Miscellaneous: Red Scabbard Changes Missing

[Daldaen]

I'm curious how this actually works on live but I'm unsure I want to do an entire warrior epic to prove it.

Basically my thought is that maybe, on live the Red Scabbard you get from the quest, is the version we have now. That doesn't let you combine summoned swords in it.

However, once you complete the epic and have the above scabbard, the 2 hilts and 2 blades, when you click combine that first time, you get back your epics and a new scabbard, this one allowing you to do the summoned sword combines.

It's entirely possible if both of those item IDs exist on live still that this is how it works. It requires you combine the epic hilts and blades first to get the upgraded scabbard and from there you can get both the 1hs and the 2hs.

So the sword merging combine (1hs to 2hs) and the sword splitting combine (2hs to 1hs) works in either scabbard. But once you do the combine in Scabbard 1.0, you get back your epics and Scabbard 2.0. Which is why the patch notes say you need to do the combine once if you already had the scabbard.
