Is there a way to tell whether a weapon has perfect forging if the description has been altered to take out "perfect"?

"At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder, 'What would Jimmy Buffett do?'"

And comparing the avd to a plain store/pawnshop one.

>> A Bard's loresong will tell which level of crafted weapon it is

It appears this feature may have been broken with some of the recent updates. The warsword in the below is definitely a perfect warsword and was altered some time ago to remove the 'perfect' text. I believe in the past the loresong would reveal a 'significant' increased effectiveness in combat.

> You glance down to see an imposing eonake warsword in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.

Song 1
As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the eonake warsword in your hand, and you learn something about it...

The first thing that strikes you about the warsword is the weight, which is about 5 pounds. In your best estimation, it's worth about 3,300,000 silvers. You can also tell that the eonake warsword is predominantly crafted of eonake.

Though you don't yet have a full understanding of the warsword's qualities, you get the impression it would be a basic project (181 difficulty) for an adventurer to modify.
Roundtime: 15 sec.


Song 2
As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the eonake warsword in your hand, and you learn something about it...

You sense a faint aura of magic surrounding the warsword. You sense that this is some type of holy item. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the warsword is as some type of weapon. It has been forged by a member of the Artisan's Guild.
Roundtime: 15 sec.


Song 3
As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the eonake warsword in your hand...

It has a bonus of +35 from a normal warsword, and the way it vibrates in tune with your voice tells you that it requires skill in edged weapons to use effectively. The warsword has no recognizable increased effectiveness in combat.

>> You tremble and can barely hold onto the mithril greataxe. You estimate it must be worth over a hundred million silvers!

I went ahead and bugged the item in game.

<Looking a different weapon it seems to work so possibly the issue is with the first item I chose to sing to.>

I would say it's def a problem with the item. Possibly the way it was enchanted interfered with the messaging or properties.

No one that gets their hands on an eonake slab is going to trust someone that isn't a Master of the weapon type they want to work with it. Since any weapon forged by a Master should be giving at least the "lightly increased effectiveness in combat." message from a loresong, something's happened to mess up at least the messaging, if not the properties, somewhere along the way.

I'd put in an ASSIST as well as a BUG to make sure it's just the messaging. Prolly won't be able to tell unless it's been REGISTERed every time it's been worked on, though

This has me thinking I should REGISTER weapons I make before I put them in my shop to ensure the buyers have a record at the starting point in case they neglect to REGISTER.
