Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Charm Quality of Weapons

As I remember in DD, when you get a unidentified item, you can get a 5 charm quality item after couple of SL, but with BD, the item is always the same, it is not randomly created but prefixed! This really sucks!

In both DD and BD, item properties (and many container contents) are set when you run your mouse over it, move it, pick it up or press the alt key nearby. You can quick save before this to reload repeatedly to try for different equipment stats. IIRC, someone mentioned seeing a maximum of 4 charm slots in BD. I only recall seeing a charm quality of 1 or 2, but since I have not used any charms yet, have not been paying close attention.

This is not the case, I must say.
In DD, if you have a unidentified item in your inventory, and when you meet someone who is capable of identifying, you can save before indentifying and each time you will get different stats for the item and different charm qualities. But in BD, when you grab the item, it's stats are set, that's the difference.

BTW, my Battle Mage just acquired a crossbow with the charm quality of 4,:)

This is only the case for the couple items given directly to the character, which have to be moved in the inventory to set their stats.

Well, I don't know if this is true. But for my own experience, I get a sword in a quest, it is not given by anyone, I just grab it from behind some rocks. After couples of SL, I have a sword with 5 slots AND freezing property. This sword last until the end of the whole game, coz when spells doesnt work, my sword can work out perfectly.

BTW> If you are in the states, I suppose you should be getting some sleep now, you are staying up tooooooooooo late. I am in China.

Do you have the English version of DD? IIRC, I think even in the unpatched English release equipment properties were set by picking them up. Maybe that was changed in a patch or a different language version?

I am north of the states, in Canada.

Yes...up here in Canada, we get Swords with nice stats and freeze and charm slots too.....it kinda offsets the miserable weather we often get.....good thing my Igloo is waterproof! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
You could try the save/reload approach....but for me i found, the stats to get only worse after the first pickup reload.... but maybe thats just me....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Well, my DD is a Chinese version, but it is based on the english version, only will chinese language patch, that's all. I believe mine is not the latest patch (1.32 or something). Well, yeah, it seems that couples of reloads won't make it better, but when you insist, finally it WILL be better, only give it some patience.
