      i have completed the story and all optional quest pre iceborn.
      To my understanding i was supposed to get a guarenteed attack deco lvl 1?
      I have not gotten this which quest gives this gem?

        this skill is a trap. Only use it if you have nothing else to fit in your build. Peak performance + health augment, Coalesence + blight resistance 2, critical boost, all of these skills not only make your hunts comfier, but also cost less armor points and give a near similar boost in attack.

          So does the affinity bonus of 5% stack with each subsequent level or is it just a flat 5% increase whether you're level 4 or level 7?

            Alright, so just to actually put the pertinent information here (although this is a wiki, I'm not sure if one could just edit the page), from what I understand attack power boost gets multiplied by a weapon's class modifier, with a list of said modifiers on the "attack power" page. So if I'm using a charge blade and have a boost of +9 attack, what I'm really getting is a boost of 32 attack since charge blade has a 3.6x class multiplier. A greatsword with a full +21 attack would be getting around 100 extra attack in reality as GS has a 4.8x modifier. So basically attack boost isn't nearly as sad and negligible as it might initially seem.

              How exactly does the +3 affects the damage? Do you do +3 damage to monsters (would be weak)
              does it increase the weapon damage by 3 (would be weak too) so what are the maths behind?
              Same for Defenseboost?
