Items that should have range value

Currently, Runed Bone Fork is Primary, Secondary, and Ranged.

The "Ranged" slot wasnt added until Luclin. 1/23/2002

Quote:

Runed Bone Fork is now equippable primary, secondary and ranged. The "range" value has been removed to prevent people from accidentally throwing them

It was always range slot usable. The patch you quoted made it usable in secondary, and took out the ranged value so you couldn't throw it by accident.

^^ 100% used Fork in range during classic on live.

More research is required for this item. The postings on Zam indicate that this item was originally range equipable, but had a Range: 50 attribute which means you could throw it.

The above mentioned patch removed that attribute, but did not suddenly add range slot equipable to RBF.

Feb 02 2001: Very good resistances for ranged. I got one in Upper Guk the other day and carried it around for awhile until I happened to click on the auto equip area while shuffling items around and it landed in the ranged slot. Very nice. Just don't throw it.

Feb 02 2001: I just got this weapon the other night, this is great for my ranged slot

Mar 18 2001: Ok, I understand what the Ranged slot is and all that but if i decide to use this weapon from a distance, i lose it?? Is that correct??

Apr 03 2001: if you throw this weapon you will lose it for good. kinda sucks but thats just the way it is.

Comment 2 days after the above patch:

Jan 25 2002: Just FYI: This is no longer a problem. They removed the Range attribute, this can still be equipped in the RANGE slot but cannot be thrown.

I see, sorry for the waste of time guys :(

Shouldn't delete the thread and don't feel bad about making the report. We need more people making reports, so we can make the server more correct!

This report actually raises a good issue, because Runed Bone Fork, as currently implemented on P99 is incorrect.

Right now it is implemented as Range, Primary, Secondary. Without a range attribute.

This should be corrected to Range: 50 and removal of Secondary, based on the above comments.

Thanks for your patience/understanding Ele. I've created another thread regarding Kylong armor, if you would like to take a look. Any help with my research is appreciated!

Should have range value of 50 for life of server and removal of secondary.

I remember being terrified of accidentally throwing my stat range items on live. I'm sure there's lots of other items equipable in range that you should be able to throw.

Now that's classic.
