I don't know if any of you have noticed this yet, but still, if you can, try it ._. ... Let's say you are a pirate. You wanna wear a level 100 overall, your level 100 boots and your reverse knuckle (like me). My overall have 10dex of potential, my boots have 10dex of potential as well. The thing is, that without my overall and boots I only have 95dex, that way I couldn't be wearing any of the itens I just listed there. Here's the interesting bug/glitch/thing (O.o) : If you equip something like for example a pendant (To clarify, I use a MoN, the exchange would be for a HTP so I have enough dex) than in that case I would have the dex enough to wear my gear, because I need 100dex to wear it. But the thing is that before potential itens existed in GMS, if I did that and after re-equiped my MoN, the itens would appear red in my equips UI and it would be like I wasn't wearing them... That's the weird about potential itens... since my overall and boots have dex in their potential, once i'm wearing it, it doesn't count as a stat that would appear only if I could wear it for real, so in that case, I can wear my level 100 gear and my rever knuckle with only 95dex in the first place x_x I'm sorry if it's too big but I wanted to clarify it. Anyway, share your thoughts and ideas if this is really a bug that's going to get fixed or if it happened to you already, if it's old news and i'm trolling, etc... xD Edit: Sorry about the "iteNs" thing xD in my country we only use "m" when it's in the end of the word, if it's plural we change it to "n"... anyway, sorry x) Edit2: I know it's really confusing, but I couldn't find a clearer way to say this x_x. The main thing here is that the potential of an item takes place in your AP regardless of the fact that you can or can't wear the gear in the first place, BUT you have to equip something else first that enables you to equip such potential gear and than take this gear that enabled you off. ... Still kinda confusing but I don't know any other way of saying it x_x you gotta experience it to see xD

I hate people who don't care about the title grammar while everyone is reading that first.

OH! I see. It's the same thing that happened with my reverse items. Don't worry it's not a glitch, just a stat-over sight. See, if you lack the stats for an item, and put on other items. It allows you to wear them. IF you put on multiple items that needed the stat AND add the stat for you need, they compensate for each other's need for a stat. The three items create a stat-formation. Me: My glove adds 7 dex, boots add 5 dex, and overall adds 7 dex. The boots and gloves cover for the overall. The overall and gloves cover the dex need for my boots. and the boots and overall do the same for the glove.

So, the 10 dex from your potential items allow you to wear stuff, even though you don't meet the required dex to wear it in the first place? Kinda confused, so that 10 dex is acting as if it's added before you wear the item?

[quote] ihavemeso : just need 5extra dex [/quote] It's not like that :S ... if you need the 5 extra dex, you wouldn't be able to wear the level 100 equips in the first place, even if they add this 5dex. This means that the potential of an item takes place in your AP regardless of the fact that you can't wear it, so if by any circunstance you managed to wear it and than took the gear that enabled you to wear it off, than the equip still stays in you. x_x

It's a simple "cover for each other" stat formation. It's complicated to understand or even stare at when you're wearing the items, but it works. NOT a glitch. :3

So if you sold your HTP, which made you wear your equips in the first place, and for some reason unequipped your clothing .. you'd be screwed?

So you can equip items now regardless of the base stat, due to the potential stat making up for it? Only thing is you have to get it on first? I think that's what your trying to say.

My Katara adds +4 to every stat and I have 31 STR (without the Katara). Yet I don't manage to equip my level 65 Fan, which requires 35 STR, because apparently I lack the required stats. I don't think potential items add stats to equip equipments, they just add damage or anything.
