I obtained a purified bubinga lumber from Krystalea and made a bubinga buckler using it, and then made one with a normal bubinga lumber.The blue stats vary slightly when I examine them, but there's no difference in name and such, so it can be hard to tell at a glance which ones are using refined material.Bubinga buckler (using normal bubinga)<ul><li>27.9% multi attack chance</li><li>17.8 spell weapon multi attack chance</li><li>35.2% crit chance</li><li>6.5% crit bonus</li><li>6.5% potency</li></ul>Bubinga buckler (using purified (refined) bubinga)<ul><li>30.7% multi attack chance</li><li>19.6 spell weapon multi attack chance</li><li>38.7% crit chance</li><li>7.2% crit bonus</li><li>7.2% potency</li></ul>Also, since they share the same item name, you can't have examine windows open for both, side-by-side ... you close examine on one to open examine on the otherI'd love to see results from other people's testing using refined materials!

I made a couple of spells with the refined Osmosium (can never spell that correctly) and the spells showed no differences. Not sure if they should or not. I did make one my class (Solar Flare X) could use and there was no difference between the examine and the actual spell.

Makes sense that there aren't any increases for spells.I made a dagger.Original:Tungsten Dagger138 agi, 138 sta101.5 dps44.8 crit8.2 crit bonus8.2 potency93-408 damagePurified:Tungsten Dagger138 agi, 138 sta111.7 dps (+10.2)49.3 crit (+4.5)9 crit bonus (+0.8)9 potency (+0.8)93-408 damage101.5 * 1.1 = 111.6544.8 * 1.1 = 49.288.2 * 1.1 = 9.02So yeah looks like just a 10% blue stat increase.

Can you refine a Reactive ?Or is refining limited to harvestable material ?

I'll drag over some reactants the next time I copy and check. We'll also want to check other tiers, not just the top tier, and see if there's a difference in the percentage increase. (a spot-check of weapons, armor, jewelry for different tiers)

I have also crafted some pieces on my armorer with normal Tungsten and with purified Tungsten. I did also get the 10% increase in blue stats when inspecting the gear in your inventory. But when you put them on the broker they all inspected with stats as the normal Tungsten. So clearly they need to be given different names.Another issue was that when you had both types of tungsten in your inventory I could not select which type I wanted to craft with. The game selected to craft with the purified first. Probably since that stack was smaller in this case.

I copied a bunch of rares from live an I'll be running some tests and writing a breakdown along the way.

It doesn't seem that carpenters have any use for refined materials. I found no change in anything I made.

As of my testing you can experiment on a raid crafted item that has been made with a refined component. *does the happy dance* that actually makes some REALLY nice items.When I spoke with Omougi on the stat boost from refinment he said it's supposed to be a 5 - 10% boost to the stats which would explain why the T1-T2 items aren't seeing a boost, there's not enough of the stat to actually make a difference. Kinda sucks but TBH I don't know many who stay at thoes levels long unless they REALLY try to.Also from talking to Omougi he said they were going to look into a way to prevent the refined mats from being used on items that they would not modify, AKA food/drink, pots, house items. Though IMO using a refind mat should increase the status reduction of a house item but that's just my 2cp.Edit: I'm trying to finish up a last run of the sig line but when I'm done I'll try and get some pics up of the raid level crafted items with refining only and refining + experimentation

ok some pictures for you to see how refined mats + experimentation is working on raid crafted itemsThe Helm had the full 5 Experiments on it as +Potency, +CB, +Sta, +Spell Weapon DPS (reforged into Ability Mod), and the heal procThe Shield only had 2 Experiments on it as +CB and +Crit Chance<img src="http://www.virulence-guild.com/CoE_Beta/Sham_Helm.jpg" width="825" height="696" /><img src="http://www.virulence-guild.com/CoE_Beta/fighter_shield.jpg" width="813" height="648" /><img src="virulence-guild.com/CoE_Beta/Sham_Helm.jpg" />
