    The VR15 bow is equipped and the VR14 bow is not. Do you have any other gear in that set equipped that is lower level and/or lower quality? If so, that will bring down the set bonuses as a whole (because they're averaged out based on all of the equipped items in the set), so the equipped bow will show lower set bonuses.

    that doesn't make sense though, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80 averaged is 80... 80, 80, 80, 80, 90 averaged is 82... Why would it bring it down?

    No, I mean do you have any other items in the equipped set that are lower level and/or quality than the gold VR14 bow.

    Am I reading this wrong?

    It appears the VR14 bow has a "Weapon Damage Enchantment" on it but I don't see one on the VR15 bow. Could that be effecting the overall numbers being computed? I confess, I don't fully understand set bonus calculations. But I only took 2 years of Calculus in college and not the convoluted math used by ZOS. ;D

    The weapon damage enchant would account for those numbers being bigger but not the max stamina number being larger.

    The problem I see with that is the actual weapon damage is lower.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I can cinfirm the VR16 bersion gives the same 299 damage on the 5 set bonus but I can't remeber how that scales below that point. Is it possible that this set missed some scaling work in the patch? Given how many sets there are it would not be totally shocking if one or two got missed.

    It's just an error with the tooltip. The weapon damage stat in your character sheet is also wrong. In fact, even the damage numbers recorded by your combat add-ons are wrong. The actual damage is a mystery.

    It's all a giant prank by ZOS to confound the combat add-on utilities and mess with players' minds. Players think they are doing decent DPS, but the reality is they are way off.

    Oh haven't you heard ZOS nerfed crafting to the utter ground because players who farmed hours for drops were crying that "crafted gear is so OP nerf it ZOS". So not only is the materials hard to get the gear it self isn't even that powerful. So u crafters now have to spend days to weeks getting materials to crafts gear thats only 10 points stronger if were lucky oppose to the farmers who only have to farm for a few hours to get there almighty Molga Kena or Black Rose set.

    FIX THE CRAFT ZOS IT WAS NEVER BROKEN TO BEGIN WITH !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Every item I have equipped the numbers always go up, have never notice one let alone all going down. I don't know why these numbers would go down.

    Try swapping the items, equip the level 14 and hover over the 15 in your inventory, curious to see what happens.

    Not sure my prior post was accurate, so I trimmed it.

    You are on the right lines...

    An unequipped piece will often show lower stats than it will once equipped...

    There are several things that increase various stats which once items are equipped will change them from the unequipped version.

    OP, have you checked by equipping each item and then comparing?

    Not for a weapon it's not.

    And weapons are the single biggest upgrade you can get... even if you don't have the gold/time to get V16 armor, a weapon is just over 100 mats.

    You can farm them over a few days playing relatively little, or go buy them etc... either way, for one weapon it's not unrealistic at all.

    so i had to buy 8 more rosins to test this, because i had deconned that bow. and yeah, it actually does that, and swaps it around. once i equip the v14, it says the v15 is better, but why? that's still extremely confusing and misleading..

    Aye, but ya should have checked this by equipping :P I noticed this strange anomaly at a low lv. It should show bonuses even if it's unequipped..However. ..

    Simple.

    When the bow is sat in your inventory it's not affected by any of the skills you have slotted. When you equip the item then it is. There are lots of skills (& especially the related passives) that modify key stats.

    At least you now know the V15 was worth it :) (Even if it was an expensive one after costing 8 Rosin's)

    the enchant makes no difference as it is seperate from the set bonuses. Those bonuses are whats in question, not the total amount of DMG the toon has. At least thats what I'm getting from the question. There are a few things with gear tooltips that Zeni needs to look into as I have ran across a few things that made me WTF all over the place just like this.
