That number is the sub-rank, so to speak.

The displayed letter rank of a weapon is determined by first calculating (hardcoded base number rank) + (modifier) and checking which letter rank range the result is in.

I couldn't find the absolute number rank so using a relative system where the lowest rank weapon (like the Broken Dagger) is considered to have a number rank of 1, then the range of values is as follows:

1 ~ 9 -> E

10 ~ 21 -> D

22 ~ 35 -> C

36 ~ 51 -> B

52 ~ 69 -> A

70 ~ ?? -> S

I tested this not too long ago, so I'm very sure of the range of values.

According to this system, the Broken Dagger would be rank E up to Broken Dagger+8.

It would then become rank D at Broken Dagger+9.

Also, Softcorps, I tested your theory about the numbers being the relative level of the monsters you need to fight to get the item, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Edit: Forgot to mention that this applies not just to weapons but all equipment.
