Whole lot more business for us?

The rumor on my server is that the new patch will dramatically increase the demand for the highest-level weapons we can produce. I think that the rumor comes from this quote from Moorgard:

If an epic opponent can only be hit by a certain quality of weapon, that weapon's level must be within 75% or 5 levels of the target's level.

Personally I cannot make any sense of this statement. Which opponents are epic? What counts as "quality" for a weapon? Do only crafted weapons have quality, or do drops and quest weapons have a quality to them? Is the weapon's level determined by its required skill, its mastery skill, or its recipe level? Are rare crafted weapons higher level than their common counterparts? I have at least 10 more questions about this quote, but you get the picture.

Can anyone do a better job than I have of translating the quote? Does this really mean more business for us? If so, will that business be solely making ebon weapons, or will there be demand for fulginate too? How are you planning to prepare for the patch? And how much will you / do you charge to make ebon weapons?

Lots of questions, I know...

If I had to try my hand at translating that I would say that if your Mob was level 51, and you weapon reaches max potential at 45.....you would be screwed and not able to hit. I noticed alot of weapons and armor that I get for quests typically have a 5 level life span as opposed to the 10 that crafted stuff does. As for the rest of your questions.....no clue :p

I think I also read an MG post saying that they are going to change the way weapon levels work in general. A grey con weapon will do much less for you than a green or blue etc con weapon will. Sounds like they are trying to give people more incentive to upgrade their weapons quicker.
