Question on Grade Penalties

I've been looking for a link or page that tells what the penalty is for using armor & weapons above your grade. Does anyone know where to find this info?

Armor above your's grade drops run speed and may be something else too.
Wearpon drops acuracy and if you are a mage every nuke will fail for 1 dmg.

Eh? hang on a second.... so you can use grade B armor is your like still level 44 and it works? (albeit with a penalty?)...

So, for example, if you buy grade B helmet giving 61 pdef, you still get that 61 pdef, and just suffer some slowness?

I think you don't get set bonus if you don't have the proper grade masteries.

And its not "some" slowness.. Its more like "going from the grocery store to the gk taking one buff round" slowness..

My D Grade dwarf happens to haev a full set of theca leather mail on her - I will provide screenshots of the effects when and if I ever get home (homework has me >.<).

It's not some slowness, it's a lot of slowness.

And as for weapons, I don't find it worth it. They either miss too much or if you are a mage your spells fail more often than not. It just feels unplayable.

you also lose Accuracy, Evasion, Atk Speed, and I belive Crit

I did see a guy using a B grade sword on TI. He was NG and he missed a lot, but when he hit he one shotted the mobs. Just find non aggro mobs that you can one shot and see how it goes. I partied with him when I was noob and thought he was higher lvl. I was shocked when I found out he was my lvl and just had an awesome weapon.

Add to this the fact that the HP/MP regen is extremely slow.
