losing weapon enchantments?

    Is there anything besides the anvil of krong that can make my weapon lose enchantments?
    I lost the thaumite effect of my triple bladed sword, as well as received a bunch of seemingly random -1 resistance enchantments. I didn't notice it happen, so I'm not sure what could have caused this.

    edit: v 1.0.6

    Corruption mobs or traps. Corruption blobbies, magicky golems, magic dragons, and Lord Dredmor. They have a chance to corrupt any artifact melee weapons you use against them.

    It isn't an issue with the triple bladed sword, but I think the 'crafted item stacking' bug is still there, which means if you have, say, two clockwork axes and enchant them, and then sort them in your inventory, one of the axe's bonuses will get clobbered.

    Thanks :) all the magicky golems i've been fighting lately must have done it. I was worried that something happened to my save file or something. I never notice half of the messages in the buffer - color coding or filtering would be nice up there.

    Agreed, the message system leaves a bit to be desired at the moment. Far too easy to miss such messages!

    Fortunately, that seems to be improving in 1.07. At the very minimum, they've added damage-type symbols to the ticker, which is really helpful. :)

    Nice to see the Ticker get some love. As it is currently, it's this | | far from being worthless.

    Agreed, i couldn't figure out if it could scroll backward or not... I assume you cannot view past messages?

    True at the moment.

    I'm hoping they add the ability to scroll back in this latest patch. If not then, the Expansion will almost surely include a fleshed-out combat log. But currently, no, you cannot see anything that's scrolled off the top of the ticker, nor can you make it scroll more quickly (or slowly). In fact, it has no options attached to it whatsoever, which is a shame. It's mostly there for the amusing, random comments that pop up in it when you're not actually fighting anything (and checking out the latest bizarre room name). "You hear the sounds of a cash register."

    Which, incidentally, is a reference to NetHack, where you'd get that message to indicate the presence of a shop.

    I should have figured it wasn't just a random phrase they threw into the combat log... although some of them are. Can't remember the exact wording but do sometimes get stuff like "You suddenly feel nervous for no discernible reason" or "You have a sudden craving for cheese" popping up in there.

    Those are not direct reference to Nethack though they have its flavor. In Nethack you could get " You feel a wrenchin sensation" or " You feel sad for a moment, then it passes" ( I hate the latter one ! )

    Yeah really liked the cash register thing when i first saw it. It's things like that that make me laugh and fall in love with the game again and again :)

    "you hear the sounds of a cash register" are one of the many indicators on nethack that there is a shop on that dlvl
    when you are hallucinating it will say "you hear neiman and marcus arguing". lol

    Thought you were talking about dredmor for a second there so I corrected that it means nothing, which I had now removed. I originally thought it meant there was a shop nearby in dredmor.
