Stat Question: Equiping gear from a corpse

[ZRethor]

Hello,
I hope I placed this question in the correct forum.

I am trying to minimize the amount of "extra" points I spend on STR for my next summoner so I can place as much as possible into vitality. I am trying to figure out how the game uses stats to pickup gear from a corpse.

Assume lvl 75 so the character can wear all of the gear used for the example. (Not that the gear specifically matters, just using a few pieces of the gear I have set aside for the character).
Mara +5 All stats
NTorch +11 All stats
Shako +2 All stats (REQ 50 STR)
MP Enigma (REQ 55 STR)

Suppose my corpse contains the Mara, Shako, and Enigma and my base str is 37. So w/ a base STR of 37 + 11 from the torch gives 48 STR. Now with the first click will everything be picked up because the Mara gets picked up (+5 STR = 53) giving me the STR for the Shako (+2 STR = 55) which allows the Enigma to be picked up. Or will I have to click once to get the Mara, then once for the Shako, then again for the Enigma?

Hope my question makes sense. Thanks

Can anyone answer this question for me?

Can anyone answer this question for me?With that gear, you're golden. You won't have a problem picking up your corpse. Do note that it will appear to other characters that you are not wearing a hat, armor, or any gear that requires the strength you get from your torch, hat, or armor.

Thanks for the reply. So if the scenario I suggested works fine, what exactly is STR "glitching" equipment where it would require you to click multiple times to pickup your gear? And second why would you STR glitch your gear anyway, don't you lose the benefits of the eq once you don't have the required stats to use it even thought it would be equipped?

ZackStr glitching means making the gear invisible to other players in the game. There are two ways to do this.

(1) Use charms
(2) Temporarily equip an item with bonuses to strength to allow you to equip an item which has enough bonus to strength to equip itself. Using your example, if you had 33 base strength instead of 37 base strength, you wouldn't be able to equip your Shako or Enigma. if you put on, say, a +20 strength ring, you could then put on your shako and enigma no problem. Then if you took off your +20 strength ring, the enigma's bonus to strength would allow it to stay equipped.

In the second case, you'd be getting the benefits of all your gear, but you wouldn't be able to equip it all off your corpse. You wouldn't have enough strength for the Shako or Enigma.
