FS#5845 - Show weapon requirements
It happened to me twice already that I bought a good weapon for tens of thousands of tria, to then find out I need a lot of stats to equip it. And not only can’t I equip it, I don’t know whether it’s worth training for it either because nothing tells me how many more levels I need.
The game shows the effects (damage, speed) and the stats increases/decreases can be looked up in a book in the museum by analyzing the name. Could a way be implemented to know what stats and skills you need to use an item before buying it too? Either as part of identification, as a new separate identification spell for requirements or through some book?
Without that I’m very reluctant to buy anything at all as I spent too much money already on things that are useless to me.
Has my vote, as data collected by players on this subject is very sparse. I guess the majority of affixes comes with some stats requirements of which most are unknown (never noticed any skill reqs). I do not see a reason why this sort of information should not be added to future enhancements of the identification spells.
of Peace for example cannot even be worn with the old max stats (200) I think the requirement is 240 in one or more of the mental stats, to mention the worst example. This gets my vote, too. And if I get the choice I'll opt for the requirement display in the weapon description after item analysis. That would make that spell yet a bit more interesting.
