ZeroVega - 5/27/2005 4:35 PM First off, Invisibility and Greater Sanctuary spells DO have bugs on them. As a matter of fact just last night I cast Sunburst on some giants (Blinded them all) but of course they ran towards me as they always do and I calmly cast invisibility before they got to me. Now to my surprise they started taking swings at me (one of them a stunning fist) so I couldn't move, and they knocked me flat to -3 hp (note I had Greater Stoneskin on so this took a while). It was a bug. No GM. No player's fault. It's the targeting system. Seems once in a while it forgets to send the little blip of a message to the monsters saying "He just turned invisible, stop targeting," and they continue to come. And trust me when I say, dying at my level to this, is a lot more painful (and I suck it up all the time). As for the gems. It's common that gems and gem dusts will be taken off the crafting table and say Unidentified. When you examine them, it says Bad Sttref, and says it weighs an obscene amount (it doesn't). Just put them back on and craft like you would if they didn't have the funny name it works. Listen... if I took things as badly as you "Appear" to be taking them I wouldn't have stayed on Layo for the almost two years I have. Trust me, I've been whacked a lot harder than you have by bugs, but at the end of the day I can laugh and say, least I had fun before then, and I get back in game, and have some more fun.
Pankoki - 5/27/2005 4:36 PM Heh.. on the first, I'm telling you man its a Bioware bug with invisibility/gsanc and creatures fixing on players. When the AI targets a player it locks onto it and sometimes it skips the recognition of invisibility or greater sanctuary. The only thing I've noticed that help a bit here is keep on moving and hope for the best. Generally though the best solution is not rely on these spell overly much and know that sometimes they just don't work. Trust me many many many many mages and clerics do so as such. On the second question, the gems may appear unidentified but you can still use them. So worry not and stick them in the bench, they will work and be recognized by the system. Try however, to avoid this problem just to use as many gems as necessary (only gems that you have oils for) and not have extras, that way it wont bug out on you. But you can still use the gems in any case.
