Are Weapon-id´s Only Active On Said Class?

Hello,

this question might be a bit weird at first glance. Yesterday, out of pure curiosity, I decided to look up the different mythics in the game. I noticed that especially Stratiformis can give you an insane increase of walk speed, up to +99% (if the wiki is correct, which I assume it is).
So, if I am a mage, and were to hold Stratiformis, would I gain said increase, or would it only work when the weapon is hold by its respective class? I am curious.

 

Identifications on weapons only work when the correct requirements are met. So for Strati, you would need to
- be an archer
- be level 99 or higher
- have at least 120 agility
before you would gain any of the effects of the identifications.
So to answer your question, no, as a mage, you can't get the effects of a bow. (or spear, or daggers, or wand without the right requirements)
