Known Issues

• If a player has full inventory upon logging in after patch and were wielding a weapon and/or ammo with high wield req, they will likely drop their weapon and/or ammo onto the ground.
• The +10 green triangle button doesn't gray out appropriately for Health, Stamina and Mana when there isn't enough xp to raise them 10 points.
• Weapon glyphs that were converted to Glyph of Light Weapons or Glyph of Missile Weapons do not stack with each other (that is a stack of staff and a stack mace would both be the same new glyph but the two stacks won't combine together). The Component Exchanger also returns different varieties of these glyphs as well (it's as if there are versions for each of the old weapons and you get a random version and while they stack with the same version they don't with other versions (even though they are the same glyph)).
• The same goes up for Rares, the crossbow and bow Rares which were converted to the Missile Weapon rare (Elysa's Crystal) do not stack, neither do the now Light Weapon skill Rares (Thorsten's Crystal or the Gear Mastery Rare (Tristra's Gem) which is now converted to the Item Tinkering Rare (Tinker's Crystal) (not hotfixed)
• Some missile weapons have broken wield reqs which make them unusable. - hotfix
• Alchemy Phials buff Thrown Weapons instead of Missile Weapons. - hotfix
• There are two different Glyphs of Item Tinkering in game with different icons that don't stack with each other (new gear icon, and old hammer, both have come up in chest loot/exchanger).
• Some quest items have spells which buff another melee skill as the one it is converted to:
  • Demon Swarm Sword - Skill = Light Weapons, spells changed to Heavy (not hotfixed)
  • Sharpened Virindi Scalpel - Skill = Light Weapons, spells changed to Finesse (not hotfixed)
• Shadowfire Weapons display the wrong weapon mastery or weapon skill:
  • Shadowfire Isparian Bow displays Thrown instead of Bow as Weapon Mastery (fixed with Feb 23th Hotfix)
• Red Rune Silveran Staff and Royal Runed Bastone are Light not Heavy as posted by Turbine. (not hotfixed)
• Spell description on Mitts of the Hunter, Doppelganger Robe and Periapt of Endless Sight indicates that they still buff Bow, Thrown Weapon and Crossbow, and not Missile. (not hotfixed)
• Mace of Winter Flame has a Level Wield requirement of 350. (not hotfixed)
• Training Knuckles and Training Handwraps (Starter Weapons for Sho & Shadow characters with Light Weapons/Finesse Weapons trained) states as Mastery "Sword" and not Unarmed. (not hotfixed)
• Weeping Weapons and Elemental Weeping Weapons do not show any Mastery, only the Skill. (not hotfixed)
• The new Brawler's Crystal, Knight's Crystal and Rogue's Crystal are all Rare # 7, Rare no. 7 is also the Alchemist's Crystal.
• When trying to hand the Rogue's Crystal to a Rare Exchanger, this might break the Exchanger, he will be stuck in the "too busy" mode:

Rare Exchanger is too busy to accept gifts right now.

• When switching from Dual Wield to using one-handed throwing items (Darts/Dishes/Throwing Axes), a player still has their off-hand (Shield slot) weapon equipped.
  • Tests have been done with a high Melee D Off-hand but showed no bonus to Melee D.
• Simi swords still have the Ivoryable property even though they can no longer be Bandit Hilted.

Typos

• When first logging in after patch:

Your opportunity to change your attributes is renewed! Visit Chafulumisa to reset your skills [attributes].

• Finesse Weapons Gem of Forgetfulness : This gem will return four skill credits when used to unspecialize or untrain the dagger (sic!) skill.
• Academy Knuckles : An enhanced cestus [sic] crafted in the Training Academy.
• Swashbuckler ("Stock Template"): SWASHBUCKLERS are specialists in the art of swordfighting [sic].
• Wayfarer :The Wayfarer gets the Dirty Fighting, Dual Wield, Finesse Weapons, Healing, Item Enchantment, Lockpick, Melee Defense, Healing [sic] and Missile Weapons skills.
• Not sure if it's a typo or meant to be: When infusing a Perfect Diamond Infused Pyreal Ingot, it will refer to the Weapon Type more than the Skill

You infuse the ingot with a superb impression of your unarmed combat skill.
