Unable to convert attuned Analyze Weakness to Shield Breaker

[SalvaNos]

I'm unable to convert attuned Analyze Weakness to Shield Breaker.  I have tried with a non attuned version at level 30 and it seems to work.

This may be a function of how attuned enhancements "vary" their current Level to match whatever your character Level is at the time.  The overlap between Shield Breaker and Analyze Weakness is only at Level 30 (10-30 vs 30-50) ... which then, if "thinking" about the problem like a computer algorithm, would mean that the only window of opportunity to successfully convert from Analyze Weakness to Shield Breaker would be when your character is Level 30 (use Exemplar/Flashback system to achieve this if necessary).

Wait, what??

 

Are you saying that attuned IOs convert as though they were the same level as your character’s current effective level?? Clamped, no doubt, to the set’s actual level range?

 

I’d read elsewhere on the forums that it didn’t work that way.

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.

 

Could always test the idea on the test server if you don't want to spend any "real INF" on question.

It's got nothing to do with your character's level. There are just certain sets where the only overlap is at one point that won't convert as attuned. The recharge intensive pet ones are another example that only convert at 30. You can either go through the process of selling your attuned, rebuying at 30, converting, selling the 30 and rebuying attuned, or just buy the shield breaker outright.

Can’t find the quote but will link when I do.  But Attuned enhancements actually get assigned a random “base” enhancement level that really only matters when trying to convert one.  Not sure why but that’s how they apparently work.

Heres the original release notes for Homecoming:

And the relevant part:

 

 

Enhancement Converters and Attumed Enhancements:

Enhancement Converters are available again, with support for Attuned enhancements.

Sets that exist both in attuned and not attuned versions will convert in kind. This means that if you convert a non-attuned enhancement, you'll get a non-attuned enhancement as the result; if you convert an attuned enhancement, you'll get an attuned enhancement as the result.

Because Attuned enhancements don't have a set level, the result could be any set in range.

When doing an out-of-set conversion, a level is randomly assigned; if the level assigned is under 30, it could convert into Regenerative Tissue or Triage; if it's above 30, it could convert into Doctored Wounds or Numina's Convalescence.

Because the level is randomly assigned, sets that have larger level overlaps will convert into each other more often. For example, a set with the level range 10-25 and a set with the level range 25-50 will only convert into each other if the random level assigned happens to be exactly 25, and will convert into other sets if any other level is randomly assigned.

Attuned enhancements that could be converted prior to this patch (ATOs and Winter enhancements) are not affected.
