New Post: Failed bits of hackery (gems and cosmetics)

I was fiddling around a bit, trying to see what mods could be supported on things that no (obvious) thread discussed:

ON PS4, ROS 2.2, TRIED AND FAILED:

1. On the properties menu, I gave a gem a "tier quality" (technically, a crusader shield); I then imported a modified save game into the PS4, slotted the gem into a weapon, and then checked armor value; this was unchanged; I therefore conclude tier qualities have no impact on gems.
   
2. I modified the Angelic Wings with various properties (technically: primary, vit, and physical resistance); I then imported a modified save game into the PS4, and then equipped the Angelic Wings, and checked the properties; they were unchanged; I therefore conclude properties on cosmetics have no benefit.
   

Up next I was considering seeing what happens when you put sockets on a gem; I would assume that this would not work either because they would be ignored completely, or the game would not offer a GUI to do any slotting. Haven't tried this yet, though.
