Spell channeling bugged?

[Guest]

For a few weeks now, every time I cast a spell holding my swords of prosperity, they drop in my pack. The SOP is a spell channeling mage weapon -0. It's supposed to let me cast spells without dropping it.

What's up?

Have you checked UO & UOA (if you use it) that your not hitting something thats on the same key as a disarm or equip last macro?

 

[Guest]

Yup. Not using any macros, just casting a spell (greater heal) from the button on my screen.

Have you experimented with casting while using another spell channeling weapon of equal or greater weight? Also, how much of your strength is coming from mods on armor/weapons/jewelry? It doesn't seem like it should matter, but maybe there's been a change and strength is being recalculated when you cast and something's out of whack somehow. And are you casting using LRC, regs or a spell scroll?

Have you tried using the SOP with another mage character and if yes, how's it working for that character?

Is the weapon only dropping when you cast a particular spell? If yes, is your macro somehow messed up? Do you maybe have a disarm macro set up for same key combo?

(Oops, just saw that you're not using a macro...disregard last paragraph.)

Hmmm. Lol.

It looks like I have some homework to do... I'll have to try other SCNP weapons and trying it on other characters.

I'm using regs, however, and it drops with any spell I use. At least, gheal, heal, cure, archcure, invis, and res.

I'm running 125 strength, with no buffs from spells or items.

I just logged on and specifically tried casting with my swords of prosperity equipped. They did not drop in my pack.
Sounds like your character is somehow bugged.
Have you tried closing and opening your paperdoll? I know it sounds stupid but try it. lol

Any chance you can put LRC on the character, get all the regs out of your pack, and then try it? I think you're on Siege so I'm not sure if you normally use LRC. Maybe try some arcane clothing (no regs in pack) if you don't want to do LRC. What happens if you drop the swords and put on a spell channeling shield and maybe a spellbook? Have you tried any other spells? Are you wearing any kind of quiver and if yes, is there anything in it and is it acting like it should with regard to displaying the weight of the quiver and contents? And which client are you using?

(I'm kind of going down the path that it might be a weight issue because I can't think of any other reason for a SC weapon to drop like that if you're just casting off the spell icon dragged out of a spell book. And if it is a weight issue, could the regs or something like a quiver be at the root of it.)

Good things to try! Yes, I am on siege and don't normally use LRC, although I have several suits.

I don't think it has to do with a weight issue, but I may try to switch them to another char and try to separate if the problem is with my char or with my swords.

Yeah, don't get me started sometimes with trying to dissect a problem. Now you've got me thinking about how you're gonna safely switch the sword to another character since you play on Siege. Arrrggghhh!!
