Using this reference
For Retainer's Short Sword, check the requirements against your current character before comparing bonuses. A requirement tells you whether a recorded condition is met; it does not measure the benefit of equipping the item. Enter your own values in the checker to see the remaining gap for each stat.
Keep requirements and performance separate when comparing alternatives. Two items can be equally accessible but behave differently in a build. The reference does not automatically apply temporary bonuses, class restrictions or special handling rules that are not present in its source fields.
A worked example
The listed Strength requirement for Retainer's Short Sword is 5. At 4, you are one point short; at 5, that requirement is met. Check the other requirements separately—meeting this one does not clear the whole list.

This checks the listed base requirements only. It does not predict damage, scaling, buffs or special handling rules.
