Family Name: Icywind
Game Control Mode (Keyboard/Joypad/Mouse) : Any

Bug Description:
As we all know, this gauntlets provides a very useful bonus to the AoE atk ratio of your character, which enhances not only your melee attack but also some skills (but it seems that not every skill gains the bonus, works with Earthquake and Energy Bolt as we can see in the tooltip when you wear it but fails to increase the AoE ratio of Psychic Pressure and Snowrolling, maybe for balance purposes). But with the bug that i’m reporting the effects of the item only works if you EQUIP the gauntlets first and then enter in a new map or relog, otherwise you will only get the +10 STR and defense bonus. Also, you can abuse this bug too: If you enter in a map (or relog) with the gauntlets ON,you can switch back to your other gloves and enjoy both effects at the same time. Maybe the game engine has a problem updating the +AoE bonus from your gear. The gauntlets is used to test because it has the most noticiable bonus, but we also have other items with simular effects (but weaker bonus) like Staffs.
Screenshots / Video :
- in this first video i’m not wearing the gloves yet, as you can see, i can hit 2 tiles of the wall but when i equip the gauntlets nothing happens.
- In this second video, we can see the gauntlets working… To make this work i just relogged my character. Reentering maps works too.
- in this third video, i’m going to show the other effect of this bug. You can enter in a map with the gauntlets ON and switch to other gloves. In this test i switched to my magic ampification gloves (roxona gloves) so you can see that i’m hitting the walls with the extra AoE ratio effect (3 tiles with a dagger) and the damage going up (from 1099 to 1109 +44 M.A = ~1125) thanks to the amplification effect and +10 lightning damage of the roxona gloves.
