Why is Pyrope Skanda the only Maple Item affected by the Goldy System?

    The Library Tab on the site shows Pyrope Skanda with base W.A at 37. With Godly System in play, it's only possible to reach 46. Why isn't it 47? Every other weapon type is +10 from base W.A, so why not for Skanda? Is this an error or intentional?

    Weapons have different base attack ranges depending on the level requirement of the item. So for example; A lvl 10 Garnier can give 9-11 att (3 values), a Maple Claw is lvl 33 and can give 18-22 att (5 values), the lvl 77 Pyrope Skanda can give 33-41 att (9 values), and a lvl 100 Red Craven can give 41-51 att (11 values). The Godly System can then add up to +5 on top of whatever value was chosen within the item's attack range.

    What determines the range for W.A (not talking about Godly System)? For example Garnier (9-11)? Did the original, untouched Wizet/Nexon MapleStory Setup already have these ranges defined in the game's code? Or is it only based on historical observable evidence by Hidden-Street or sites alike? That would be understandable for weapons before BBB. But for weapons that came after, the lines are blurred, since Pyrope Weapons existed after. There's also no W.A range associated with them on those sites.

    If historical observation as evidence was used, Red Cravens would only be (42-50), making only 90 W.A possible, not 91. Dragon Purple Sleve would be (46-53), and 93 W.A would be possible, and 95 W.A impossible.

    There's also a discrepancy with Black Mamba at 38 (36-45). That's a +7. What the heck is going on? MapleRoyal's Library shows (34-47). Why is it possible to get 2 under than the lowest range for Hidden-Street? Would that mean MapleRoyals, somehow, has got the correct data for W.A ranges?

    Hidden-street is (or was) mainly a community-driven database where any player was able to contribute and state that they got X item from X mob with X attack. Therefore we rarely use hidden-street when doing research into drops, or anything we want to be 100% sure about. Instead, we use official sources such as leaked BMS code, as well as a lot of reverse engineering of the client's assembly code to obtain correct calculations used within the game.
