I just upgraded to 1.41 patch. Now the "Lucky Leather Cap" or whatever, that I recieved from the Skull at the beginning is not working. I am no longer getting the HUGE luck boost, OR the boost for armor. What's up? I really liked that luck boost to help me get great item drops! The cap has also somehow been renamed to "Skull Reward" for some reason... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

The name of unique items change when you move to the next act.
You do not have the Repair skill? Does it show up in the trade window, so you can have an NPC repair it?

I have the repair skill, but I don't mean the durability is broken. I mean that the item is not boosting ANY stats.

Also, I am still in the same act that I received the item in (Act I). The only thing I did was install the new patch. Which is screwing up endless other things as well.

The item, for some reason or another, has never shown up in a trade window, that I'm aware of anyway. I figured it was because it was a special item. This is for all versions back to 1.32. I've never had any problems with the stat boost until now.

Opps looks like someone already reported htis. The lucky cap is lucky no more, which makes me wonder if all stat boosting equipment is messed up now. Oh well, back to not playing BD until they fix something again.

Lucky cap works fine for me under 1.41 (I originally started my game in 1.4), BUT the name did change to "Skull Reward".

I can confirm this. So the pattern is: If the game was started in a version prior to 1.40 the luck helm is screwed when upgrading to 1.41, if the game was started from scratch at 1.40 the helm is just renamed. (Or maybe the version of the game when the helm was received is what matters. Anyhow.)

Not true. DoritoOfDeath's game was started from scratch under 1.4.

funny... i don't have this problem. while the name is different, the cap still works. of course at the moment, i'm still running 1.32, and preparing to brave the horrors of 1.41 .:heh:.

The name of my cap is actually the same as it has always been, but now it gives no luck (even though it still says luck boost +12 or whatever)
