Update?
Decided to make an attempt at recreating item sets as they appear in many modern mmos. I think it turned out pretty nice. Still unsure how to display the bonuses of said set without the item description becoming too cluttered.
Assuming by modal window you meant the FYI box, and I am leaning towards that atm. Maybe clicking an item that is part of a set will bring up a new dialog that displays the set name/bonuses. The other option was to just put them in a little wiki section of the quest log so players could see a list of all sets/bonuses.Custom Client could do it.
Or maybe a modal window? lolol

Nice try with the custom client tho !

And make them have level 1 speed with paralysis so they really understand it?It was a joke.
Every time I suggest a custom client for a feature, people tell me "We have Modal Windows, we do not need custom client any longer".
You could teleport the player to a room with a bunch of Signs, and each sign can say one stat from the armor they are wearing.
Or you could open a container with items in it, and each item stands for a different stat, and they can look at each item to see the stat that the other item they looked at was.
Or you could draw on the screen with animations, might take some time to draw out each word so you can read it.
Example:
Each line would be a screen.Code:/\ |--| |\ /| ☼ /_ \ |__| | \/ | / \ | \ | | ☼
ARM:
25
HP REG:
14
PHYS
RESIST:
3%
[/CODE]
Could be fun, take about 10 minutes to read your whole set.
You might need to read it twice to remember everything though.
**EDIT**
Oh! You could do it with normal text and change which tile it is coming from (and who can see the text)
This way, you could just utilize the entire screen.
