Imbuing Bug - Necro & Bushido skill

[HeathBar]

When you imbue + necro skill it overwrites any + bushido skill and vice versa no matter what the intensity. I can't get both skills on the same piece of jewelry.

Anyone else having this issue or know any way around it?

Not a bug, this the way jewelry is designed:

You cannot have skills from the same group on a piece of jewelry.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

That makes no sense. Why are there groups of skills? <_<

That is not a question I know the answer to, I do know it was this way prior to imbuing though. So jewelry always spawned based on those groups.

It's grouped to help prevent situations like swordmanship and fencing being on the same piece of jewelry in monster loot.

Are skills the only things that are grouped? Wasn't sure if there was one mod on a looted ring or braclet you might could replace with a more useful mod. It seems you could do that with skills possibly? I just started imbuing and was curious if you need to find a good piece to start with and then add to that with imbuing? Hope that makes sense.

then why does my gargoyle only ring have +12 archery?

That's a separate issue.

The jewelry skill groupings were not added in SA - it's existed all along, most people just never noticed it existed until imbuing brought it front and center.
