"Perfect" item?
I've heard this term "Perfect item" a bunch since I started playing, but what does it mean? I know there are items better than others, but how can I tell if an item is perfect? Is a gold item a "perfect" item?
If it helps, I could post the stats of a gold staff I found, someone could let me know what's good about it and what's bad about it? |

Examples
Perfect Sword: Low req (7, 8 or 9) 15^50 20/20 +30hp That is considered perfect by a trader. Has to be gold, has to be max dmg. In all honesty though, this subject is one big can of worms. One persons view of perfect is different from another's.

20/20 Sundering
It's a mod used on melee/ranged weapons.

Yup, 20% chance of having 20% armor penetration on your attacks. It gets called 20/20 for short.

Really, a perfect item depends on what you need it for, and what mods you prefer. Malice's example is pretty much what would be considered a perfect sword, though some might prefer a +5 energy (zealous) mod in place of the +30 HP mod. Others might prefer a vampiric blade instead of a sundering. It just depends on where your intrests are, and how you play.
And to translate the jargon; Quote:
As far as a staff, you're looking for about; 11-22 damage Requires 9 (or lower) attribute points +10 energy, always. Halves Casting time of attributes spells (20%) Halve Recharge time of attributes spells (20%) And then staff heads and Wrappings of various quality, such as +30 HP( I use a staff head and a staff wrapping that give me +60 hp), Items attribute +1 (20%), and other mods that give you more energy or more armor. |

I tend not to focus too much on how much damage a staff does, I focus on whether it gives enough innate energy. If both staffs give +10 energy, I could care less whether one does 11-22 damage or 9-13 damage

Perfect is generally considered to be a 'max' item/mod.
a 15^50 inscription would be a perfect one. There are also weaker inscriptions with 13^50, these arent considered perfect. For instance, when one is selling a Sundering Long Sword of Fortitude, its mods can vary, it could only give +29hp, or maybe deal only 15-20 dmg innstead of the max 15-22. But when he says Perfect Sundering Long Sword of Fortitude, he implies that all mods are max, it gives 20/20, does 15-22 dmg and gives +30 hp, this way he keeps his message short and free of clutter, while still giving all information. |

No, sorry. That staff isn't max damage (22 is max for a caster weapon) and the recharge bonus isn't max, either (20%). So, whilst the mods are perfect and you might get something for the hale staffhead, the actual weapon is merchant fodder.
