Do you play Test Center and not keep up on publishes?

Antique is now showing up on the Production servers (at least in EC/Pincos).

 

[Ender]

Well that's... Odd. I wonder if any of the other loot changes snuck in.

Its just text replacement "ephemeral" to "Antique"

^^ retroactive change, although maybe the function isn't changed yet?

here's an example from Origin. by the way, anyone know why my UO title bar is messed up as it is? been like that since Vista it seems.

Antique – Increased durability loss, can be powdered 3 times. Each powder will reduce max durability to 250, 200, and 150 respectively. Can be repaired.

Ephemeral is an item property found on Covetous Void Pool reward artifacts. Items with this property lose one point of their maximum durability every six minutes when the item is used while attacking a creature. In other words, players can use these items for a total of 25 hours (6 minutes x 250 maximum durability) while actively fighting against a creature and not just simply being in war mode or the target of aggression. As noted by Phoenix, "the intent is for ephemerals to last for 25 hours of actual fighting time without having to worry about keeping them repaired". Note that the items with this property cannot be fortified and so can never have their maximum durability increased.

Which means former ephemeral items are now amaze-balls, actually, assuming durability loss is based on getting hit again.

Is that a mistake that the bracelet has a Eater property?

Nope.

No, it was an artifact. how an artifact becomes an antique isn't explained in the patch notes.
It does say, "All items with the ephemeral property will be converted to antique."
Clearly that doesn't apply for non-ephemeral artifacts.
