Heya! I have a question about requirements for weapons and shields. I tried search, though it came up with some posts that didn't quite make sense...

Okay here the question is: I would like to wear a shield, though im a N/R. Im planning on taking one from the collector, as they have a low requirement in tactics level. I will get the highest armor level (lvl 16), but I won't be able to get the lvl 9 tactics... then what will happen? Will I get a minus ... AL for not having the tactics requirement? And what about the +45 health (while in a stance)? Will that change too?

Only the stat next to the requirement is affected, in this case armor rating. It'll drop to starter level shield rating, which I don't really know.

You will only get base defense as you cannot put anything towards tactics.

But you still can get the +45/-2 while in stance because rangers have stances.
Anything that requires something else can still be obtained without the primary effect. IE: Your shield will cover only minimal for an offhand, but will give you the effects while in stance if you really want it.
