Runic Bows dont work

[Torque]

I asked Suehside to test the difference in damage between a loth manaflow bow and a narmal manaflow bow and we discovered that runic bows dont work.

Im just wondering if this is intentional or a bug. If it is a bug could you also let me know if you are acually able to make a working runic weapon from a loth bow as I have heard it is possble to make runic loth staffs.

Thanks very much

BTW I understand your point about not knowing that runic items were disabled Ironfire, sorry.

Maybe it works if you make the arrow the runic weapon instead of the bow?

[Guy[3rush]

then you fire one bow and its gone :/ id also liek to know about the possablilty of a runic bow, WES said you cannot rune a loth bow, only normal bows

[Torque]

Yeah i realise the stupidity in making a manaflow arrow, however why i said it was cos if it did work it would show that bows were intended to be able to be amde into runic weapons and the reason they dont work is simply a bug becasue the bow is just a launcher for the arrow which is the actual weapon that does the damage.

Could someone please address this question I am waiting to create a runic bow and i need to know if it is going to work or not. Also could someone tell me if i make a double runic item of elelmental syaying (for example) does it do *4 dam?

Basicaly the Runic weapon script is not complete, it was created by FireFly who never finished it or removed all the bugs from it before he left.

Runes and Gems do NOT work in any magic weapons such as vanq,ruin,power as thee item types are not in the script, only normal weapons. It SOME times works in magic loth items such as a loth staff, yet it may not work like a loth bow.

They may well go into such a weapon but they will have no effect.

The bottom line is try it and if it works then thats ok if not we will replace all the items so you can put them in something else. The script will get repaired/replaced in due course.

what skills do u have to have to make such weapons?

[Torque]

none all you need is a magical runestone (you can find this on my vendor by brit moongate :) ), a gem (there are several types) and a magical seal. DOuble click the rune then the weapon to open a gem hole, double click the gem u want to use and then the weapon, do the same with the seal to complete the weapon. Then try your best not to get caught running throught the woods on foot with it :P

Does anyone know if gems not working on bows is still an issue? I realize this post is old but I would hate to end up wasting items. Thanks for any help.

[pilz-e]

last i checked they still didnt work.

[joshua]

not on noob weapons either?

[GM_Black]

ive heard about other bug: when u make bow +15 runical, gems makes it normal (even if gem works properly - u got notmal bow without +15 but runical ;) ). Is it true?

[joshua]

i would really hate to waste such a rare item, finding out that my gems dont do anything to my weapon....
Could we get some clarification on this subject please, preferably from someone who knows the scripts well...what weapons work and what weapons don't work with these gems?
Ruin-Vanq...y/n?
Bows...y/n?
Newbied weapons...y/n?
Regualr weapons...y/n?


Thanks in advance.

In the case where you discover that you can gem a certain weapon yet it does not receive it's runic effect, you can page to get your items replaced, although I'm not aware of any weapons where this is the case.

cool, good to clear that up. thanks :>
