I recently noticed that the wiki entries describing how the Vambraces of Distraction and Funny Money worked were contradictory:

The wiki entry for the The Gift Box (http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Gift_Box) says that:

Only 2-throne combination items work (e.g., Green Wristguard, Vambraces of Distraction, Crown of Distraction), except for Mask of Melodies (1-throne), which also works


However, Vambraces of Distraction are in fact the only Armor of Distraction which requires just one Throne (White Throne, Black Crown, Black Knight, Black Squire).

So, my question is, can one create Funny Money with Vambraces of Distraction (and in fact there are two recipes which only require one throne) or is Mask of Melodies truly the only one throne Funny Money item?

Daldaen helpfully explained that the bit about Funny Money only working for a single one-Throne recipe makes perfect sense, because the Vambraces of Distraction aren't supposed to be a one-Throne combine:

P99 has a fake combine for Vambraces of Distraction. It should actually be:

White Throne, Black Throne, Black Crown, Black Knight

So, as much as it'd be nice to have two one-throne combines for Funny Money, it seems like the classic fix would be to change Vambraces of Distraction to instead require two thrones like the rest of the set.

P.S. It'd be really nice if you either deleted the Velious bug forums, or just changed them to "Bug forums" and deleted this forum. Having both makes it confusing as to where players should file bugs.

If the problem is that you want to delete one or the other, but don't want to lose the content in them, might I suggest renaming whatever you want to delete to "Old Name [DEPRECATED: Please don't use]" or something like that.

This would let you keep old posts, but at least give players a clue as to where you want new ones :)
