All equipment created from Molds had a prefix added to their grades.
As such, it was obvious whether a piece of equipment had been dropped or created by a Mold.
There were 4 prefixes that equipment from Molds could have: Fine, Superior, Exquisite and Perfect. The gap between each prefix was quite big, with Perfect Silver-grade equipment almost rivalling Gold-grade equipment.
Even the lowest grade of equipment from a Mold was better than normal equipment of the same grade. Of course, it was possible for Silver grade equipment that had been dropped to have heaven-defying stats as well.
The Umbranse’s Staff in Lu Li’s hands had skipped the Fine and Superior grades and was an Exquisite Silver-grade equipment.
The Attack wasn’t that great, but Magic professions didn’t rely on the Equipment Damage. Instead, most of their damage came from their Skill Damage. The staff gave 20 points of stats, all of which were quite useful. This was especially so for Intelligence, which was +16.
