Low lvl question

[old.SOSAGES]

Lo all..

Made my self a NS lvl 24 and had a dig through my vaults for stuff to give him
ended up giving him 2 lvl 50 rings a lvl 50 necklace some lvl 47 gem and 2 lvl 50 bracers lvl 50 cloak and a lvl 36 belt

Now...

when i put each of this items on they said they were fine and increased what ever stat they said they would do so i happily had +5 to most skills like venom and cs..

anyway i put on one bracer a lvl 50 drop from fomor and that worked fine i then put on my warshade bracer i had laying around and it said the power of the bracer failed to affect me..
The same is true for another bracer i used "blue crystal bracer" ..
whats the deal with that then? any ideas

<--noob

I thought all lvl50 stuff got the 'magic fails to affect you message' interesting... Perhaps theres a hidden stat in there somewhere, are the %bonus values different?

i have various lvl 50 items as listed and i know that if i start of naked and then put on one of the rings that offers me %to heat and matter they do go up and they are lvl 50 rings all my stats are capped because of this except Cold and thats on 3% from my necklace i was going to use the WS bracer for its 10% to cold but it dont work nor does the blue crystal one as it has 10% cold as well..

all in all very confusing and i have no idea whats special about these items

I had same problem, Some would give me the stated stat, Then other would say 'Fails to effect you', Never really thought it worth mentioning, But nice to know im not alone

imo dont use warshade bracers on level 24 alts

I have seen this msg appear on either to high items than the chracters lvl's and i think on Quest items that wouldn't affect you untill you completed the quest, i didn't actually bother alot with it to examine details.
But as an idea have you seen the msg appear only on classic camelot items or on SI items too? Maybe there was a secret lvl requirement stat on some classic camelot items, but it can't be or was forgoten to be implemented to the Unique Items generator of SI and now with 1.62 of frontiers also?

i think its because the stats have certain lvl requirments (and i dont mean like lvl 50 bracer) im not too sure its like in spellcrafting the gems are different lvls the higher the stat the higher the lvl kind of thing
im pretty sure they range from lvl 1-25 though
just a thought and probably not right but best thing i can think of given you can use some lvl 50 items at 24 and not others

always been able to use items at lvl 25 though

it's kinda different for different things really....some items are wearable at any level, some I think you need to be within a level range to get the magic to work for you. Tend to find those things the bloody DF merchants sell all fall into the later category as I've found out to my cost (in diamond seals that is). I just know I tried making a druid once and gave it an old cloak of my wardens....can't remember the name but lvl 37ish i think...mantle of forgotten power os som weird thing like that...anyway, wouldn't imbue me with any + emp at lvl 1-5 but since I did this cool /level 20 the thing works, go figure eh?



....hmm, I think I might still be slightly drunk

could be..

WS bracer and blue crystal bracer both before SI and none affect me
all my SI lvl 50 items DO..

i also have a lvl 36 belt from CM and them stats work..
So maybe just lvl 50 old world items dont work..
