Just returned to a work station to weed out my overflowing inventory and wham! All of my weapon damage and armor stats are suddenly ... well, not what they were last time I checked! For example, I'm wielding Valaste's Spellbreaker Staff - it's level 48, and when I got it, it's damage was (I think) 1184 - it's now 834. Same with the armor I'm wearing. Don't know what exactly the stats were before, but they're definitely lower. Does it have something to do with hitting level 50? That's the only thing I can think of. And if so, why? WHY? I'm almost scared to go back out there now...
