how can i determine if something like this is
1) worth something at all
2) what would it compare to, to a full str armor?

It's hard to compare Crit vs stats (imo it should never be done, other than seeing it as nice sidemod)
All weapons have different basevalues on how much crit helps, also how much str helps etc.

Also all weapons have different EE value from the Str, so it's very hard to value into an item.
Easiest would be for casters where ONLY INT matter and crit is great sidemod (éven tho casters crit far more than weapons even without crit as adds)


So imo this might be the value of 22-23 str = 0 fg value, it should probably sell a little bit more as a glyph.


On a sidenote, having the wrong stat on ur character also seems to crit more often than ur actual stat that makes ur dmg higher on weapon, but once again, i wouldnt go Dionstyle and use str charms for daggers, because it's a huge loss in dmg from not using any dex.
If u have dual stat gear tho where the mainstat is still higher the secondary stat is great sidemod on an item.

Here is the best way to put it.

Tier X = Maximum of 50 Stat

+5 Crit Strike only works on a % chance that you get a Critical Strike.

100 Attacks +5% chance of Crit Strike = 5/100 double damage.
+50 strength = 100% chance of dealing damage out of 100 attacks.

Even if it is only a +30 Str Tier X armor, it will be better than that current armor by dealing roughly 8% more damage 100% of the time.
