I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug, but I noticed that the benefits that come from the Idol of Sylvannus stop working after leaving the area. I mean, I went to the Mountain Pass, and noticed I didn't have the proficiency in the skills anymore.

This was after the camp party, so I never gave the idol to Mol. I had an opportunity to use Deception about it in dialogue with her, but figured there was no point in bringing it up if she wasn't asking. I wanted to see if having the idol on me would give any special dialogue options with Arabella in Act 2.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed anything about this. I don't want to put it in the technical part of the forum because I'm not sure it's a bug. Maybe it's supposed to stop giving a benefit after leaving the area? Don't know. Shrug.

Thoughts?

I noticed if you read the book in the Grove, it explains the idols powers the ritual in the Grove. I believe it giving buffs outside the Grove is the bug. As picking the artifact causes everyone to become hostile.... including your party and all nearby npcs in EA. That to me implied it was likely supposed to be a neutral war trigger for tieflings vs druids, as stealing it with Mage hand does the same war state as the player stealing it.

The above is just my guess though. May be cut content, bugged or unintended side effect
