Setting a magical amethyst -- bug maybe?

Post by Sir Gnar »

~ Perhaps theres a reason but I have a magical amethyst and i can not add it to an amethyst amulet. Is this a bug or simply not meant to be done? If anyone has any idea let me know...

I don't have an amethyst ring nor do I want to place it in a ring. I'd like to put it in the amethyst amulet i have, so if it only works with rings it is a bug right? or am i just doing something wrong?

You need an amethyst amulet for that. Is that what you are trying?

Its a bug then. Magic gems are supposed to work with both rings and amulets.

Thanks for the answers. However, I am not familiar with reporting bugs, is there someone that is willing to report the problem?

Afaik, its not a bug. It is intended that gems only work with rings.

Exactly.

It is not intended that you put magical gems into amulets. If you think this might be a nice feature, please submit it to Mantis as feature request:

http://illarion.org/mantis

Also, think about an effect of such an enchantment. Raising attributes is restricted to rings.

Maybe you should take the amulets out of putting gems into trinkets book then.

Hairsplitting!

Nope ;-).

I'll edit the confusing line, replacing "trinkets" with "rings". The german version is more clear here.

Edit: Done at testserver. Will be active with very big update.

I see no problem in having amulets give attribute bonus as well, just like the rings.. Makes sense.
