Every item that naturally have % Enhanced Defense base have defense = "max defense" + 1
(this includes Superior itens)
That's why it show 165 def (the Alma Negra - the unique Sacred Rondache possible - have +180-210% Enhanced Defense)
OBS: if you upgrade a Rare/Set/Unique item that have natural "% Enhanced Defense", the result item will have a random base defense (it will not follow the "max defense" + 1 rule anymore...)

Correct.
Though worth just pointing out that the "random base defense" after upgrading is random but within the normal possible range of the upgraded item version so it isn't like "entirely random".
It doesn't have an ED, but rather a static amount of defense added, but the base acts like a superior one always at 601 defense for a 1001 total.
As an example, Trang-Oul's Wing (and belt, and natalya's items, and many more set items) from the same (and even different) timeframes behave "correctly" and have a variable base defense.
Which one is the correct one and which one is the buggy one? Can we even know at this point?

Could it be because it gets ED% (+50%) from a set bonus (when wearing the complete set), and that the game takes it into account even though the bonus is hidden/inactive until the conditions have been met?
Those other set items don't have an ED% partial/full set bonus

This sounds plausible enough. I'll take it. Immortal King's Detail and Milabrega's Robe also have %ED as a set bonus and static defense with base +1. Apparently there is no full set %ED (would work like Defiance aura, so I guess that's why).
Thanks for the insight, Shadowheart. I'm oblivious.
