What happens if you lose your level below an equipped item's level requirement?

Question

I was wondering what the impact is if I am equipping an item (for example Yalahari Mask) which has a level requirement (in this case 80) and I happen to die which results in a loss of level below the required equipped level (79)?  I know that I won't be able to use Great Mana Potions until I have regained my level, but what happens with the equipped item? Does it stay equipped? If so, does it retain all the effects/bonuses?

I couldn't find that question when I did a search in the engine.

I'm not sure if the two questions are exact duplicates. The other one specifically mentions weapons (the formula or rules can be different for weapons and other equipment items)

I agree. I've made a small edit in the other question, since the other one was actually more focused on weapons for knights.

Answer 1

It is still possible to keep using the item, what happens when you use an item destined to a higher level is that you will miss some atributes from the item, basically you lose some stats of armor, atk, def may even loseelemental defense, for example.

Yes, exactly you will be able to use the armor but they atributes will not work.
