Ammo slot modifiers not working

[Ursawraith]

Hail, Tanker.

So Absor went aggro about this around the office, so I talked to the guys who had it removed in the first place. Turns out they had to remove all spell effects (worn) from Ammo items for [unimportant story].

You say, What unimportant story?




Heh couldn't resist with the key words already bracted and all.

Yes, any +skill item should work in that slot once things are pushed live.

Basically, anything that stacks isn't going to work in that slot.

All I can say it, don't go throwing your trophies at your enemies. If you do, don't blame us.

I just caught this; for some reason I'd missed it before.

The first two statements appear contradictory. +% bait stacks, and it goes in the ammo slot. The first statement says it will work (and this is supported by the rest of the thread), but the second statement says it won't.

And please tell me that third line there is a joke. It would be a sad, sad day if people started losing their trophies just because they hit Ranged Attack without checking their ammo slot.

Gotta champions something...

Absor SMASH!

Thanks guys! A very handy change.

+% skills dont stack. Only the highest takes effect. As opposed to +Wis (for example) which stacks adding to your total and so will not work from the ammo slot.

Just agreeing with the above logic.

I think that Abs is talking about the bonus stacking not the item.

So Bounses that don't stack will work (even on items that do stack)
Bonuses that do stack wont work (even on items that dont)

I think that Abs is talking about the bonus stacking not the item.

Doh! I misread that completely. I thought he meant stacks as in "leather padding stacks", not as in "attack bonuses stack".

OK, now it makes sense. =)

Yay patch today made mods work from ammo slot! Woo woo 4 trophies~~

[Kilauea Bacchus]

So what's your charisma?

[KyrosKrane]

Just tested it yesterday with trophies. When you equip a trophy in your ammo slot, your tradeskill value goes up (as reported in the new interface), but your normal stats (WIS/INT, CHA, etc.) don't change.

Rock on!

Thanks a bundle, Absor and Tanker.

[Androsulach]

Well, the patch message did say it was the skill mod that would work from ammo, not that we'd get the AC or stats from them as well, but the skill mod working means we can equip 4 for those cross skill combines and that if we put bait with a skill mod in the ammo slot, we'll get that boost on our fishing.

[Slippyblade]

I checked this after patch and all is as Tanker said. Skill % mods now work in ammo slot but stats remain unaffected. Thanks Tank! This is a great step forward and a very cool move on you guys' part.

Okay, I'm confused. How are you guys equipping this in the ammo slot? Both my better half and I tried it on a lark because of the patch, and neither the tinkerers spanner nor the jewelcraft one will equip there. Also, the trophies do not say ammo, which is not suprising since they weren't intended to work there originally.

[Kilauea Bacchus]

Huh? Stealth nerf? Click this magelo http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=715906 and check out the ammo slot.

[Ulaxmi]

Ixiola, I'm guessing that you've put an augment on your trophies. Since no augments are ammo slot equippable, the augmented trophy loses it's ammo slot tag.
