9.1 Handwraps enhancement no longer applies

[Bechtinger]

Come on fix this, its getting annoying if you cant hit anything...

[Malky]

fixing the to-hit seems not so rough, drink a heroism pot and it fixes it for me. the damage is a pita tho..

made me notice tho as well: the shocking blow trinket (greater bold i think) does NOT add +1 damage like it should, and it does not fix the damage bonus

Bold trinket +dmg doesn't stack (and is a lower value) than the ship +dmg buff, that may explain why it doesn't force a reevaluation of your dmg mod.

I'm using the sora kotra set atm, it works but it's still a big pain to swap everything when you need to change wraps

Ah yea, that would explain it, thanks! +1

What stinks is now I can't get that particular ship buff if I want to run a quest that requires swapping wraps. I don't have the Sora set and grinding for three pieces of a set I will only use to switch handwraps urks me so I can't force myself to do it.

I guess goggles of insight/bold trinket for me..

I hope this is fixed very soon, it is very frustrating.

I found that on my Clonk (17 cleric/3 monk), If he casts Divine favor the to hit and damage enhancement bonuses on the handwraps instantly reappear according to my character sheet. But then swapping handwraps it goes away again, so I have to cast Divine favor one more time ...

Maybe a clickie would work for those non-cleric/FvS types ..

A workaround:

That might actually work easiest, will have to try it out. Thanks!

Just to give a (minor, I know) update to this: We're continuing to investigate improperly-applied handwrap enhancement bonuses to determine the cause, and find the best solution. Thank you for your patience!

Noticed this yesterday in Delera's; I crafted Ghost Touch Handwraps of Pure Good specifically for the quest only to find that the Pure Good was doing damage to Ghostly Skeletons, but not breaking their DR. Additionally, the Ghost Touch had zero effect on the Wraith's incorporeality. I also crafted Holy Handwraps of Pure Good to similar lack of DR breaking on Ghostly Skeletons.

Handwraps and the way that monks deal unarmed damage needs a complete overhaul, because this is getting ridiculous.

Here's an idea: Make Handwraps a normal weapon that deals 1dX damage (1d3 I think is base unarmed?). Give monks feats that increase the damage they deal when using handwraps. 1d4 = +0-1, 1d6 = +0-3, 1d8 = +0-5, etc. There's got to be a way to do this that isn't all that hard. Then handwraps can behave like real weapons, and we won't have to go through with this same old dance nearly every update.

Oh, and returning shuriken cannot be made craftable.

Oh, and returning shuriken cannot be made craftable.

They can if they have a prefix or suffix. Same is true of all returning throwing weapons: +1 Silver Shuriken is rejected by the deconstructing device, but +1 Flaming Silver Shuriken works and can get you a Silver Shuriken blank.

Wanted to echo that CRAFTED handwraps also don't work - most prefixes and suffixes don't work. Their enhancement bonuses work - what a cruel joke - but almost nothing else does.

I crafted +3 holy undead bane for Wiz King, neither holy NOR undead bane worked. I crafted anarchic lesser construct bane for the Marut, and the DR wasn't broken (didn't fully notice if the bane worked) and I took a neg level... whereas normal random anarchic wraps actually dont neg level you. Crafted vicious bleeding and the vic worked but bleeding didnt.

Maybe other players want new content, but I FAR FAR FAR prefer a game that WORKS. I have two chars, both are monk multiclasses that use handwraps. Given a choice between one new adv pack, and having my weapons work without an endless stream of major bugs... guess which I choose.

Something like this might be doable and just have to change the monk automatic unarmed damage boosting feats slightly.

Just wanted to necro this because this is still happening and it seemed like the most appropriate thread...i crafted +4 holy silver hand wraps of evil outsider bane, the outsider bane just disappears and i have to swap gear to get it to work again.

Just saying it's still broke
