I just don't get this, any explanation? Isnt insig hindering less than minimal?

>inv armor
All of your armor:

a dark indigo robe
a dusky-grey cloth hood with silver studding
a pair of dusky-grey cloth gloves with silver buckles on the wrists
a pair of dusky-grey thick cloth pants cut to fit around a boot
[Type INVENTORY HELP for more options]
>app my robe careful
The dark indigo robe is cloth.

The robe looks like it offers protection for the following areas:

right arm
left arm
chest
abdomen
back

You feel confident that a dark indigo robe appears to impose light maneuvering hindrance and insignificant stealth hindrance, offering:
moderate protection and low damage absorption for puncture attacks.
low protection and poor damage absorption for slice attacks.
great protection and high damage absorption for impact attacks.
low protection and poor damage absorption for fire attacks.
high protection and good damage absorption for cold attacks.
good protection and fair damage absorption for electrical attacks.

If you were only wearing a dark indigo robe your maneuvering would be insignificantly hindered and your stealth would be minimally hindered.
But considering all the armor and shields you are wearing or carrying, you are currently minimally hindered and your stealth is insignificantly hindered.

I dunno if its a bug, but why would my stealth hinderence go down with the addition of the other armor (hood, gloves, pants)?

so my regular hinderence is going down with extra armor?

>>I thought the first line showed what the robe is without your armor ranks. The line with all your armor showed them all added up (plus mix penalties) while factoring in your ranks decreasing the hindrance.


That's the line before the protection and absorption stats are listed.

Either way there is an issue with one of them seemingly going down with more armor.

Minimal is definitely less than insignificant. It looks like an armor hinderance bug.

Not sure if it will make a difference but because I'm curious I'll suggest it. Try "sort auto headtotoe" and appraise your robe again.

Anyone else thats got a full cloth setup and over 50 ranks get the same thing?

I guess the real question is, is it a messaging bug, or an actual bug with the hinderance calcs?

Minimum armor hinderance varies by guild, so that is probably useful information to post.
