Those are referred to as Sleeper items. They cannot be made into Masterwork except for the HM recipe drops, and Masterwork is a MASSIVE boost over a simple +9. I saw my first one today, actually; it was better for many reasons. First off, it gained extra lines at 1/3/5/7/9/10/11/12 instead of 3/6/9, AND 4 lines before the +lines even come into effect. Yes, 6-8 extra potential lines over anything else aside from a few Sigil/Suryati drops and a handful of World Boss set drops, and even those are still trumped by at least 3-4 lines. The second obvious is the obscene bonus upgrades over +9 give. The third is the potential lines themselves are buffed and a few new ones are even added; aspd% goes up slightly to 9% a line, % damage on various stuff goes up anywhere from 50-75% of their original values, raw stat values (3-5 per line) are enabled, other modifiers are buffed slightly. The main focus is, 9% attack speed and +3-5 Power. The one I saw was +11 t13 disc with 4 lines of +Power and 2 of attack speed, along with a few others; for a sorc, I would have just gotten as many aspd lines as possible, but eh, with THAT MANY LINES the cost to reroll the potentials is upwards of 1K gold per attempt (you need 13 powders that cost like 30G or something per line you want to lock, so near the end it would be absurdly expensive...though worth it, since t13 is the best we are going to have for a very long time anyway, I suppose).
