Equipping armor... stats are not added correctly.

[WindyWaffles]

I had a whole write-up on this, then had to delete because now the game is still adding stats incorrectly, but different numbers this time. I honestly can't even describe what's happened, guess I'll have to make a video if no one knows what I'm talking about.

Basically... I'm testing armor (head and body gear) stats. First, +stat values are being incorrectly previewed unless I move the cursor away, and then back again.

THEN, the stats that do display, are just wrong. Example: if something gives +10 HP and +1 DEF, instead gives +18 HP and -1 DEF.

What is even going on here? My game does have passive skills, but this is a low level test and no characters have them yet. Another piece of gear, body armor, IS giving correct values (except for the first preview). Are different pieces of gear weighted differently or something?

Do you have a plug-in which adds item variance? If so that is the cause there. Otherwise you need to check if you have a state which is giving 180% HP somewhere, as that would change 10 HP to 18 HP.

the most common example of what bgillisp is talking about is yanfly's item core.
it isn't specifically mentione in its description, but it adds item variance by default if not configured to not do this, and so far everyone who had a similar problem had that plugin installed.

Which is why I always repeat the single most important plugin rule:
ALWAYS configure EVERY plugin before continuing to the next.
If you don't know what a setting of the plugin does, then you need to learn what it stands for before continuing

NEVER place a plugin and then ignore it.

Wow, the simplest solution in the world... yup, Yanfly Item Core. THANK YOU to you both! I would have never even thought to check.
