Permanent -30% sp costs... Alchemist bug

[kaipan]

It's been a few days now, since this (wonderful) bug is going on on my fvs: after logging out with only a few hp after a Release while wearing the Alchemist set (necklace + circlet), at the login I found out I still had the alchemist preservation discount active, even if I had full health.

And it's still going on, forever, even if I am not wearing either item anymore, I have logged out and in multiple times, etc... Essentially right now I have this permanent -30% on all sp costs. Which is awesome and crazy at the same time.

Anyone else who found this out??

This is why we can't have nice things.....

It was good of you to post this bug in the forums rather than let this be exploited for ages. Care that Turbine in their 'wisdom' doesn't shoot the messenger though....

Easy Button!

Has the server been restarted since you got the bug? I remember a while back people use to get the "lava burning" bug where you would still take damage from lava even after you had died and released. I think the only way to fix that was to jump in lava and then back out again. Don't know if relogging fixed that. There was also the PVP disjunction issue too (I think that carried through relog).

In the name of Science and in the interests of helping the good folks in the QA staff at Turbine with their bug hunt, I tried to reproduce this bug. I tried several different variations of the OP's description and was not able to reproduce the phenomenon.

I would really hope this doesn't happen here. Since it would be hard to separate those that do this on purpose from those that do it accidentally.

i tried to repeat this bug also but it could not be done
neither the reduced cost or visual icon remains if i remove the set and goes away when i heal

If it can help, everytime I change zone I get for a brief moment the Echoes of Power animation, which then disappears.

Not sure if it is related.

Are you actually getting the discount, or is it just graphical?

Actually getting it.

One time I crashed during zone-in, and got to keep Warp Time active even inside the quest... 'twas nice.

Doesn't really make up for the many zone-in crashes I've had that have eaten challenge tokens, though.

You said it, man. For every time something like this benefits a player, it's hurt that same player 100 times over.

I had that on my arty for a few days. gone now.
IIRC, I died, released, and logged off without healing/gaining back sp, though didn't think much of it at the time.

Sounds like a blessing seeing as this effect does not seem reproducible.

A year ago I had an awesome glitch where everytime I died my ghost was not forced to teleport back to my soulstone if I went too far... was pretty amazing. Vanished when I logged out though.
