On instance change: "You cannot use this item. Its stats will be ignored"

Whenever I change instances two pieces of my equipment become unusable as if my stat requirements were not met. This is solved simply by re-equipping the items. My gear hasn't changed, but this issue only began occurring in the last twenty minutes or so. I was mapping earlier without issue.

Do you have a jewel in a socket that is unallocated?

Is that what causes this bug? How bizarre, I can't think of how the two would relate.

My guess is this is caused by the order which gear requirements are calculated.

I've encountered this in cases where gear itself gives attributes. So perhaps the game first sees that you do not meet the requirements - and thus does not give you the equipment's stat's that would give you enough stats to use said piece of equipment.

This is fixed on re-equipping the equipment piece.

As someone mentioned, it happens regularly with gems - but I believe this is due to the fact that, in most cases, your gems are leveled as much as your stats allow. Say for instance, you have 100 STR and your sword gives you 10 STR, but your gem requires 110 STR, the game is essentially looking at your character on load and sees that you have 100 STR, therefor the gem's attribute requirements are not met and the 10STR bonus of the weapon is not applied.

This should be fixed developer side by adding an order which the requirement checks are done on character load.

I actually keep a set of stat jewelry for the sole purpose of being able to reequip items that provide the stats required to equip them...

Yeah, somebody figured out that somehow stats or requirements on a jewel in one of their unallocated sockets was causing the game to reassess their equipment requirements when they changed instances and doing something weird with the calculation. I think it was turning off his auras because it didn't think he met the requirements or something.
