[probably not a bug] can equip a red backgrounded item?

Postby LordSith » Thu Jul 30, 2020 6:07 pm

Hi,

My centaur death knight can wield the +1 broadsword from the secret room in the first map.
But that item appears red... so i shouldn't be able to equip it?

I think that's not a bug but only a sign for "not proficient with". Misleading color (because red background item in most game = not usable).

Yup, not a bug, just means you're not proficient with this weapon's weapon group. All classes and races can equip all weapons and armour, so there would be no use for a red background to mean that it's not usable. Cheers :)

ah ok. I didn't know.
Maybe the help in game should have a page explaining UI colors and stuff? (if it exists, i didn't find it when i played the game the first time last year.)

Thank you. Okay, I think I will add this bit in the tutorial module:

A red background behind a magic-scroll icon means that the character does not have the required class to activate the scroll.
A red background behind a weapon or armour icon means that the character is not proficient with that item's weapon group or armour type.
However, all classes and races can equip all weapons and armour.


Cheers :)
