Dweomercrafting Rune Bug - The Rune Does Nothing

Post by Kriema »

So! I've been trying to get a Monk's Belt enchanted. I was lucky enough to find two of them, so I experimented a little, with the help of a few enchanters.

So the base item has Discipline +2, Weapon Spec Unarmed as a bonus feat, and can only be used by Lawful Monks. All well and good so far.

The base price was low, so I wanted to try and get two attributes on it, then add a rune. I didn't want to be too greedy, since it's a limited item.

I got Dexterity added, and it turned out it couldn't be enchanted further without a rune. A lens test, from two different ones, confirmed that it needed a Greater Rune. Well all right, fair enough.

I happened to get another Monk's Belt, and this time I thought I'd experiment a little, and push it. I got Fortitude +1 on it, then Dex, and had the same result. Still needed a Greater Rune, still double checked to make sure.

So now I go and get a Greater Rune to put on it and...

The rune does nothing. It consumes the rune. It applies the text of the rune. But when anyone attempts to enchant it? 0% chance, in red. It's as if the rune isn't there.

So I've just dropped a pricey rune that doesn't do its function. It feels like it's just bugged, but never come up because it's a loot table item.

If I manage to get attachments to work, I'll attach pictures of both versions of the belt.

Dex +1 on the belt needs greater rune is correct
Dex +1 with Fort +1 on the belt needs greater is also correct because Fort saving throw does not eats a space.

What's the language that you use to bind the rune though? Are you sure it's the right language and the person dweomer it has the mastery of language with the right dweomercrafting levels.

The rune is binded on the language that you're speaking at that time. Could be Espruar, Dethek or even Celestial.

Current Active PC : Hidden

The rune is Thorass. The character I'm playing doesn't even speak another language. I couldn't get attachments to work, but here is an imgur link of both belts for you to see.

The only thing I can think of, is that it may be the Dweomercrafting skill of the person attempting the work, both for the properties being added in terms of what you can add, and the rune activation

Is the person attempting the Dweomercrafting a Tier 3 Dweomercrafter?

They are. I even server transitioned and asked another Dweomercrafter with tier 3 to take a look. Still absolutely nothing possible.

I know that, previously, that specific belt did take a rune and it did work.

If it's being done on the live server, and you've confirmed that they're a T3 Dweomercrafter, and the chance to successfully put the property on is 0% in red, and nothing in brackets (it should show as "0% (100%)" to show that without the rune, it's not possible), then it sounds like a bug.

Mhmm! I did all the confirmations, which is why I'm taking it here to report it as a bug. Hoping to get a little help so at least the rune can work, if it's at all possible.
