I just bought this and the +2 Str doesnt show up in the equipment screen. Any idea why? Says I have +19, when I should have +21 with this equipped. BTW Im a Sandy Citizen and in an area under Windurstian Control.
As the item detail says, "Obtained through Conquest Points"
Bastok must be in 1st place for this item to be offered, much like the Mercenary Captains Belt from Windurst (again, only available when Windurst is in 1st place).
That is correct. To confuse you further it even has the white border in the background that we generally associate with HQ items ><. The actual HQ1 synth (JMC+2) has the HQ2-style blue border.... Why all this confusion? Beats me...
Maybe all enhanced cq point items were named like this (+1 and +2) earlier, but later changed to "Bastokan / Republic", "Sandorian / Kingdom" and "Windurstian / Federation", and sqen just forgot about this item..? o.o
