Flowen's set bonus not displaying properly?

[Clockwork-Avatar]

I have Flowen's Frame, Flowen's Shield and the 9* Flowen's sword the wiki says is the appropriate one. when I equip the everything, I do not get the 50% weapon ATP, frame DFP and shield EVP bonus the wiki says I should get. I think there's a bug in the way the bonus is displayed, in the equip menu unequipping any one piece doesn't show it will change ATP, DFP or EVP, but the stats are reduced by a bit with the piece missing.

Working fine for me. Are you sure you're using the Flowen's Sword without a year in its name?

One screenshot is with the Shield and one is without:

yeah, I am pretty sure it's the right sword yes, and in the equip menu, unequipping the armor shows no change in ATP.

All of the set bonuses work like that. I agree it's confusing but it's just how the game works. Total stats are updated every frame and set effects are checked at that point. IIRC the game does account for this properly when equipping or unequipping a weapon, but it doesn't at all for the other types of equipment.

It would be a bug if your stats didn't properly change when equipping or unequipping a set effect item. However, it seems like the set effect is working properly from my testing right now.

Again I do agree it's confusing, but it's a lot of work to fix it for all set effects, I think.

hmm, ok, guess it was just a knowledge gap on my part, this is the first set I've ever completed and I didn't see anything about this anywhere I searched.
