Purple sharpness grants a 1.39x raw multiplier versus White's 1.32x (a ~5.3% true physical damage boost). If achieving Purple requires sacrificing major offensive skills like Critical Boost or Attack Boost, high-capacity White sharpness often yields higher total hunt DPS.
Multiply the target hitzone value (HZV, 0 to 100) by the weapon's physical sharpness multiplier (Green: 1.05, Blue: 1.20, White: 1.32, Purple: 1.39). If the resulting product is strictly less than 25, your attack bounces, triggering double sharpness degradation.
