So with the announcement of the patch coming in the next week, I think it's time to give you guys something you can use to get a good idea of what you should be holding onto. There's been a few spreadsheets to help us all when it comes to that but none that had actual values tied to the number of attributes on loot. I spent quite a bit of time gathering this data in the PTS and with the changes coming to recalibration you can use this to get a good idea of whats possible, and what you should look out for.

Gathering the info was fairly simple, but very time consuming. The PTS allows you to buy free proficiency caches with guaranteed 500 loot so I took advantage of that and opened... well more than I care to admit. I learned a few things throughout about recalibration, and loot in general. Having a better understanding of how the attributes values are determined will help along side this chart, so I'll briefly mention a few things you should know.


-Recalibration

Through the new recalibration system you can in fact transfer stats in their entirety over to other items. Every stat has it's own recalibration value with higher stats being the most costly. I tried reaching the cap in game and came pretty close (96/100), but never actually reached it. When you recalibrate, your piece of loot starts at 0 out of 100. When you recalibrate a new stat on your loot, the value of the attriibute will determine what the new recalibration score will be. If you have a piece of loot that's already recalibrated and you recalibrate it again with another stat but a lesser value - it will lower the recalibration score (Not sure if this in intended)

-Gear


The lower the amount of collective attributes on any piece of gear, the higher the values can be. Also, the lower the amount of the armors base defense - The higher the attributes can be.


When the patch goes live your gear will automatically be scaled up to these new values. Anything you have thats already recalibrated will have it's new recalibration score adjusted and it's GS adjusted back down to 500 (I had pre patch recalibrated loot when I logged into the PTS). I plan to keep updating these values for as long as I'm here, or someone makes a better one. Note, that these attributes may not be the maximum values - These are the highest I seen after days of opening caches.
