Probably because I do not have the "Packet Deciphering" skill?

wtf?

Any shields that don't equip, we will be trying to fix this weekend. You do not have to submit bug reports on Shields Unable to Equip. Other stuff, yes, please bug. But this one, we got

Hmm. This item in my DB has the right skill ID's assigned (Tower Shield). Wonder why it's saying "Packet Deciphering"?

Sorry but i had to ROFL when i read
"Probably because I do not have the "Packet Deciphering" skill?"

The struct must be off, see how Tower Shield is the type instead of the required skill?

[John Adams]

Actually, I thought the type was Tower Shield (the type of shield it is) and the Packet Deciphering is where the Skill would be. no?

A link of the same item in EQ2 Live:

Looks like in this case, "Packet Deciphering" is supposed to read "Tower Shield" -AND- Type is "Tower Shield". So again, the skill struct is right, we're just getting the wrong skill. Interesting.


PS: My Paladin linked this in Live, note his class is not highlighted green. Is that just because my live toon cannot yet use it (too low level)?
