Lunagems now socket properly
Socketing lunagems into your gear works again, and it works the way it should have all along.
What was broken: socketing wrote the gem into the slot the game uses for an item's appearance instead of into an actual stat socket. That is why gear turned into the gem, looked broken, or seemed to do nothing at all. In some cases it crashed the client outright.
What is fixed:
- Gems now go into real stat sockets and grant their stats. Your Equipment Points go up accordingly.
- Your item keeps its own look. Nothing gets turned into a gem anymore.
- The crash on socketing is gone.
- Sockets persist correctly through logout.
House rules on socketing
This is an RP server, so socketing here is kinder than retail:
- Socketing always succeeds. There is no failure roll.
- Nothing is ever destroyed. Retail would break every gem already in the item on a failed attempt. That gamble is removed entirely.
- Every piece gets 7 sockets, regardless of item grade. You are not gated by gear rarity.
- Remove Lunagem pulls your gems back out and returns them to your bag, free, any time you like.
If you have a piece that was damaged by the old bug, use Remove Lunagem on it. It now repairs the item's appearance and hands the gem back.
Gem matching
Lunagems only fit the gear they were made for, and the game will now tell you plainly when one does not fit instead of doing something strange.
- One-hand weapons: Strong Blow, Sharpshot, Apex, Salvation
- Two-hand weapons: Buffet, Marksman, Extreme, Aid
- Shields: Impenetrable, Clash
- Armor: Defense, Magic Defense, Vitality, Finesse, Celerity and similar
Also fixed
A separate bug was found while chasing this one: a character-save fault that could silently discard progress. Anything that character did was being rolled back without warning. That is corrected.
Known issue
After socketing, the item may briefly display as broken in your bag. Your gem is safely socketed. Relog and it displays correctly. We are still working on the live refresh.
Weapons are confirmed working. Shields, armor, and instruments are next.
