(Imbuing) Errors in Intensity Values?

[Endrik]

Well I finally got my Imbuing to 120, and I have 15,000 Loyalty Points so I can use the Queens Soul Forage. I have been messing around making some stuff and have found something strange....

On some weapons like spears it allows me to Imbue up to 60 Mana Leech, while on Katanas it only allows a max of 55, and on Tessen it Only allows a max of 50. All are Exceptional, and I have done it in the same order. Any ideas why some weapons allow higher or lower intensities then others? I could possibly see higher being allowed on 2 handed weapons to compensate for lack of a shield, but this does not seem to be the case. Any ideas?

It's working right. The base ss is dependant on leeched and other mods. On a lance you can have 100 mana leech from loot-imbuing or crafting but on faster weapons these mods max out lower.

...

Leeches scale dependning on the Swing Speed of the weapon involved... it's a little wonky, but functioning properly.

 

[Old Man of UO]

Max hit Life Leech or Man Leech = (Base Weapon Speed x 2500) / (100 + SSI)

This also means that there is a max SSI that you can add depending on existing leeches.

yes the leech is based on weapon speed..
also if you have say an axe with 0 ssi, you can add 70 mana leech.. if you then afterwards at 30 ssi it drops the mana leech to 55 automatically..

so ssi first..

so ssi first..

Shouldnt make a difference ..... 70% ml with 0 ssi and 55% ml with 30 ss ... both are mana leech with 100% itensity. (Actually the difference would be, how expensive/hard to get are the needed imbuing ingredients.)
