Summer Wine not mundane anymore

Post by Gulddrengen » Thu Jun 22, 2017 10:45 pm

I don't hope this is on purpose. Summer Wine is the only way for kensai to get any strength buff when solo. Winter Wine still counts as mundane.

I thought all the wines were supposed to be marked mundane

Not true. Pale Blue Skleens work too

Isn't the elixir of giant's strength from herbalism crafting also mundane?

It's not, my kensai was selling them hand over fist and raking in gold because she couldn't use them

Yes, skleen works too, but Summer Wine has been mundane until the other day, I know because I've used them a lot on my kensai and have a stack in his inventory I suddenly can't use.

I started playing a kensai when it was announced on the forums that the seasonal wines would be mundane, played it to level 28, rolled it, and have played another character to level 30 since then, and in all that time I have never once seen a seasonal wine that was mundane.

My suspicion is that, despite the forum post, they were never correctly marked as mundane at all, and all the requests made since then haven't changed that. I suspect that we just have to accept that kensai won't be able to use those physical attribute buffs that are available through the wines.

I have a Winter Wine in my inventory that is marked as mundane and that I just drank with my kensai.

This is because Summer Wine comes from the Summer Court.

Some of the monsters that drop wines will drop mundane wines, some will drop magic wines, wines found in loot containers are always mundane, wines bought from vendors are always magic

It's one of those issues where there are two blueprints of the same item, but only one is flagged as mundane. Just keep an eye on the description of new wines you obtain to make sure you're not hoarding the wrong type.

It also may help to compile a list of monsters that drop the non mundane versions so they can get changed when someone finds the time

But they are supposed to be mundane all of them, right? This is a bug not a feature?

This is an ongoing problem I reported previously...well-beyond just the wines.

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=12424#p102994

Somehow the old versions of a host of mundane items are seemingly the default drop again. Some of the mundane items still seem stack on the "good" versions (i.e. lifesaver salve), but if you are say a new kensai...its a lot tougher these days to find any worthwhile trinkets.

Thanks. I can only hope they get fixed soon, then.

The other day I found these ear drop thingies. Despite its description claiming they're "100 % magic-free", they were not marked mundane, sadly.

I have yet to find a single loot item that was flagged as mundane, and I've found all of the following:
  • Sweetberry Wine
  • Summer Wine
  • Autumn Wine
  • Winter Wine
  • Spring Wine
  • Lemure Wine
  • Medicine Bag
  • Lifesaver Salve
Items were found on a variety of enemies, on both servers.

Crafted mundane items, however, appear to be fine - at least from initial testing. Got a mundane-flagged Pie of Restoration, no problem.

Has anyone found any loot items that ARE flagged as mundane?
