Seems it is imposible to wear level 32 things even on level 33

Actually I think it's not right to fix clothes just because someone posted it here and said that he got it at X rank and item is X+Y level. This is wrong.
Somebody knows about Solace abit more, somebody abit less. And if he got it at 31 - it DOESNT mean I cant get it at 10 (for example for sure). And there's no doubt that even you, Kiri, may not know how to get this item at 10 (for example for sure) level. Coz in my life I heard a lot of questions from UG like: where did you get this item? And this? And how?
It's not throwing fingers. You just cant know all what know players just coz you dont play and its normal. And players arent the same. And making holywar from every post about evey item - it's damn stupid.

I vote to back up at least this change with clothes. All other changes will be tested too.

Another problem:
Mastering system of skills. I didnt checked yet all. But just tell me, how can new character to get mastered blocking skills? Except of searching of fat and higher by level and dont hurting much mob and kick him for ages. Coz  as I understood there is Number of block_tryings for each blocking skill before it would improve at 1%. I hate my enghlish, hope you understood what I meant.

And one more thing: How assassins can get mastered their assassinate skill now?  ;D I even cant imagine these poor guys who're trying to master it on higher mobs.. prepare 3+0 hours if i'm not mistaken.. the attempt.. then flee.. and then this mob already remember him and wont give him to prepare.. eveh hide doesnt work while you prepare..

Since it is possible to request item when you are 4 levels lower, all level reductions would be logical to be 4 ranks lower than item level, ie. items is level 27, you can use it on level 23 etc.
Idea: Items could be splitted in groups by their 'power points'. The weakest items like metallic longsword is 1 point and medallion of mishakal for example, 15 points.
For example character blabla is level1 and has total power 12 and he cant wear medallion of mishakal but on rank 10 his power is for example 20 and he can wear medallion but he will have only 5 points for the rest of slots. And in 'score' you can see how much is total power of items you are wearing and how much is total power of items you are able to sustain. And when you grow in rank, your pool of item power increases, so you can wear better items when you take levels. That will not prevent somebody who is low rank to use holy avenger for example, but it will make reduction to sacrifice most of  other slots because it will have to be empty.
This is something between ' nowday total reduction' and 'state before changes'.

ps. and instead  all 'reduction', should be replaced with 'restriction'... i didnt have enough sleep so my english failed, and now i am too lazy to edit post.

Please, stay close to the topic in this thread. It is only to report incorrect item levels.

I would say - not incorrect limited item level, but incorrect MOB level!

Think about it, better raise level of those mobile, who hold shinies. And not only level but mobprogs too.

+1000000000000000000

took at 20+ an acid-etched gladius, obsidian-laced copper axe, cant see its level  :)

Increasing mobiles in rank and strength is a good idea,  but very much work to do
