I would. There's alot of issues I've seen reported there that Blizzard hasn't done anything about, for example the exploit to lay a freeze trap in combat has existed for months, despite an 11 page thread in the bug forums on the issue.

I was joking. I am sure Blizzard reads the bug forums.

A guildmate of mine just tested it with Brilliant Mana Oil. The text stayed on his weapon saying "Brilliant Mana Oil." The permanent enchant was gone.

Lesser Mana Oil was just tested and the permanent enchant persisted however the Lesser Mana Oil buff was gone after relogging (what should happen).

The plot thickens!

What server, item, enchant?

Z-Factor · 08/15/06, 7:27 PM

possibly effecting certain data centres?

Wubwub · 08/15/06, 7:28 PM

If you say the PTR so help me..

♦ Oggie · 08/15/06, 7:28 PM

You know, if they make it so my brilliant mana oil becomes the permanant enchant on my healing weapon, I think I'm not going to bitch.

I know you were joking, and I'm not saying that Blizzard doesn't read the bug forums, only that I've seen a few bugs reported there that have been confirmed by alot of people, and remain unfixed.

Anyways, sorry for the derailment - it seems that other people are also reporting the bug with brilliant mana oil, saying their enchant disappers but the mana oil stays on the weapon as if it was a permenant enchant.

EDIT: It seems I take too long writing posts :(

Twid · 08/15/06, 7:32 PM

Had a guildie test pretty much everything from coarse sharpening stones to brilliant wizard oil. Brilliant Mana Oil is the only one bugged.

His quel'serrar appears to have a permanent Brilliant mana oil for another 5 min.

Oh, and he's going to test if reenchanting will get it wiped again.

Can someone say 55 healing + perm. mana oil on an augur staff?

Wubwub · 08/15/06, 7:33 PM

Where? What server?

Twid · 08/15/06, 7:34 PM

Apologies, on Cenarion Circle, RP-PvE server . Unsure of zone, but I'd imagine eastern kingdoms (alliance side)

Wubwub · 08/15/06, 7:35 PM

Odd as fuck. I swear to God it's not active on Mal'ganis. Was that server extended maintenance?

Yeah, meant to say that it's got 5 min. as a timer on his buff list, meaning we'll know if it sticks after that

Doomcrusher · 08/15/06, 7:36 PM

I just tested a Brilliant Mana Oil charge on a Razor Axe of the Eagle with +2 striking. I logged in and out in Ironforge, Mana Oil was gone, +2 striking was still there.

For the record, I'm on Elune, one of the servers that had extended maintenance until approximately 5PM today. I'm thinking that one of the reasons for the additional extension of the maintencance was to fix this bug on the servers that hadn't gone up yet.

Firetree, green level 55-ish of nature's wrath, +3 weapon damage.

Wubwub · 08/15/06, 7:39 PM

That's some effed up shit man. It could have to do with the age of the enchants.

Found, confirmed, rolling restarts to fix it.

henaki · 08/15/06, 7:40 PM

Only works through Trade Window.

If you're wondering, thats what the world message said, just alt-tabbed to report that.

From the thread linked in the OP.

Twid · 08/15/06, 7:41 PM

In any case, the "permanent" looking mana oil enchant fades when the timer expires, and the original enchant stays gone

Wubwub · 08/15/06, 7:47 PM

Yup. Trade window only.

This begs one question.

Who applies mana oil through the trade window?

Z-Factor · 08/15/06, 7:53 PM

well its a charged item, and there are a lot of lazy cunts in the world who don't carry their own supplies.

Hahaha!

=D the gleader of Tichondrius's DnT (a fellow guildmate) will be happy to hear that he's being confused with the real DnT

Twid · 08/15/06, 7:57 PM

Pretty much all BoP stuff picked up in guild 5 man stuff (usually alt runs) gets sharded and sent to the guild bank, where we churn out heaps of oils. Oils are handed out to class leaders and we just have people open trade for 'em before a set of attempts.

It also makes sure people are actually buffing themselves instead of just having a rock in their bags that they don't use. We tend to have people thinking every run is a "dry" run for some stupid reason.
