(The backwards numeric system?) Saddles question

[Deadman2112]

I'm desperately trying to understand this system of grading, but I'm utterly confused trying to make sense of it because everyone knows a

+ means add to

...and

- means minus from

 

What I mean by this is...

Lest say it says +8 core drain. So if I'm using a saddle that has a +8 does this means that my horse's core will drain at a +8 faster than normal?

 

...because, if it means that the horse will lose its stamina slower, then this tells me that someone at R* either doesn't understand numeric values, or maybe they have a severe case of dyslexia.

 

Can someone please explain this?

It's adding to how long it takes to drain.

 

IOWs, it's a good thing.

That's about as backwards as backwards gets. It clearly says "core drain rate" and if you add or + that, it means it will happen at a faster rate.

...but ok I guess?

 

Sorry not directing that at you just pointing out the obvious mistake. Guess they hired someone that failed 3rd grade math and 5th grade reading comprehension.

 

...thanks for the response.

Drain is negative so a positive will act in the opposite direction... hope that helps.

 

Example:

If your core drain rate is -50 and you equip a core drain rate item of +5, your drain rate is now -50 +5 = -45
