Weapon Damage Shows a minus sign when equiped

[shadow56]

Have a question that hopefully someone can answer. Example I have a Silver Sword in my inventory. It shows

 

Silver Sword

Damage 35 as an example

 

When it is equipped the Damage has points subtracted by a number example (-10) which is shown in red. That in turn changes the damage of the sword from 35 to now 25.

 

Now it's stats are:

 

Silver Sword

 

25 (-10) in red

 

I have looked everywhere for the possible solution. Manual that came with the game and the guidebook. I cannot find the reason why or the way to fix it. Can anyone help.

As I've understood it, the red minus/green plus figure shows the comparisation to your currently equipped item.

 

So, for example I have iron sword equipped, the total damage is shown in the bottom of the screen, let's say it's 15. If I hover my mouse over a steel sword, the

total damage changes to what it would be if I'd equip the steel sword.

 

Maybe this is the case? Haven't seen my weapons lose damage like that.

As Dowly says. the + or - is the weapon your holding your mouse over in your inventory compared to the equipped weapon / armor your currently using.

and imo thats quite a nice feature that helps a lot to compare whats better between the weapons your using to new ones you find/make.

Sadly when I mouse over my equipped weapon it shows me a + or - for it as if it's doing less damage than it actually is.I have to remove and re-equip it to get it to show the right damage.
