Spellsword Imbue Weapon

Post by Apothys » Tue Feb 08, 2022 12:27 pm

After using my arcane Marauder for a little while now and my reach starting to spread to other servers, I'm starting to find the fact that i need to rest each time i pass through a server to server just to reimbue my blade really really frustrating.

Could it perhaps be put on a timer? Or is it stuck this way and i need to accept that this is the way it is with Spellswords.

Thanks for reading.

I've done quite a bit of investigation since this is obviously unintended. Found a likely solution/workaround that should go live in a reset or two. Depending on script order, it'll either work automatically or at least let characters reactivate all imbues on their equipment by re-equipping one item. That remains to be seen when the fix is live, as it wasn't possible to replicate the problem in my test environment.

It's not just imbues affected. Protect from Spells, Premonition and any elemental shields also fail to transfer with a server change sometimes, if that helps to narrow anything down

The workaround for Imbue issues is live and so far appears to be working. Let me know if you encounter any more issues :)

Out of curiousity does imbue work similar to blade thirst? Rangers also have to rest going to server to server, because BT gets all sorts of messed up, and its exhausting to do when traveling.

Asking to see if this fix could be wider applied if that's the case.

So we're very much on track.

The workaround I've used here won't work for other weapon spells, unfortunately. It might help to create a bug report thread with all problematic weapon spells, though.
GMW for instance is still lost when the bug occurs.

Dang! Well it was worth a shot. Here's the last report. I don't think any of it is different from then.
