Blue Dragonscale Armor Permanently Damaged

[Arisellon]

I just discovered that my newly crafted Blue Dragonscale Plate Armor is permanently damaged and can't be repaired. This is a bound to character item, and the response to the issue by the online DM is that this is a "known issue" without any current resolution. I can't find anything in the threads about this, but it's happened since the new release. Anyone have a thread I can read about this?

I saw a few threads about the Abbot Raid and Mordenkainen's Dysjunction permanently damaging bound items beyond repair--but I haven't run the Abbot raid and I'm unaware of MD being cast on me (no PvP either since crafting this recently).

This is a known "bug". With the release of Epic VON and Epic Red Dragonscale, the Dragonscale robes have been becoming permanently damaged, which should not happen. Look for a fix sometime... Maybe... We hope... >_<

I haven't had any issues repairing my blue scale robes. Have you tried repairing them with the person in meridia?

You did the attuning ritual on it and it still got permanently damaged (red on the bar)? Or are you saying you can't find a place to repair it?

You don't (Shouldn't) need to attune bound-to-char items to make them not take permanent damage.

Ah thank you...I hadn't tried that, and it seems to have worked. Now, if only the online DM had been so helpful with a response! Evidently, there is some other issue with dragonscale armor taking permanent damage because the DM said it was a "known issue"--must have something to do with the red dragonscale that an earlier poster mentioned.

BtC has nothing to do with being Bound and Attuned. BtC simply means you can't trade it to another character, Attuned means it will no longer take permanent damage.

While both have the same negative result, the Attuning ritual has a cost (albeit very small), where BtC just exists. Also, not all BtC items can be Attuned (GreenSteel for example).

That's interesting. I wonder why none of my BtC items have ever taken permanent damage.

You don't need to Bind and Attune something to prevent it from getting permanently damaged if it's already bound. If an item is bound, it can't be permanently damaged. If an item is attuned, you can perform eldritch rituals on it.

I too find this interesting. None of my BtC items that had never been attuned have never taken perm damage either.

I thought I read somewhere in the forums(can't rember when as I should have went to bed a few hours ago, but am sure I read it here in the forums,) that BtC stuff, not attuned BtC would never take perm damage.

That's what I thought, too.

[KillEveryone]

What about BtA stuff? I'll have to wait until the servers are up before I can be sure but I'm fairly certain that none of my BtA stuff has taken perm damage either.

If I really like something that does take perm damage, I'll bind and attune it. I know I haven't done that particular ritual very many times because none of my BtC/BtA stuff has taken perm damage.

False. A bound item, whether it is bound to character, bound to account, bound out of the box or bound on equip should NOT take any damage. Attuning an already bound item changes nothing other that letting you add rituals on it. Devs have confirmed this is the intended behavior.

All that said, since these changes, items have taken perm dmg in various scenarios. Attuning a bound item COULD stop it from taking more damage but that would only be if the bug is specific to bound an not attuned items which I doubt would be the case (since the tech probably ignores what caused the item to be bound). Either way it certainly would not be WAI if that worked.

My Greensteel is BtC, yet has taken permanent (red) damage. Perhaps it is a bug.

The update that made BtC gear not take perma-damage was well after the Shroud came out. I have some "broken beyond repair" bound gear, actually. Still waiting on a fix for that stuff (not that I expect it to ever actually come, though).

I def have bound and attuned greensteel and put a ritual on it.
