Greetings Everyone, I would like to address the exploit that is currently active with Hawkwind’s robe. We are removing the Transmogrification Potion – Robe Slot from the store until this fix is published. Know that we are working on a solution and will release it when it passes QA. These items will no longer be equippable following the fix. Due to the fact this is an exploit you will be given one (1) of two (2) choices. You can keep the item as decoration. If you go that route then a note will be put in your file as […]

For those wondering what this means...

There was briefly a bug whereby a Hawkwind's Robe and Mantle Archlich robe could have the stats combined onto one object. This results in tabards which appear like this:

I also heard you could do this with the Stealth Robes. Glad to hear it's being addressed and those who abused the bug won't be able to equip any further.

Although I must say, it was a pretty sweet item!

So they did the tabard transmog in the well of souls, then were able to transmog again with a potion?

The system thought the hawking tabard was blank so it added the mantle stats.

How are we supposed to know that tabard, monks robe, and parrot are not repairable?
you can't try to repair them until they are damaged.

I would caution discussing any detail of how to perform the exploit, as it is against Stratics RoC. Perhaps can share more once the fix is in place and its confirmed they're no longer equipable.

So, if all you have is a basic "non-transmogged" Hawkwinds Robe, it's ok to keep using, or do all Hawkwind robes need to be turned in?

Destination items getting the target mods was brought up when the transmog potions came out. This puts many items at risk of deletion now.

Now I am concern, I hated the look of the Hawkwind robe and have changed it across several shards, all for the more normal robe. Am I going to lose these robes across all shards?

Without knowing the exploit i would assume tha Problem is the tabbard which can be target of two tranmorphs.

Because you are know what you do, i would Not allow them to get the potion Back. You are a buguser If you have such a robe. Even If you buy IT, you Support exploits.

I have a tabard that I transmogged on and the tabard cannot be repaired. I didn’t know this until I transmogged onto it and it got damaged. And so my tabard will be destroyed through damage.

I must perform this exploit to exchange it for a free transmog potion?

I guess the instructions for transmog could have been clearer, you know that medable can only be transmogged to medable, and non med to non med, but items with durability should not be transmogged onto items the don't have durability. They did say the items should have basic properties, didn't specify that included things like durability, which is a basic property, but perhaps not an obvious one.

Mantle of archlich is repairable
So why the ‘repairable’ property doesn’t get transferred?
I paid real dollars for the potion and got rewarded with my 600 mill mantle being destroyed and my 40 mill tabard being destroyed by damage.
How do we perform this exploit to claim our free transmog potion?

I think you don’t understand, i already used a transmog potion a long time ago and was left with a tabard with no durability that I can’t repair. Like many people, but now she is offering us a free transmog if we perform the exploit. I don’t know why she is offering the free potion only for doing the exploit though.

I got the new robe now and it only used a hawkwind robe.
She will give me a transmog potion which is worth more than double a Hawkwind robe.

FYI ... saw this in a Discord server this morning:

I don't seem to be having issues with mine so far, but not sure if this fix is rolled out yet on ATL

@Merlin there have been a lot of questions regarding 3rd party programs and I know long long ago stratics had a page that was full of programs written by players and for the life of me I can not find it. Do you think you guys could find it and restore it. I use UOHomeOwner and UORudder a lot as an example.

It seems folks are still wearing the exploited Hawkwind tabards.
