Paladin Knight of the Chalice Favored Weapons not working

[FURYous]

The favored weapon enhancements in Knight of the Chalice (Adept Combatant, Holy Combatant) don't seem to be making the specified weapons favored (Longsword, Battle Axe, Heavy Mace, Morningstar, War Hammer and Greatsword).

Using any of the above weapons doesn't increase my stacks of Champion's Blessed Purpose, using my deities' weapon does. I am testing using a Maul (my deity is Silvanus), a longsword and a greatsword. My stacks of Champion's Blessed Purpose only increases when using the maul even though I took Holy Combatant in the Knight of the Chalice enhancement tree

We've identified two bugs with Favored Weapons in Update 50:

• When you first log in, if you had Favored Weapons equipped, they are not recognized until you unequip and re-equip your main hand weapon. (This is fixed in a patch tentatively slated for this week).
• When you acquire a feat or enhancement that adds a new Favored Weapon, and you have that weapon equipped, it is not recognized as a Favored Weapon until you unequip and re-equip your main hand weapon. (This one is *not* fixed in the patch tentatively slated for this week, but we're hoping to have a working fix as soon as possible.)

In the meantime: You should be able to work around both issues by unequipping and re-equipping your main hand weapon.

Steel: does this fix in the future includes for example, one of my 18FvS/2Mnk character using the Divine Champion Epic Destiny. Gained the usage of bows as favored weapons (using WIS to attack/dmg). But somehow it is not considered a ki weapon and gains a -4 penalty to attack and lost all ki?

Also, does this fix includes the use of wisdom for double-shot (number shot launches) (like the dexterity version?)

Are you claiming that Book of War is breaking Zen Archery? Because Book of War doesn't grant weapon proficiency, nor does it make anything into a centered weapon.

this does not fix it, when I tested I swapped many times with several weapons and at no time did the enhancement favored weapon work as a favored weapon. The deity favored weapon always seems to work.

Easy to test, see the first post where I tested this.

FvS Knowledge of Battle is also bugged. It is supposed to provide wis to-hit with Favored Weapons. However, on my bladeforged 17/3 fvs/pal, the Spear of the Mournlands is not showing up as a favored weapon. The favored weapon to-hit and damage bonus do show up, and the Spear of the Mournlands is also using my Str bonus instead of my Wis bonus via Knowledge of Battle.

As a devoted follower of the Lord of Blades, this bug makes me deeply sad. My bladeforged is not being treated as a faithful child of the Creation Forge, and the blessing that the Lord of Blades intended to give me when using his spear has not been bestowed.

For your own good, I trust that you will resolve this issue in full before I am forced to bring it before the Lord of Blades. He will be considerably less patient than I am, having first filed a bug report on this many months ago.

I just finished testing again to be extra sure, This does NOT fix the issue, I went to Borovia with my trusty Reflection of Blackrazor and took it off and put it back in my main hand, when killing undead I got no stacks of Champion's Blessed Purpose. I then switched to a maul and the stacks started stacking. I switched back to the greatsword which should be a favored weapon from me taking Holy Combatant but the Champion's Blessed Purpose stops incrementing again, so I switched to a long sword and still get no stacks even though I have taken Adept Combatant, I take the long sword off and put it back on and still no stacks.

The only thing being considered a favored weapon is the deity bestowed weapon and not the enhancement weapons no matter how many times you swap or unequip and re-equip your main hand weapon.

I even tried cussing at it but that had the same effect as unequip and re-equip my main hand weapon.

I suppose I could take videos of my tests if you are unable to take the 5 minutes it took me to test in game. Would that be more helpful?

No, that character has Zen Archery.

[gorocz]

No, that character has Zen Archery.

Right, but neither FvS nor Monk are proficient with either kind of bows and Zen Archery does not give proficiency either.

[FURYous]

Still not working after today's patch. I tested with both maul and greatsword,

maul is deity granted favored weapon and works great
Greatsword is enhancement granted favored weapon and doesn't work no matter how many times I reequip it, or cuss at it, or log in and out.

[MechlordOG]

Testing KotC T3 Holy Combatant with vanilla greatsword and vanilla diety's weapon, greatsword still isnt being considered Favored as mentioned above. Re-logging, re-equipping things isnt fixing it.

It also seems like the T2 Adept Combatant is granting double its bonus to my diety's weapon? I can't be certain considering there's obviously another bug here.

[BDog77]

Can confirm we also are not getting the extra plus to hit and damage with the greatsword as added favored weapon in the KOTC tree. Equipping and unequipping does not affect the issue.

[MechlordOG]

I submitted a bug for it, I'll post here if the ticket gets a reply.

[Taraborn]

I was able to get my greatsword recognized as a favored weapon by using Divine Crusader's Book of War, although that requires wasting a destiny point if your running in DC, or a Tier 4 twist if you are not.

[Steelstar]

We've identified an issue where KOTC isn't properly granting Greatsword, Warhammer, and Heavy Mace from the abilities that are supposed to grant those. (The others in the tree appear to be working). This is fixed internally, and should be in an upcoming patch.
