When loading an old save, items such as the Sanguine Plate do indeed get their new effect they also keep their old one i.e. it has both frenzy and retaliation.

Hey ChipMHazard,

 

Can you send me a save file with the Plate having both abilities?

 

Thanks

Sking,

 

here's a saved game that exhibits the issue: link

 

I believe it stems from the fix trying to be retroactive but only partially managing to it (it retroactively gives Frenzy to the armor, but fails to retroactively remove Retaliation.)

 

I suppose new post-1.5 games, or games in which the armor is acquired after patching, aren't affected by this issue (but I don't know for sure as I had just acquired the armor before I applied the patch.)

It's happened to me as well. Here you go:

Awesome,

 

Thanks guys. With your information, I was able to get a bug into our database and we will work towards a fix for a future update.

 

Thanks again

Good and bad news,

 

Bad news - We not going to be able to fix this issue

Good news - You get to keep your super versions of the items changed

It doesn't give the new effect in old saves though, it just eats up 4 enchantment points (at least I don't see a button to activate it). But if there's nothing you can do, it's ok

Guess I'll be using cheats to free up those 4 enchantment slots then (really want to make that armor Superb)

Sangiune Plate gives "Spell Holding" not to be confused with "Spell Binding". Spell Holding will proc the spell whenever the character holding the item is crit by another character.

Interesting...!

 

Thanks for clarifying, Sking.
