FIXED Bugged Weapon (or potential Brittle bug)

[DewCono]

I have used the following weapon to farm elementals in the Ilshenar cave west of Sacrifice for well over 500 kills, as well as using it to farm in Shame for over 300,000 gold collected. I've never once repaired it, and just noticed that it's still at the original 255/255.
Now I know no one wants to complain about something so convenient, but if this is a bug with all brittle items it would make them far more powerful than ever intended.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Has anyone else noticed anything strange with the decay of brittle and or normal items?

Ran around trying to test it in various locations.
My imbued armor lost ~10 durability while I ran around Shame some, and while I was attacking the Satyr (trying to narrow down if the durability changed at all) and my weapon is at 255/255 still.

So my imbued armor durability is going down, my non imbued, brittle hammer pick is going down in durability. I can't find any consistency here.

So I tested the same weapon on a character with Magery skill. Killed mobs at the entrance then went to the upper tunnel then went back and killed the mobs at the entrance again. The durability did not change as seen in MageWepMagery.png.

Then I got a second mage wep, and tested it with macing on the original character. I killed a fair bit of creatures in Shame, and again the durability would not drop as seen in MageWep2Macing.png.

Then I took out the brittle hammer I use all the time and killed 3 scorpions, 2 mud pies, and 2 earth elementals - it dropped a single durability from just that. As seen in BrittleMacingStart.png and BrittleMacingFinish.png.

So it's not the brittle that's bugged, but mage weapon that seems to be bugged. Dan suggested this to me in Discord when I asked about it so I just tested to confirm it.

Great work!

This issue has been FIXED.

This was actually affecting any spell channeling weapon. They would not decay. Thanks a lot for bringing it to your attention.

You're welcome. Both of my test items were mage weapon spell channeling - I didn't think to try it without spell channeling oops!
