Waht teh 'ell is taht?(click to show/hide)
the part with "All..."
it's actually permanent, even after retirementArmour and not armor. One is British and the other is American. Normally you can choose which one you want to use, as long as you keep to that language (no mixing British and American English) but this is supposed to be Ye Olde English, which has the British grammar rules. (armour, colour etc.)
and what is wrong with the english?
You guys....
If an Admin alt-Tabs you see this message.
Go on a heavy Admin infested leech server like Defend the Village.
Everytime you see that message an Admin or Developer has Leech Charged - Alt tabbed - And is fapping until the round is over :P Pefect timing to TK that naked peasant unnoticed :idea:
huh is alt tabing penalized?
I often alt tab AFTER death, to come back immediatly when round over sound is played...
You also shot at least 2 teammates to death that map... Not that I can claim to have done much better...

chadz! Provide numbers! How can I min/max without them!
Well, probably it's just nothing. It states that you have a better understanding of weapons and armor, so it is rather linked to the player. Happens given some esoteric reason and has no effect apart from general craze about it.
That would be what I personally expect from chadz here. Furthermore, everything he said about it is correct :mrgreen:
Besides, 18/18 is for the boring!Hey!
You failed the meme.
Lies :P
With a thought to the bonus: Text mentions both arms and armour so a reduction in upkeep seems plausible since upkeep is all that all items have strictly in common. Still, it hardly makes much(but a little) sense that experience with a given combination of gear should pay off like that.This would make perfect sense. Gah! I wanna know! Almighty chadz! Please share your divine knowledge with us!
Imo a "set-bonus" kinda thing is possible, providing advantages with current gear when all is weared. It certaintly is realistic that a fighter should be more proficient with a set of items after breaking it in. Following that line of thought I'm thinking a reduction of the wpf-penalty from armor. In this case weapons would not be directly affected but are atill neccesary for set-bonus.
Zanthos, do you switch out your armor and weapons fairly regularly? Since the message mentions being good with your armor and weapons, I'd assume its tied to the use of specific items. I'd like to know if Goretooth has gotten the message, since he tends to kill half the team each round and has worn the same loadout for the last few days.
Got it! after a killing streak, but that wasn't related apparently.
no change in stats, upkeep is the exact same. WHAT DOES IT DO?
also i do tend to wear my default gear pretty much all the time.
EDIT:
[08:30] <@chadz|afk> it's an attempt to go away from the excel-min-maxing, towards a roleplaying game
It will be revealed.. in time.
For the time being I can drop you get another carrot:
Try to concentrate the bonus on the same set.

I've done some research but none of the boots in-game appear to be of the proper set. Also, is that the only helmet of the "set?".

I wear, pretty much without fail:

I've received that message about 8 times now. So I'm pretty sure it does mean your personal "sets" of gear.

yeah, doubt it has anything to do with kills and deaths, because i usually always have good kills with minimum deaths, i played yesterday for most of the day in the same gear and i still haven't seen this message, we'll see what today brings, i feel left out... :(
You're a merc, you should be left out :twisted:

I think what chadz meant with a set is that the bonus is applied to your equipment so if you change a lot then your gonna have boosted equipment that you don't use. So if you stay with one set then they get all the boosts and thus gets stronger.
Feel free to figure it out, that one is a secret :)It's a positive thing and we have to figure it out ourself (duh)
(protip: getting that message is a very, very, good thing)
theres a random componentIt has a random chance to happen. BUT! He says component so there are other factors that also trigger it. People are saying they get it after playing good, so it is based on KD, No TK, No FF, Dealt lot of damage (to enemy) or any mix of these.
For the time being I can drop you get another carrot:Since he said my last post was "closest one so far" I'm gonna say the same thing here. The bonus/boost/whatever is given to your equipment (weapon, armour, horse) and not your character. That doesn't mean it's not a wpf bonus or anything, but you have to use that equipment to get that bonus (whatever it is).
Try to concentrate the bonus on the same set.
I wonder what the fuss is about.1. it works for ranged, 2 it should be pretty obvious to figure out. After having read some of the replies here, I can see a lot of stupid suggestions so it might be that easy to figure out anyway (at least for people without my 1337 deduction skillz).
It's self explanatory, isn't it?
(oh and it works for ranged too)
it's actually permanent, even after retirementBasically we keep the bonus even after retirement. Thus it would also be possible that it is the lower requirement thingy, but it can still be any of the other possible bonuses.
yes, horses too. if it's alive and used, that is.It applies to ALL equipment and not just weapons and armour (as it says in the text). So it can apply to your headgear, torso, boots, gloves, weapons, ammo, horse, shield etc.
So. Is this a good recap of what we know/think? Did I hit jackpot with any of my thought chadz? At least tell me what parts are completely and utterly wrong? (PM if you want to keep it from the others too)
Damn, I love me some riddles and mysteries!
Or PM it to everybody else to keep him riddling forever ;)
Does it only apply when you're wearing all the items you wore when you got it, or does it apply when I'm "breaking" my set by, say, switching boots?
I think what chadz meant with a set is that the bonus is applied to your equipment so if you change a lot then your gonna have boosted equipment that you don't use. So if you stay with one set then they get all the boosts and thus gets stronger.
Any way to tell what stuff is boosted? I can't really remember what I was using when I got it.
Maybe it's just a temp hp buff. But didn't someone say they got it while they were dead?
I don't know if it's been posted or not because I'm too lazy to fucking read the topic like a normal person =(
I got this message while using my pike (I had my armor, pike, and awlpike in my inventory). Masterwork pike, balanced awlpike. When I got the message, no changes ingame. However, on the site, it says I now have a tempered awlpike despite not actually using it for combat. I might remove the awlpike and see if I can upgrade some of my armor, assuming this isn't just a 1 time only thing.
it just takes away the neg wpf you get form wearing heavey gearAlright, but what determines when you get the bonus, and how long does the bonus last?
i mean what ells could it be with out braking the game?

Excel-min-maxing IS the nature of roleplaying games. Pretty much all of them that have stats and math period. RPG's were created by geeks, for geeks and mathematical min-maxing/number crunching has always been at the heart and soul of them.Only crappy ones are dominated by it. Better ones are dominated by creativity, logic and ability to connect things and see everything as possibility. Oh and ones not giving freedom are not Rpg's, they are just some other games using some "excel-min-maxy" statsystems and trying to yell how they are all about playing role even when they are not... for example (approximately 100 percently) every single computer 'rpg'... :P
Only crappy ones are dominated by it. Better ones are dominated by creativity, logic and ability to connect things and see everything as possibility.
Sadly or not, mathematical min/maxing is the core of any RPG. I remember when we didn't even have a calculator and I was planning my builds on paper, good times :D

I'm not so sure that wearing the same set all day increases ur chances to get the chadztext. Yesterday i was playing on battle server for about 2-3 hours with the same set. When the map changed i got bored and changed to strange armor set. After 2 rounds bang i got it.
I think the idea is to keep the same set to get the bonuses (?) on only one set.
did you level up too? I never got it, ppl told me it happens around leveling.
did thou check if it lowers the requirements/difficulty of a weapon/armor? Oobut decrease the requirements Riding too good bonus :|

My opinion comes from a childhood of playing:True
Chainmail
D&D, 1st ed, revised, 2nd ed, 3rd ed

Nightbane and many other Palladium systems

Steampunk
Cyberpunk
Dabbling in a few others here and there
I wasn't even talking about computer/video game RPG's, which are hardly RPG's in anything but numerical mechanics almost every time (some have good stories, and the original NWN was probably the best crpg ever given player created/run persistant worlds). Still, at their core, they are a mathematical system begging to be min/maxed, used and abused, exploited and ravaged. Otherwise we wouldn't have RPG "systems" and would still be outside playing pretend without dice or books.

closest one so far :)Just reminding you. chadz said we were close, might be trolling, might be not.
Then i play as Archer with longbow and 130 wpf I get the message - "your WPF in bow too low"
so maybe this "chadztext" reduces the requirements WPF for weapons. :mrgreen: Although the "chadztext" has to act and on the horses too, and they are without WPF requirements)), but decrease the requirements Riding too good bonus :|
Just a shot here but, Nothing? Nothing happens?
I got it, no where near a level, did not kill anyone in the last ten seconds, and it was about 1 second before someone died.
Confused, but at least I use the same gear from level 17 and on up, sometimes earlier.
I still think it's something very simple, like +1 damage or armor. It can affect any gear that you are wearing at the time, just like heirlooming. It's also supposed to be rare (I and many others still haven't seen this message), so I don't expect the bonuses to be too trivial.
The wording of the phrase is a lot like RPG code for "you've leveled up." It could be that all/one of the pieces of gear you are wearing has "leveled up" and increased many of its stats. We just can't see the increases. At least not yet. Honestly, how noticeable is a single +1 damage, speed, or armor in practice?
Also, there has to be something better than "chadztext."
I don't think it is this because as far as I know you cannot change items on the fly, each item needs it's own database entry (hence heirlooms are copies of the regular items with better stats). Much more likely a hidden +x to some stats I'd guess.

Generally more likely, however it is possible to change the values after it has left the database, for example, when you query the database and put it into a variable the character table in the database could have a "bonus" and a "item with bonus" and if ("item with bonus" == "item") then "item damage" = "item damage" + "bonus" and such like, but that's just saying that it is do-able.
Still none the wiser though, although I do enjoy trying to work out what the different things added do, I think there becomes a limit on how long I find it worthwhile working it out.
How about "purple rain"? :mrgreen:
Ah, to clarify I was talking about the Warband Engine, afaik you need an extra entry in that database for every item with different stats. Still, only looked a bit or they might have changed it, but then I wonder why they still have heirlooms as seperate items around.
Just got it right after I spawned in a round. Was doing fairly well a few rounds before, but I was 2 and 3 that round so nothing fancy there.
I wasn't close to leveling.
My current stats at the time of receiving the message:

I haven't yet checked to see if my items changed at all, but yeah.
Yay... I guess?
Been playing alot since patch and still dont got this message :(
Nah, carrots are boring.
Do you have fully heirloomed gear?
Or has anyone who got the message retired already (after it)?

Maybe you need to accumulate a certain number of these messages with equipment and then you can give your armor/weapons a personal, unique name.
Oh, and I have never gotten the message on my main or my alts.
Maybe you just suck? Play more often.
You say that to one of the best archers around (if not THE best) that had 91 gen xD
Maybe your chances of getting the message increase after you've gotten it.
Kind of like when you retire you get exp bonuses or whatever, making you level faster?
Idk, I've never gotten the message or retired so I'm kind of taking ashitedit: OMG, loltypo-- SHOT in the dark here. Haha.

well i was doing pretty well, think i had something like 16/1 kill death ratio, was doing well on previous maps aswell, pretty much worn the same armour and used the same gear since i started playing, been playing for a fair few hours, i leveled up shortly before aswell, that's all i can say really... :)

The question is...
Is the message just an info about something you did? like "you got 100k exp more!"
or is the message random and doing something special?
argh its hard to write what i mean.
Dunno if that try helps:
Is that Message triggered by something?
or does that message trigger something?

you have a better chance seeing this if you are 30+?
some kind of achievement?
"do thousand steps in that boots"
"do 200 hitting swings with that weapon"
"do 50 succesful blocks with that weapon"
"die 1337 times with that gloves"
"get 300 headshots with that helmet"
and so on. would be interesting imho. maybe some bonus-exp for such stuff.
(guess i will work over that list and post it in teh suggestions-forumz)
That would make allot of sense since we are all getting it at different times, levels and what not
In Grand Theft Auto 3, if you beat 100 Taxi missions in a row, you got a red taxi with spike covered bumpers.
Please add a taxi with spike covered bumpers to cRPG, thank you.
A terrible thing came to my mind, please don't tell me that you need FULL freaking set to get this message, have been playing without headarmor because an archer character and haven't got the message while playing with same equipment from about lvl14-29 almost 30..... If that isn't the case I think I just then have a awfully bad luck..... :cry:

exactly, so we dont think about strategious... i say its a trap :)

I beleive the bonus is increased xp.
I've been playing 80 hours the week, and dont receive the message. Play only battle mode (sometimes siege).
Actually, the market idea is very discriminating against those that aren't in clans.
Thinking that already?
just wait till people figure out what the mysterious text does...
chadz posted a carrot somewhere about the market. I'll find it.

Speculation?I'd like to ask just one thing to all the people who got the "what is that" message. Did you get it with your main, or with an alt, or you hadn't choosed your main at that moment ?
Interesting. So knowledge of weapons is something that should happen more often (or have a greater effect) for who isn't in a clan.
I remember chadz saying something about chadztext like a way to add a roleplay flavour into the mod, maybe the "originality" of your equipment set has a role on the chances
lower chance for breaking some piece of equipment by 1% every time? and permanetlythen i hope i get it 100 times :mrgreen:

The random factor is the fact that this message isn't tied to anything whatsoever, and just randomly appears for no reason and with no effect.

I'd like to ask just one thing to all the people who got the "what is that" message. Did you get it with your main, or with an alt, or you hadn't choosed your main at that moment ?I'm guessing this guy is the one who is the closest.
Cause if it's only with our main, and if we can't see it on cRPG, it's maybe because it's actually a minor buff for strategus. Like you will be able to craft that sort of equipment for less materials. And if you have enough "what is that" message on the same equipment, you might be able to craft an heirloomed version of it.
Thus the fact that clan will more benefit of having a person with a lot of "what is that" message.
I love speculating.

All joking aside. I think what chadz meant with a set is that the bonus is applied to your equipment so if you change a lot then your gonna have boosted equipment that you don't use. So if you stay with one set then they get all the boosts and thus gets stronger.
EDIT: OOOH chadz is here! Finally time for the Great Reveal!?!?!?
closest one so far :)
How more posts how more confused it gets... :s.
But reduced slots? That doesn't make sense... you can "max" it :c. to 0 slots. You can't max speed, or damage. You can max chanche, either 0% or 100%.
Subtracting slots wouldn't make sense...
Oh damn...
Any more ideas anyone?
Whatever it is, it will be nerfed into oblivion so that all the grinding is wasted, like everything in this mod.
Your knowledge of the items, ofc.
...i think damage can be changed by for example sharpening the edge :wink:
Damage: I don't see how this can affect the base damage, but knowing how to use your weapon IRL would make it more usefull, maybe in-game it would change the base damage. Possible.
...
Or embluntening it for blunt weapons
I like where this is going... :lol:(click to show/hide)
I think the new weapon thing somepeople were mentioning is a marketplace bug.
I've gotten it on my balanced sword of war, and that isn't fully heirloomed yet I don't have a 'new' version of the sword in my inventory.
Unless I got screwed out of the buff!
I still have not received this dam message :(
Oh damn...
Any more ideas anyone?
And what does knowledge of items do?
How about we do a example in real life.
Your used to an item and you know how it works. What will change that? Let's look at the item stats in game.
Weight: Obviously can't change. If you know how to handle a weapon it won't get lighter?
Weapon length: Also can't be changed, makes sense.
Difficulty: Now that i think about it.... this one would make sense! Haven't thought about a difficulty drop. And this is testable, right?
Speed rating: Possible. You know how to handle an item and are more proficient with it, thus you can use it faster.
Damage: I don't see how this can affect the base damage, but knowing how to use your weapon IRL would make it more usefull, maybe in-game it would change the base damage. Possible.
Slots: I can't think up of anything how this can be changed if you use your item more. Actually this can't be applied IRL?
I'm probally missing some stats from ranged projectiles and armor, but if it is one thing, it's a stat that is on every item... which would be either difficulty or weight.
Remember, this is only a speculation if the chadztext would change any of the item stats. We don't even know yet if it does that.
I like where this is going... :lol:
Let us wallow in our collective sadness.

I've had the same experience Bale. I just got the message a few hours ago and I just checked my inventory on the site and suddenly I have the well-bred courser i was using at the time as well as a heavy courser. I've never used the marketplace.
This is incorrect. I've never got the message, but I have a Masterwork Poleaxe and two Mighty Poleaxes. The extra/different heirloomed items is simply a display/site bug of sorts, and has nothing to do with the message.
maybe so.. but why would the stats be different? Even named Scary Great Axe? When that item does not exist.
ok then my last argument for it....
on the website for my main if I put the mighty great axe in the spawn build and look it says the mighty great axe takes up one slot.
on my alt character i also have a great axe just reg version and that says it takes up 2 slots when i put it in the build.
Why would that be different?
The two axes in my inventory have different str reqs. The new and better one is 14 str and the regular is 15. If I can equip it at 14 str will tell me I imagine. I have 7 and climbing. I can prove or disprove myself in a few more lvls I guess.
ive never had the messageme too, seems its really only for lower levels. mh, another reason to retire someday. but not to soon. perhaps Ill start another alt instead.

too bad that in a 32 page thread most of the post`s are useless...Exactly my thought!
still waiting for the purple fu*ker to pop up ...Yeh, i was also getting a little frustrated not getting that text. Had it last night on a level 30 alt. Still no clue what causes it.
Got it 9 times in total.
And believe it or not. 3 TIMES TODAY!
2 times on Battle with Strawhat, Tunic with vest, stones, scythe, wrapping boots and also the same as the other one but with Pike and without strawhat. And 1 time on duel servers with Novogrod Helm, Sarranid Elite Armor, Lamellar Gauntlets, Bec de Corbin and Sarranid Mail Boots.
I do not know what this does :shock:

(is there any way you could tell me mine? I've been panicking because I got it with a weapon I hardly ever use)
Also atleast tell me 1 thing. Since we don't know what this does would you advice me to keep 1 of these sets instead of selling? If they really are special so to speak.
Must be related to leveling, I have been wearing the same gear for the past month or so (accumulated almost 8 million xp in the process) but didn't level up so I never got it. Either that or I am incredibly unlucky.
Definetly not related to kills or k/d ratio.
Those are very low stats, no harm in using something else.

guess, better gear u have, less chance u have to get it
Anyone above level 31 (or level 31) seen the text?me not.

I normally wear the black ( sarranid? ) boots,
yeah, I have the feeling it's related to the new strategus economy, it's random but you have more chance to trigger, it with low tier gears, it hits when you are near just after a level up and it's needed to differentiate the boredom of having all clans using the same kind of armors in strategus(click to show/hide)
I can't believe people are still writing things in this thread 35 pages later. it really doesn't matter, and if it does then there is no point speculating as its random so just let chadz get around to telling what it is and forget about it.We like to entertain chadz with our theories because an happy chadz is a coding chadz
Perhaps its based on using the exact same equipment for a long time? Then you get a small boost to the attributes of the equipment you are currently using. (my guess)
has anyone had it when their gen 1?Yep, on the duel server with my gen 1 polespammer Phazhe.

maybe when you use a weapon where you don't have wpf in? and than have a good k/d?
i got it too, yesterday, normal day
i did use it when i used an armor that probably no one else would use qau combination:originality in the equipment choice was my first thought about trigger possibility, but it sounds pretty hard to be

On the website my balance war spear appears as a tempered war spear...
Hmm. I played my char with the same equipment for a whole generation. I leveled him till half of level 31 and i still did not get that message. Either that or i got it when i was alt-tabbed and did not notice. Sad-Sonja is sad.
Don't worry about getting the chadztext while alt-tabbing, you can only get it when you are alive. This is probably the only confirmed thing that we know.
Also I wonder how does it work in the duel server, since many people got it there, because theorically leaving your character sitting there the whole day could get it triggered. Unless of course it happens only when your character is moving/attacking... But then you can just leave the charcter in automove... uhm new frontiers for the leechers
Perhaps you need to be actively engaged in a duel (have pressed "F") for it to have the possibility of triggering?Maybe, but then you just need to find a buddy and start a duel you won't ever end. This of course assuming that you don't need to do anything special and the triggering is just random
1 vs 28 (at 3min59) - then 1 vs 15 (at 3min57)... means 13 kills in 2 seconds! you played against chadz, huh?

I hate that I switch gear so much.
I switch gear quite often (usually dress according to the map- desert, I wear sarranid, snow, I wear fur robes and such, cities I wear light shirts/leather) and I've gotten this in multiple gear sets, on multiple characters.+1
*raises hand* I have a question!
Is the buff tied to the player, or to the piece of equipment? For example, suppose I sold my spiked helm that I know has '1' of these buffs on it, and swapped it for an identical helm in the market. Would the new helm I bought retain the buff (tied to player) or would the buyer of my helm have unknowingly gotten a buffed version (tied to item)?
If it's the latter I think it's really important that it is reflected somewhere on the item.
I've got some questions for anybody who's had this message and is willing to answer them:Interesting idea.
Have you ever gotten this message more than once in a single level? (if so, how many times max?)
Have you ever gotten this message while wearing something other than your default inventory? (betting somebody has, but I was wearing default)
For those that have gotten this while switching armor recently beforehand, do you often wear the armor that you got the message with?

So I found this thread and spent about an hour reading through the whole thing cause I enjoy wasting time.
from lvl 31 to lvl 33 never got it, and still waiting..
I noticed that you do not get this message on NA_Siege. When I got it for the first time, it was on Battle as an archer, I lived for a few round, and got a message that said thine arrow blah blah. Do you think it is a buff for 1 round?
chadztext= smith skill
Care to link that, Hunter? Or at least explain why it has the exact same time as Voodox's post?
You only get it at level 30 or below.
zomg.
so we must grind?? NEVER!!!
There's a new feature called respec, wich allows you to be lv30 for your ENTIRE life. No grinding. More pink texts. More fun builds. No more peasants. :(
You mean skip the fun?
am i onlyone who have never had this? :(
respec at cost of 50%xp, you still have to grind the other 50%... And skip the fun will never have chadztext...
-We can cuddle up together, taking turns on which shoulder to cry on, because I have never had it either.
It's all just a scam, really. REALLY.
+3 WHAT ? is the question here i know +3 but +3 what i don't see any changes to the weapon states in the equipment screen
Smithing in Strategus and finding nuclear vessels
This might change a bit, but:
there will be about a dozen raw materials.
Every village has 3 materials it can produce.
the owner can shift the production balance.
the amount of resources produced is defined by the workers in the village.
the workers are other players who get a gold wage, defined and given out by the village owner.
the real item production will then happen in towns.
a town can produce up to 5 goods at the same time.
the village owner can set a smith.
the smith's skill defines of what quality (=heirloom) the produced item is.
the amount of workers in the town (=players) define how many items will be produced.
there will be other (individual) ways of creating weapons, but that will be very slow and not feasable to equip an army with it.

I just got it on my alt, so now I'm curious what it is, but I don't wanna read the whole thread...
Somebody care to explain in one post?
You get it and you get +3 smith points for everything you are wearing, and -1 to everything else.
You need unknown smith points in Strat to smith heirlooms and fight dragons.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and you can't get this message if you are too high level.
heeheehahaahahhahh *wheeze*
Wait hang on are you serious ?
Everything but the dragon, yes.

I'd like to ask just one thing to all the people who got the "what is that" message. Did you get it with your main, or with an alt, or you hadn't choosed your main at that moment ?
Cause if it's only with our main, and if we can't see it on cRPG, it's maybe because it's actually a minor buff for strategus. Like you will be able to craft that sort of equipment for less materials. And if you have enough "what is that" message on the same equipment, you might be able to craft an heirloomed version of it.
Thus the fact that clan will more benefit of having a person with a lot of "what is that" message.
I love speculating.
now was that trolling or not :)
also, let me tell you that from what I've seen, at least one person got it 99% right. not gonna tell you who and when/what page, of course :]
I also love being nearly right and read. Anyway, so much for the ego.
How do you get it still seems very random. Surviving in battle seems to help. So need a minimum of time "alive" wearing the equipment, probably.
I've been doing a all new gen, with the same equipment since lv13 (except for the weapon, i like to change it), and never received it. As a polearm, weapons depends on the situation (long spear for open maps, poleaxe if many shielders, ironstaff to spam archers, etc...) so i'll try as a 2h with the EXACT same equipment, weapon included, and i'll see how it goes. Wish me luck.
i got the text yesterday, but nothing changed... its useless
I just got it! I dont care that its useless I just feel lucky :D
Does this mean if someone were to somehow get the message while wearing five completely different sets of gear, they would then have a negative modifier on every item in the game? (-1 on everything worn during the messages, -5 on everything else)
It's still in. Surhay got it twice recently. One with his alt on the duel when we were practicing chambering. The other with his main on DTV.Was that before or after 0.234

never had it :cry:
Feel free to figure it out, that one is a secret :)
(protip: getting that message is a very, very, good thing)
I had 9 kills and two deaths and was at the top of my leaderboard at end of map rotation, I wonder if this needs a 5 K/D ration, or like 15 kills or something...
oh im noobish to certain things what does craft do in strat?When crafting is introduced you will be able to craft heirloomed weapons and armour. Getting that weapon means you get
When crafting is introduced you will be able to craft heirloomed weapons and armour. Getting that weapon means you get +2 on all the items and -1 on EVERY item you did NOT have equipped. Therefore, using the same set of equipment is a good thing if you get that message (since you then you can craft masterwork items).
Not sure if I remember right, but you can't go beneath the basic. So you will never make "broken/bent/rusty" equipment. The -1 only applies to any +2 you've already got but didn't wear when you got the message again.

+3 for your equipment, not +2.Ahh, thanks. I was a bit unsure actually. Edited it in my post.
But everything else is correct and nicely explained.
I've got that message but nothing has happened? =ONothing will happen. The bonus is also in strategus (crafting items for an army) and doesn't affect your cRPG character or equipment at all.
Wait, but according to Mtemtko he usually gets that message when he switches equip around, in fact I've almost never seen this message myself and I always use the same equip. So I'm not sure if using the same set of equip all the time is actually the best way to take advantage of that message.Getting it while switching around gear can be both good and bad. It makes you able to craft more varied types of equipment, but it makes the boost less (because of the -1) making them not MW but x2 or x1.
