Title: Help with gears dfficulty
Post by: shanvhere on September 20, 2011, 03:12:47 am
I have looked on the forums and I see that in most cases, difficulty = str. i am currently using Italian Sword (11 difficulty) and a Huscarl's Round Shield (5 difficulty), I can NOT use the Shield and dont know why, and im level 16 with 15 difficulty. Does it work as if you need to add the difficulty to be able to wield the gear? like 11+5=16 STR?

You need 5 shield skill for the huscarl's round shield. All difficulties requirements are determined independently from each other, so you do not sum them like you posted. That is to say, having 15 strength would let you use any combination of armor pieces that have a difficulty of 15 or less, but you could not uses any armor piece with a difficulty of 16 or more.


Difficulty for horses is the amount of the riding skill needed.

Difficulty for body armor, helmets, gloves, boots, one handed weapons, two handed weapon, polearms, and crossbows is the amount of the strength attribute needed.

Difficulty for shields is the amount of the shield skill you needed.

Difficulty for thrown weapons is the amount of the power throw skill needed.

Difficulty for bows is the amount of the power draw skill needed.

We should sticky this in its own sub board, and redirect people asking "Why can't I use (x)", in the in-game chat, to it.
