I feel underpowered too when soloing crowds of mobs at Lv26 with stam running out all the time and suddenly a 450 points player comes along^^

Maybe you put it in your bank?

What level is your equipment ? you get penalties if your equipment has less levels than you, a char lv 50 cp130 with a lv 40 weapon does about 60% less damage. Getting your stuff as close as possible to your level is primordial while leveling.

Not in my bank

Since when has that been in effect? First time I've ever heard of such a penalty. To my knowledge, using lower-level equipment just meant that it didn't provide the obvious numbers that equipment your level would.

Since one tamriel update.

To be precise. Since one tamriel, stuff doesn't have stats. Instead the stats of an item are determined by the difference between your level and the equipment level.

Let's take the example of a one handed sword. A 1H sword with a white rarity has a damage of 1037.
If you are lv 10 and the sword is lv 10, the sword will be 1037. If you are lv 50 and the sword is lv 50, it will be 1037. Same with cp160 and a sword cp 160, 1037, and so on.

Now if you sword has a lower level, it's damage will get reduced each 2 levels of difference (10 cp difference for champion points when lv 50).

So if you're lv 45 using a lv 30 sword, that sword will be about 870 instead of 1037.

Weird, I never noticed such a thing. I don't remember it being in the potes, either.

Turns out it was one of those "undocumented" changes, too. Ah well!

That being the case, then, it makes even more sense now to upgrade your equipment every 5 to 10 levels, depending on your available resources and how badly you want to keep your edge; although at that kind of level the difference wouldn't be too crippling.

Zenimax never released a full documentation on how they made "scaling" in One tamriel, in the patch note they just say that you scale to cp160 if you're not there yet. But that's how it works in detail.

Also, you need to remember that every item, enchant, set etc. works that way. While if it's just one item it's not a big deal, if your entire stuff is underleveled you'll suffer some penalties, especially with enchants regarding resources and their regen.

To help with that they made a "equipment bonus" meter, when you open the character sheet (with all your stats), you'll on the top of the window 4 stars. If you're at 4 stars, you've got all your stuff on level, then it starts to decrease when you don't have some parts not up to date. It also tells you the worst piece of equipment you have in your gear.

get better gear and dont under estimate the power of passives
