Triangle beside item name?

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 4:29 pm

Yo! Just posting about how on some weapons/armor there is a small triangle beside the names in the menu.

Any idea what those are? At first I thought they were an icon that states you can upgrade them, but when I did, they didn't go away.

No information on them in the manual, neither paper nor in-game.

What gives?

I thought it was something that shows you have an "equip" slot remaining, or it highlights set items or your most powerful items in your inventory? Its one of those lol.

In a loading screen or in the help menu I read that the triangle means that weapon might be better/more efficient than your current equipped weapon.

Or a higher defense bonus, if you're looking at armor.

I really don't understand the whole triangle up, weapon/armor showing (+28) etc system. Can anyone please link the manual? I bought it on Steam so obviously I'm missing something! Some things in the game are very confusing to me so far. Mainly weapons/armor.

thanks

Weapon/armor +28 means the item gives 28 more damage/armor than what you have equipped.Blue is good red is worse.
