a last teir +7 so I cant compare. Asking this question for the experts.

no, its trash. Just npc it, save some pixels.

This should help you, and i took the liberty to check and its almost the same.

SOM+5 = Phy. attack power 1447 ~ 1720 (0%)
85+7 = Phy. attack power 1490 ~ 1755 (0%)

You can alter the % on the site.

Hope it helps

wow thanks alot..I didnt know such thing exist. I guess I'll just have to +7 my SOM.

SoM will always be better than last tier cuz
For 8th Degree 64+10 = 74 vs 72
For 9th Degree 76+10 = 86 vs 85

Physical Reinforce % will always Higher on SoM

Pic of stats and glow please ^_^

It'll be stronger idd cuz of the reinforcements

yeah but the 85 is +7 and som only +5 so som losses 1 level on 85...anyway sell that shit while the prices are overhyped

try som +7 and u dont have problem

+1

then re-buy it in a month or so for a couple hundred mil less.

I wouldn't be surprised if someones done that.

lol so much gold

Screenshot of it didnt happen.

If i got a 76 som, first thing i would do is post a picture.

Not everyone cares about their e-penis as much as you do.

If that was aimed at me, i'd like you to try and find a penis.

Kids

dont make me cringe again, please use the right reasoning and formulas... -.-

Katzbalger (+5) (SOM)
Phy. attack power 1447 ~ 1720 (0%)
Phy. attack power 1524 ~ 1815 (100%)
Phy. reinforce 218.3% ~ 266.8% (0%)
Phy. reinforce 241.0% ~ 294.5% (100%)

Lynx Katzbalger (+7)
Phy. attack power 1490 ~ 1755 (0%)
Phy. attack power 1565 ~ 1847 (100%)
Phy. reinforce 214.0% ~ 261.6% (0%)
Phy. reinforce 236.3% ~ 288.8% (100%)

we can see that the attack power on the +7 is consistently higher across 0-100%, but the SOM's reinforces are higher across 0-100%. this means that no matter the %, the result of our calculation should remain consistent so long as the comparison is between 2 weapons of the same or similar % values.

now for the assumptions in order to make the calculation to final attack power:
pure str lvl 90 warrior
average 5 str on each piece of gear + shield = +60 str

total str = 436

- we can make these assumptions because these variables remain constant between the comparison calculations, so the resulting figure will scale proportionally if these assumptions aren't true.

physical attack power = weapon's physical attack power + (STR * weapon's physical reinforce)

i dont know if SRO rounds or truncates, so i'm going to leave the decimal values on the results.

SOM+5 MIN (0%) = 1447 + (436 * 218.3%) = 2398.788
SOM+5 MIN (100%) = 1524 + (436 * 241.0%) = 2574.76
SOM+5 MAX (0%) = 1720 + (436 * 266.8%) = 2883.248
SOM+5 MAX (100%) = 1815 + (436 * 294.5%) = 3099.02

85+7 MIN (0%) = 1490 + (436 * 214.0%) = 2423.04
85+7 MIN (100%) = 1565 + (436 * 236.3%) = 2595.268
85+7 MAX (0%) = 1755 + (436 * 261.6%) = 2895.576
85+7 MAX (100%) = 1847 + (436 * 288.8%) = 3106.168

so this means that these will be your attack power stats while holding either weapon:
SOM+5: (2398 - 2574) ~ (2883 - 3099)
85+7: (2423 - 2595) ~ (2895 - 3106)

it is apparent from these figures that a 85+7 would be more powerful, but by pennies. and you'd probably never notice a difference. also, if you +7 the SOM, it would be obviously more powerful. in my opinion, if you were planning to use the SOM yourself, and not sell it, i would use a SOM that i picked up for free over a 85+7, since they are roughly equivalent. not to mention that SOM crit stats are higher than non SOX, so you can probably get a good crit easier than with a normal weapon.

and they look cooler.


oh and as for the guy i quoted, you lucked out, the reinforces didnt make as much of a difference as i thought they would. ^^

sosun on the other hand usually wtfpwns stuff with similar attack power stats though...

nice reply, thanks

Actually im pretty sure that only applies to chinese weapons, to my knowledge a sun european item will have the same crit max as a white one.

Yep SoM 76+5 will be stronger than 85+7 overall (due to higher reinforce % and posibilites to get other stats higher compared to an 86 wepon), but make it +7 as well to be even better lucky sod btw lol

Well I said you could alter the % on the sites so he could do something but thx for doing it and explaining it. Thx for telling me that sosun info it wtfpwns lol

God damn lucky or what

really? i didn't know that. i'll have to look into it, thanks for the info.

edit:
wow, i think youre right, according to nivlam that's true. i dont know why i didnt notice that before.

in that case, ive looked at AR and dura on a 85+7 and a 76 som+5 and theyre also just about exactly the same. so a 85+7 1-hander and a som+5 would pretty much be identical in dmg, the only factor contributing to which is better being the %'s on the stats. it still stands, though, that a som would be better because you could +7 it and it would be clearly better. not to mention som looks pretty awesome
