Known Issues
- Particle effects are removed when tailoring a shield that has them. This will be a permanent "bug". Addressed by Sev: One limitation of our item art system is that you'll have to relog to get particle effects to show up on the new shield. - Severlin
- Old style mattekar coat cannot be tailored.
- No Augmentation Trainers (NPCs) appear to accept the new Jack of All Trades augmentation gem for swapping.
- The material of an item will not show up in ingame messages (giving a Steel Ring for example):
- (Player) gives you Ring.
- You give (Player) Ring.
