Damage By Level
Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.
| Level | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 16 | 18 |
| 10 | 23 | 26 | 29 | 38 | 41 |
| 20 | 38 | 42 | 48 | 62 | 68 |
| 30 | 54 | 59 | 67 | 86 | 94 |

| 50 | 84 | 92 | 104 | 134 | 147 |
Enhancements by Level
Each upgrade at the Blacksmith raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. Rarity sets how many upgrades a copy takes: one for common, up to five for legendary.
