I hit a bug in D2X 1.09d with my somewhat innocuous +3 bowskill ashwood bow with 3 sockets which became a melody bow (ShaelKoNef)
The problem happened on the realm but I've since reproduced it on SP using and equivalent junk character with Jamelas.
The bow requires 56/77 str/dex ... or so I thought.
It appears the bow in fact requires 87 Dex .. exactly 10 more than indicated. Curiously melody itself adds +10 dex as one of the runeword bonuses.
Now don't get me wrong.. at 77 dex one can equip the bow, but NONE of the +skill bonuses stack up to any skills (all pasives/bow skills had at least 1 point invested). Lifting the bow up and down doesnt change any of it (I've been through all of it.. lift,throw down, weapon switch etc. etc.)
I was merrily expecting my FA to raise by 6 skill points but instead nothing happened... until I placed *another 10* dex points in.
This is supposed to be a mageazon build I'm doing so I do not particularly want to pump dex at all to avoid this.
Oh and btw.. this was tested with a naked zon too (only bow equipped), so the order of re-equipping equipment by the game is irrelevant here.
I had an idea that maybe all the bows with +skills & +dex are affected . So I spawned me a lycanders but no. It works fine at its 110dex.
Does anyone have any advice or will this become yet another chapter in Bliz's everbuggy equipment bonuses saga.
