i'm pretty new to hex as well...by looking at Ribcage's item break down pic you'll notice that after all the item effects are the codes for the weapon's or armor's conditions.
i wasn't able to figure out the condition codes/hex til i was looking very, very closely at the line of codes at the end of the item effects when i noticed that there are 2 codes that of the same value. so, i experimented on the first code and notice that i found the condition codes, LOL.
in Ribcage's pic you'll notice that after the last item effect, AF CD 1C, it's followed by the 00 FF FF FF FF then a set of 00's. it's after these sets of 00's that you come to F0 41 00 00 F0 41 which is the condition of "bloodsteel plate" (in Ribcage's pic). hope this helps, and hope that Ribcage didn't mind me using his pic, cuz it helped out a lot looking for the item effects.
for my armor piece, mastercrafted dreadscale armor, the values were D0 41 00 00 D0 41 which was 28/28.
interesting, though, is that my chest armor, mastercrafted dreadscale armor, was green color til i added the +20% Physical Damage & +10% Piercing Damage. it changed to purple color after that code was added, awesome.
EDIT: FF 43 = 510 condition...and i did try FF 44 and the condition was like 2k+...lol
Thanks. I have kinda figured out how to edit crafted items, but has anyone successfully edited DLCs or existing items?
By the way, it seems that you can't edit the number of effects on the item. I tried editing the number to 09 and counted 9 effects, but the game wouldn't load. When I reverted back to the original 04 and added 4 effects of my choice, everything works.
Just to add, the option for +30% damage, does it apply to all? e.g. physical, magic, fire, ice, etc.
where do you look for the amount of effects on an armor or weapon? secondly, i would like to change the pre-existing effect of a weapon and armor; e.g, a chakram with 41 dmg (on first line) and 41 fire dmg (as the 2nd line).
point me in the right directions, please.
EDIT: i was over at xpgamesaves and found a list of effects that was posted by bezzer and credit goes to idlehands88
I try to increase number of effects to 6 and it work. but when i edit to 10 game shut
CE board got some more effect but i have no permission to share it so if anyone want it they can easily find by google

No matter what I tried, I just can't seem to add more effects. Even changing a 4 to 5 will cause the game not to load.
The screenshot posted IdleHands88 shows that the effect number is "00" before the first effect code. For mine, the effect number is "00 00 00" before the first effect code.
