You can still equip the item, but you do not get the full damage or defense of the item until you have the required attribute level or surpass it. The damage or defense you get goes up each time you put a point into the required attribute, however, though after the attribute level is attained, you do not gain additional damage or defense.

Now, this confuses me because I saw a chart (either here or on GWOnline.net) that I can't find now, saying you don't reach full weapon potential until you hit 12 in the weapon's corresponding attribute (even though the weapon may only req 9).

So which is true?

The full potential of a weapon would be the requirement on the weapon.

What you were reading "might" have been referring to pumping up the weapon attribute for the most possible damage.
