I have plenty of strength to work with, yet it wont allow me to use the new armor even when removing the old one. I guess this is based on "To all attributes" modifiers? i am unsure as the game certainly wont tell me.

You have 594 strength and it requires 614. Simple math tells me you dont have enough strength to wear it.

Of course i can see that, but my character sheet clearly shows i´ve got ample strenght to use the new armor.

I think i finally figured that one out, its a five not six. I feel kinda silly but at the same time can you really blame me? just taking a glance at the stats makes it look like a six rather than five. :-] :oops:

Yeah, it's quite difficult to distinguish the 5 and 6 in Diablo II's default font. If you like, there's font replacements available over on the tools page.

I've been playing for years and this still trips me up from time to time, don't feel bad.
