Enchantments disappearing?

[jakl201]

Basically, I've noticed with some weapons when you enchant them, other enchantments become unavailable. For some weapons, this makes sense, for other enchantments, it's vexing. Was wondering if there's just no feedback on which enchantments become null.

 

Let me see if this works. Here's the basic armor enchantment list of Eder's Saint's War armor.

 

 

These are the options when I have taken Veteran's Maneuvers and Veteran's Scars. 'Like a Steel Trap' and 'Rock solid' are missing. I never took these enchantments. 

 

 

I'm trying to convey that this applies to other weapons and armor as well. Here's Whispers of Yenwood. All I took was 'Whetted', but it dropped the skill that allowed one to remove the 'Whispers of the Dead' debuff from the sword.

 

 

And here's a pistol where I only took one special enchantment. Think it had 3-4? But now all I can do is upgrade it. 

 

 

 

So I'm trying to ask devs if these are bugs or just a lack of informing the player. For some of the weapons/armor, the other selections remain on the list until you close it out. Or maybe that's also a bug?

Most of them are lack of informing the player -- I think Eder's armor, for instance, has two incompatible upgrade trees. They just aren't flagged that way.

Hrm, that's a shame. With Eders armor, I can see how some of them might overlap, but whispers of yenwood? Taking a skill that increases...crit damage makes the debuff disappear? Odd.

 

Maybe they should look into explaining this in the tutorial...Or give us an indicator or something to know what's exclusive.

I agree. It feels a little like they threw the enchantment system together at the last minute. I'm pretty happy about how good it is, considering it probably wasn't too high-priority.

Hello all,

 

Thanks for posting! We have this issue bugged and are currently investigating the issue.

 

Best,

Still an issue in 1.2.

 

Aside from the Whispers of Yenwood I also have Min's Fortune and Casita Samilia's Legacy. It seems every enchantment removes 2 options rather than just it's one???

Yeah, some items have three (or even four?) mutually exclusive upgrades. I'm convinced that this is not a bug, but simply a failure of the UI to make this clear.
