Transmutation/Evocation Bracers...bug?

[Tehran_Adinson]

Pulled bracers as an end reward that were listed as "Trasmutation Bracers" yet they had Transmutation focus AND also listed Evocation Focus in the description but not the name.

Another Guildmate pulled out an item on the same run that also had 2 effects.

Anyone else getting things like these? Is this a bug or are we actually getting more useful items?

[Drider]

Those are nothing new, I've had sets for months like that.

[Tehran_Adinson]

Do both the effects actually work? This is actually the first time I've seen it.

[Drider]

yep they do.

I think all the named bracers.. Bracers of Transmutation, Necormancy, etc. All have 2 different abilities.

[Tehran_Adinson]

Ahhh...good to know! Thanks Drider

[Drider]

Yw.

[rimble]

I think I have a staff or two like that also. I think that makes good sense though...let staves have two abilities on them (since you can only hold one) and have sceptres have one ability on them (since you can hold two).

Has the server merge forum transmuted into general discussion? I must have missed the memo.

ummm... you're actually in the Development Discussion forum, NOT the Server Merge forum.

Just thought you might like to know that.





Well, it's been moved now, so no big thing, right?

I actually thought this may have been a bug that happened during the merge. Thus I posted it in the server merge area. Since it wasn't a bug it was moved correctly by the devs.

Thanks for pointing that out tho. I don't know what the servers would do without people that point these things out! Great to know there are forum police trolls. How much do they pay you for that btw? Or do you do it just for the forum count? Keep up the good work...it must be very rewarding and you are doing such a fine service for all those that read the forums.

Not quite. The lower level bracers (as in min level requirement) only have the listed effect.

The lowest 've seen on bracers so far are min lvl 7s. And you only get the listed effect on them.

But it is nice. Between the scepters and bracers Iv'e got most of my major schools, so I haven't been extreamly worried about the napkin out of stormreaver.

*grumble* actually per PnP this is wrong (the staff part). I'll be posting about that at some point soon in a more massive comments post.

The reason why it is wrong is that EACH end of a staff must be enchanted separately if used as a weapon. With the way the game works we should be allowed say, if you were lvl 14, superior potency 6 on one end, and two schools of focus on the other. Granted this would cost about 200k gold or so.

This is why spell casting staffs in the game are so under powered, but at least they cost the correct amount.
This is also why combat staffs in the game are so uber powered technically. (if they actually did two weapon fighting correctly with them, they would be no doubt) because you are paying only for 1 weapon when you should be paying for 2.

Letting the scepters, clubs, etc. hold two school foci is not over powered for DDO. The mobs are so over powered this is an attempt to compensate. Now if it were PnP, yeah.. that would be rather over powered.

Scepters can have 2 also. Its a bit buggy, sometimes you will see a +1 enchanment bonus, a masterwork enchanment bonus, and a spell focus bonus on one item, its kinda weird lol.
