I know the counselors are working on several things at the moment, and this skill might actually be one of them. None the less, I found something else today in addition to the other oddities for the skill.

>weigh my backp
By your best estimates, an airy gray mistsilk backpack bearing an image of Aroai shifting through the lunar phases weighs roughly between 28 and 50 pounds.
Roundtime: 14 sec.
R>app my backp
It is worn upon the back.
It looks like the backpack will hold about 100 pounds of weight.
The backpack currently holds about 36 pounds of items.
You think an airy gray mistsilk backpack bearing an image of Aroai shifting through the lunar phases is basically worthless.
Roundtime: 12 sec. |
The weigh verb is probably taking into account the weight of the backpack as well, but that range when compared to the exact number when you appraise it is a bit to high. I'm not sure if the weigh verb is based on Appraisal skill or not, but the Appraisal skill doesn't seem to be based on itself...unless it comes to determining the price of something.
Dante has 40 (3) in appraisal right now, but it doesn't seem to matter if he has 1 rank or 200. The skill of the appraiser is pretty much ignored when determining the effectiveness of armor or weapons damage wise or the quality; the exact value is automatically given. The only thing that seems to actually be based on someones appraisal skill is determining the value (and perhaps WEIGHing) of something. I hope while revamping things for the new experience system that this is something that will be looked at.

Weigh works great when you look at the average of the two numbers.
So 28 - 50 has an average of 39, which is a lot closer to what the actual weight is.

Yes, both appraise and weigh will undergo notable changes due to the skill change stuff.
