The stat requirements of weapons are inconsistent and based on the level of the weapon when it drops rather than fixed.

For example, a claymore dropped at level 1 might have a 13 strength stat requirement, but the same sword dropped at level 10 will have a 30+ strength stat requirement.

This surely shouldn’t be how it works?

I was wondering the same thing now that I’m max level. Getting a Blood Rusted Sword with a 42 strength requirement is odd. What if I wanted to farm items for a new character?
