What is Effective Damage Level?

I believe Effective Damage is explained on this page in the wiki

i hav a sword thats req 8. after setting my sword attributes from 8-12, i notice i seem to do more base damage against other pvp players with the weapon. is this really happening?

TsunamiZ, if you have 12 swordsmanship, you do more damage than 8 swordsmanship.

as long as you meet the requirement for the sword, a req 8 will do the same damage as a req 13.
ex, you have 13 swordsmanship attribute,
having a req 8 sword will do the same damage as a req 13.

If you meet the requirement, it's treated at it's actual level (which in your case I presume is 15-22)
Your swordmanship level increases the percentage of dmg you actually do. 8 is pretty low, and I recall it's about 60% at 8 swordmanship. At 12 you do 100% of the dmg, and at 16 you do 115%. I don't know if you can call that 'hidden', but it is extra dmg yes.
A req. 11 sword at 12 swordmanship will do the exact same dmg as a req.7 sword at 12 swordmanship. (provided mods etc. are the same)
Your level also influences your active damage level, but since in PvP everyone is lvl 20 this doesn't affect PvP. (this is why lvl 28 elementalists are such huge dmg dealers, and this is why Ghostly Hero ownssssszzz people with Power Shot)
I hope I answered your question. If anything was unclear or left unanswered, feel free to PM me.
