Kind of an amusing bug here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I discovered that several of my armor items (a belt, a ring, etc.) had "recuperation time 5" listed under them, which made no sense at all. After a bit I discovered that it wasn't an item specific bug, and that I could replicate it at will.

Take an item with an open charm slot:

Add a charm to it (any charm, far as I can tell). And what do you get?

Presto. Just a LITTLE bit odd, heh heh. Does anyone know if this has any real effect, what causes the problem, or anything else? Doesn't seem to be hurting anything, but it's very peculiar.

As far as i know this doesn´t have an effect at all. It´s just kind of funy, but nothing special, but good you found out that it has something to do with cahrming the items. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

btw, there was an earlier discussion of this here: "recuperation time" on armor? ... but not as nicely documented as yours! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I saw that thread when I did a quick search before posting this one. It was old enough and the issue uncertain enough that I figured a new thread couldn't hurt, ya know? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Such a strange little bug... so far I've been able to get it on any item that can be charmed, with the exception of weapons. (FORTUNATELY it seems bright enough to not overwrite what's already there.)

Just looked at some of my own screen captures, and sure enough, "Recuperation Time 5" shows up on everything I've charmed... but, as you say, it doesn't seem to hurt the other stats at all...

Isn't it strange though how long it takes us to realize that line has creeped in? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Bloody thing tries to hide, heh heh. No idea why the eye skips over it, but it definitely does.
