Description: Identify Weapon Quality represents the knowledge of how to evaluate weapons in order to learn how valuable and well made they are.
Who Can Learn It: Anyone can learn Identify Weapon Quality.
What It is Supposed to Do: Allows characters to tell information about weapons such as how much damage they do, how much durability they have left, how much they costs, and how much they weigh.
What it Does: Allows characters to know how much a weapon is worth and how much it weighs. Identify Weapon Quality does not appear to be fully implemented yet.
Activation: ID or IDENTIFY (ID [ITEM]), ID QUALITY (ID QUALITY ON [ITEM]).
Usefulness (Low Levels): Low. The skill is very inaccurate, and provides little information that can not be found through other means.
Usefulness (Mid-Levels): Low. The skill is relatively accurate, but provides little information that can not be found through other means.
Usefulness (High Levels): Low. The skill is accurate, but provides little information that can not be found through other means.
How to Practice: Get a weapon such as a short bronze dagger and ID QUALITY ON DAGGER (or whatever the item is). You can do this at almost any time, including while resting.
Tips: At low levels, use a weapon with a low value. You can get uses off of almost any item, but you only get uses if you are "accurate" with your assessment. At this time, you can use the same weapon over and over again to practice on.
Unconfirmed Rumors (May or May Not Be True): Due to the ease with which they can be raised in level, most players in Dragon's Gate have at least one ID skill which they have gained 5 levels in.
