Goes to red from white? Being the initial state is white and it goes to red. I can also say it goes from white to red, but either way it doesn't change the meaning of the sentence.
Ah, I misread it. I thought you said it goes down from red to white. However, it is easier to read when you put it "from white to red," that might just be me though
With "it goes down to red from white", I can omit the last two words and people would still understand the context. That was my original intention but adding "from white" emphasized how much more sharpness got worn down.
It's a common readability thing. Yes, going down to red has a firm meaning, and then adding 'from white' is additional context.
However, when we talk about things ascending or descending (which, in this case, it is descending, as we are going from a better condition to a worse condition) and we intend to establish where the subject started in the same sentence, the most common wording, by far, is "from [start point] to [end point]." This is most common because it reads exactly as the motion described instead of the opposite of the motion described.
That is to say, the way you wrote it linguistically makes sense, but it goes against the common way sentences are constructed, and so is prone to being misread.
I should add some space and "..." for pause. My thought at the time was typing like a conversation: "Your sharpness goes to red.... From white." But then I forgot to do it.
However, I like the joke that it goes so low that it went back to full.
That would be interesting! You'd have to strike a balance finding a low enough ranked weapon so that it doesn't have a really high sharpness level, but not such a low rank that it would do awful damage! Ranged players would dominate though lol

You know? I don’t think I’d be disappointed.
