Item Sub Stat Appraisel Suggestions

I just started on the wynncraft server for the first time and was very confused when i pulled an item that had a substat that was +8%xx.

i had pulled other items that had melee damage+3x , and spell damage +11x, etc. sub stats and was under the assumption that it was ment to be a multiplier for the stat. I even ended up throwing out a bunch of items thinking none of them matched up to +3x melee damage. ( i admit it didn't sound right looking back on it but at the time as a warrior +11x spell damage seemed like it was working and the +3x melee damage was my first identified weapon so my damage was greatly multiplied by using it)

But then i pulled an item with double +8%xx and was confused how that worked. After several failed attempts at finding an official reference on sub stats i ended up going to the discord server to see if anyone had more info for me . luckily some nice players where able to help me out by directing me to this forum thread that explained how appraisals properly work. https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/how-identifications-are-calculated.128923/.... So this leads me to two suggestions.

1. Change the appraisal indicator to just about any other symbol. i was tricked since the symbol was an x , it heavily influenced the equipment i decided to keep to start the game. Had it been a * or a @ or even a # i would have realized i was reading it wrong earlier

2. Add a page to the wiki and or the official wynncraft site explaining item appraisals more completely so that when new players see the indicator for the first time they have easy access to the information. like i said i had to have a member of the community direct me to a random forum thread in order to explain what the markers meant.

Hope these changes are made and it helps any new players to the server. I apologize if this has been suggested before but i was unable to find a thread about it using the search function on the forum.

Thanks for hearing me out and awesome server !

 

Isn't the appraisal indicator already using * symbol already?

I agree with this one, it takes me a while to know how the * work. It would be better to add an "Identification" part in the help page to explain how the appraisal indicator works for the new players.

 

The symbol is an asterisk, but the way how asterisks render in Minecraft makes them look like little x’s. I would like if these were explained either ingame or on the help page, because for the longest time I had no idea what they meant
