Inscription/Research

"Show me the money!"
How does this inscription exactly change the weapons' value? Is there a fixed enhancement, a specfic formula?

You may add your data in this table. What you need is a "Show me the money!" inscription, a inscribable weapon and either a Expert Salvage Kit, or for a saver performance if it is done repeatedly, a Perfect Salvage Kit.


 * *%: Diffrence shown in percent. ( Stating how much the value percentually increased with mfm compared to the regular one [Formula: value with smtm/(value without/100)-100. Formula for percentual part of regular value compared to that with smtm ( currently not used ): value without/(value with smtm/100)]
 * 2: Items without value can be identified once, though this won't be visible unless they become upgraded with Smtm.
 * 3: Item couldn't be sold to merchant despite blue "Sell"-Botton and warning message for being equipped. (The Wintergreen Shield likely can't be sold as well.

Observations
&rarr; Value is not applied at random. &rarr; If an identified upgrade becomes applied to the according item and becomes salvaged from this item afterwards, it will "forget" that i was once identified and may be identified again. The item can get another value than it had before. (Note: This has also been observed for Runes) &rarr; Formular has included the item's value. &rarr; value is likely not defined at random and dependant from item. This could possibly only be viable for weapons that are not found from mosters, e.g. for quest rewards.
 * And identified weapon will always have the same increased value with Smtm, even if it gets removed and reapplied.
 * By contrast, the same inscription used to repeatedly upgrade the according item gets a different value when identified.
 * With increasing basic value, the enhancement with smtm decreases.
 * Gold diffrence in amount has had four constant numbers so far: 55, 63 and 74  and 75.
 * Despite having the same value, some weapons get a higher one with smtm than others. (example: there were two items with an value of 400 . one of them increased with inscription by 55, the other by 74 )
 * Thunderfist's Brass Knuckles have been tested three times and had a smtm value of 55 every time
 * Weapon rarity and attribute requirement is seemingly independant from the enhancement.


 * *Observations written in purple font aren't actually related to the value research of the Smtm inscription, as it states behavior of upgrade components in general.

Independant Research Results - This is how it really works:

 * "Show me the money!" inscription works almost exactly like every other upgrade part with a variable modifier, it just has an invisible property line which says "Value +XX gold", and all it does is increasing the gold value of any item it's on or value of itself by that fixed amount.
 * For example a "Value +68 gold" one will increase the value of any item it's put on by 68.
 * The value increase property ranges from +50 to +75
 * The value increase depends on rarity of the item it was originally found on:
 * Blue - +50..62
 * Purple - +62..70
 * Gold - +71..75


 * There might be a +70 from gold item or +71 from purple possible, although not observed.
 * +75 ones are exceptionally rare compared to +74 or +73 which are of equal rarity.


 * The gold value of the inscription itself after salvaging and identifying is the base variable 26..50 increased by it's own fixed "Value +XX gold" mod, so for example a "Value +71" one can have it's gold value ranging from 97 to 121
 * Putting it on a weapon and salvaging again resets only the variable 26..50 value just like it does on every other inscription or mod. Salvaging doesn't change the "Value +XX gold" modifier, just like it doesn't change for example "Armor +9 (vs. Cold)" inscription.
