Only NW above base is counted towards PR.
Obviously this primarily affects newbies.

you cant buy a base weapon other than a whip. can you make it so there is a 100k NW cap until it counts to PR?

That's a good change and hopefully more newbies stay and play.

Great idea. After the str/dex affecting equipment change, this is now possible. I think this will increase newbs staying.

Lol, now people went to the stores to get basic gears. They sure are quick.
since there is never a "lowbie penalty" below 500 PR I don't think an additional exception for low-nw weapons is necessary.

Did I miss something? base HLA, Cab, Leather boots and gloves still increase my PR.

Forget my last post. Probably equipping base armors, my PR got updated.
