Ok I suspected some previous version this was occurring (even stated on a krong thread months ago, uploaded my save file and all, but no return from the devs). This is what's been happening to me: a pleased krong'ed item simply starts to show up some random debuffs a day later or some quit/save-load times. And no, I haven't used the anvil after the 1st screen (the left one), I simply decided to snapshot the weird negative progression of my item (took snapshots from other items as well, but this was the only item which the bug occurred in my current playthrough). Has this happened to anyone?? Also, how can I prevent my achievements progression from resetting?? Like, "kill 1000 digglers" or "eat 100 diggle eggs", they are always getting reset on me!!!! Should I get them all in a single playthrough? Because it's unlikely I'm ever achieving those, yesterday I had like 200 diggle kills (which got reset before I'll tell ya), today it shows 0/1000. And that's been happening since a few patches back (mac steam version). What is wrong with it?
oooh maybe that's what's been happening... I thought only Dredmor had item corruption... which monsters do corrupt items as well? been fighting just regular monsters throughout the dungeon.. a couple of bosses here and there, but haven't noticed any corruption stats on them. maybe I just missed them... thanks for the heads up!
Lord Dred does, but so do the following: Magic Golem (floor 5, 20% on hit) Magic Dragon (floor 7, 20% on hit) Entropic Elemental (floor 7, 10% on hit) Blob of Corruption (floor 10, 33% on hit) Acidic Slick (floor 14, 25% on hit) Eldritch Slick (floor 15, 50% on hit)
