Hephaestus and PoF

[Cupid]

So I wanted to repair my shield to sell it and it went from 235/255 to 245/245, no problem, dabbed it with PoF and it went to 200/200, wtf I'll boost it up and hit it again with the PoF and it went to 150/150, wtf, is this a known issue? Guess its not worth as much as I thought.

Thanks

thats because ur hephaestus is a void pool reward from covetous:

The real hephaestus is a drop from shame dungeon and doesnt have antique mod on it.

its also worth noting that any antique items acts as you just did when u POF it

oh yea, known issue. maybe we need more people to tell the devs, to get the lead out of their ass. It's only been 2 years.

various "clean" items inablility to PoF & Antique items vs repair/PoF.

"Clean" items which are unable to use PoF (Powder of Fortifying) on the item.

There should be a dialog box that pops up when you POF an antique item telling you what exactly is going to happen.

Yea its a known bug, but devs will never fix it. It shouldnt be possible to use pof on antique at that point since it reduce its durability , like there is 0 scenarios where it would make the pof useful on antique, so rather have it not work at all , but yea devs dont have time to test any of that , theyre way too busy with, I dont know what...

Antique is the worst excuse for a property I have ever seen. I wish they would get rid of it. Brittle on the other hand is fine.
