DCI 35 boomerang imbuing weight is off by 100.

I finally got around to reforging myself a 35 dci boomerang mage weapon today. After 15 hammers I finally got a clean weapon (2 mods counting dci 35 & di 40).

I powdered, then brought the di to 2.
I added fc1.
I went to add mage weapon -20 and noticed the weight would now be 498 if I imbued it.
I checked to see if it made any difference putting spell channeling on first. No go.
There is no hidden mod (durability/lower requirements). The di, dci, and fc1 count as 3 of 5 mods.

I would guess that the fc1 weight counted as 240 pts instead of 140, but that's just a guess. It may be that when I changed the di to 2, it counted the weight as 102. I don't know, and I'm not wasting the rest of my morning to test it out.

I just wanted to give a heads up before anyone else wastes their time and resources.

Isnt normally dci capped at 15? Which would mean that dci of 35 would count as 233 intensity? (Add to that weighted intensity of fc 1 , intensity of di 2 and mage weapon -20 and your in about at max imbuing weight.)

Throwing weapons and archery weapons are 25 dci for a weight of 110.
For 35 dci the weight is 156 on ranged weapons.

Seems weird to me as well. Maybe when reforging DCI on ranged weapons, it actually calculates the intensity as a melee wep? Using that idea though, the -20 mage wep would put you at 500, not 498.

DCI 35 = 156 (ranged weps)
FC1 = 140
SC -1 = 100
Mage Weapon -20 = 100

I had already stated that I first lowered the DI on the weapon to 1 which = 2 pts. Hence the 498 when everything would have been put on. Then I would have raised the DI to 2, and the weapon would have been 500 intensity points.

There's an extra 100 points on the weapon due to an unintended bug obviously.

I wonder if it could be counting the dci as 15 for the cap and not 25?

Yeah thats what i was saying. It comes out to 498 with those mods if you use 15. I said 500 earlier but was counting 2di, not 1.

Funny think is, that I didnt found any infos about that. I know that ranged weapons have a higher cap for hci but didnt know, that it also applys for dci. (Not to mention that i also did not find any info about that increased cap but maybe i am only having a bad day today. *g* )

We had a thread going about this on UHall I think it was. It was introduced with Shame loot and hasn't been resolved yet. Yes it takes it as 15 for ranged if the extra reforging bonus is applied same as shame loot. Continue to submit it as a bug until its resolved..

This is a big problem, a lot of people talk about bugs and problems here and then complain they never get fixed, but the bugs where never turned in because they think oh why bother someone else I am sure did it !
