the daresso chest mystery (curious people only)

Hey there, exiles =]

It's not much, just a detail, but still, i'm kinda curious about it.
For some reason, Daresso's Defiance has 2 different sprite sizes (2D).
I didn't find any other item doing that, but i wasn't able to test them all.
If you pay attention, the sprite actually grows up by around 5-10% in the following situations :
> item on mouse cursor (picked up)
> item on character chest slot
> item on crafting benchs (Tasuni slot also, for what it's worth)
My theory is that it's just a leftover from the past, when more items used to behave similarly, but somehow, somebody forgot to update daresso properly.
That would imply the existence of some kind of dedicated "zoom factor" value in each item data structure.

More speculations are welcome...

This is pretty interesting. I recently took a break from the game, but I will read the forums once in a while to see whats going on. I've kept this thread bookmarked since I wanted to try it, and the original poster is right.

I definitely see a size change when taking it in and out of my inventory, my stash and the guild stash. i do not see one when I put it as my armor or when I put it into crafting benches.

I'd be curious the history behind this little nugget. Great find xhul!
