Requirement Question

Ok 1st off i would like to add that there are currently 250+ threads containing the word requirement so please dont flame me here, i couldnt find what i was looking for.
The Cathans Targe Shield has 14 armor and requires 8 tactics.

What (if any) will this shield do if i does not have 8 in tactics ?

Does this affect anything if i increase my tactics (like from zero to four)
Or does this shield have Zero armor untill it receives a 8 in tactics.

anyone care to share some light on this ?

only a guess now but i believe it will act much like a wepon does when u use it at a lower req. It should provide some protection but at only a percentage according to what ur attr. level is in tactics

The shield functions like a newbie shield (3 armor) until you meet its requirement. At that point it begins to function as listed.

The game does not differentiate between 0 tactics and 7 tactics - if you don't meet the req, you don't meet the req, period.

Peace,
