Example
- A player with 80 Item ID skill is using an Eminently Accurate, Vanquishing, Greater Undead Slaying Heavy Crossbow against an Undead creature
- The weapon normally provides +15% Accuracy from the Eminently Accurate property
- The weapon normally provides +25% Damage from the Vanquishing property
- The weapon normally provides +25% Damage from the Greater Slaying property (when slayer matched)
- The player would receive an additional (15% * (50% * (80 / 100))) = +6% Accuracy bonus from the Eminently Accurate property
- The player would receive an additional (25% * (100 * (80 / 100))) = +20% Damage bonus from the Vanquishing property
- The player would receive an additional (25% * (50% * (80 / 100))) = +10% Damage bonus from the Greater Slaying property
- Effectively, the player will have 15% + 6% = +21% Accuracy Bonus from the weapon factoring in Item Identification bonuses
- Effectively, the player will have 25% + 25% + 20% + 10% = +80% Damage Bonus from the weapon factoring in Item Identification bonuses
