Alright, so say i wanna equip a weapon with req 120 dex but i have 111 dex. I can't equip it right? right.
Now, what if that weapon gives +9 dex, then i would have the required Dex to equip it correct?
I don't think this is right, just want clarification.

    nope, doesnt work

    in fact, even if you had a different weapon that gave you +9 and bumped you up to 120 dex, and then you replaced it with the 120 dex req weapon, it wouldnt work. The weapon would appear to be equipped but not actually work.

    hope that was confusing enough.

    That example wouldn't work as you can't actually equip it till you have the right amount of the stats it needs. But if you have for example some pants with +9 dex which you equip first then it would work.

    The requirement for the weapon is 120 dex. you wouldn't be able to recieve that +9 dex bonus until you equip it. Just think of the +9 dex as an added reward for being able to equip the weapon. Get my point?

    will that work? ;o

    according to the guy it wont

    Well unless the +9 dex bonus on the wep will apply to the stats.

    ;o

    makes sense, thanks! :D

    you have to have the 120 to equip it hence the other equip you need then you equip it and youll have the bonus and can unequip the other+dex items, pretty sure it works think ive tried it before with str

    It doesn't work that way. As soon as you un-equip the item(s) that allowed you to equip it in the first place, it will go red even if the items bonuses it has would push the needed stat high enough.

    Basically, you need to have the base stat high enough to equip something before you get the bonuses the items itself gives.

    Really? Given the case of say 93 dex, 100 needed to equip, and pants and sword both give dex, I would have thought that you could equip pants, giving 100, equip sword for 109, unequip pants for 100 again.

    Let me explain it easier to understand.


    You have 93 dex base.

    Weapon needs 100 dex to equip, but gives +9 dex once equipped.

    Pants can be equipped at 93 dex and give +7 dex.

    So, you equip pants giving 100 dex which allows you to equip the weapon which then gives you and additional 9 dex taking it to 109.

    You then unequip the pants taking you back down to 93 dex because the weapon's bonus can only be applied once the required stats to equip the weapon in the first place are met. Since you don't meet the required stats to equip it to begin with you don't get the bonus.


    Short form : it doesn't work.
