If you enchant an elemental onto most weapons, it will say Rank B "Lightning" (or Ice/Fire) has been successfully enchanted.
However, if you try it with a Wooden Blade, it will say Rank C "Lightning" has been successfully enchanted.
One of my guildmembers said this was something called weapon rank: weapons with lower rank have a different calculation formula. Apparently the exact formula is unknown, but it could be something like Rank C 95%, Rank B 100%, Rank A (ego weapons from what I heard) 105%.
She also did a test with another guild member, and summarized the results by saying, "I had more min and max, but hit lower every time, when using a Wooden Blade."
Anyone else heard of this weapon rank thing?

Nope.
The wiki states "Players can imbue their equipment with Elementals. These have a 100% success rate, and are considered a Rank B enchant. "
I've never heard of "weapon rank" and until solid evidence proves otherwise, i'll continue to deny its existance.

Who told you about this? Was it you?..
Did you/they find the wooden blade on the ground? Did you/they store buy it?
How did you/they get that particular elemental?
(all those things could contribute to it..)
oh, you could have also just read wrong..?
