Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
- I found the recently added “Black Feather Helm” from the Gargoyle boss.
- It reads “applies a moderate amount of corruption” in the data bank (autogenerated entry in the wiki)
- The tooltip says “this helm corrupts while at the same time grants high armor”
- While using it, the corruption immediately goes to 35%ish and doesn’t stack anymore.
- You can get more corruption next to an obelisk and such.
- Removing the helmet and equipping it again REDUCES the amount to ~35% corruption again / equipping it briefly gives me a “losing corruption” buff.
- This Item is just 11 armor above an epic flawless medium helmet so granted it’s a tradeoff
- My guess is the item does not work as intended, because 35% less hp and stamina is too much for such a small gain - it probably should corrupt slowly over time instead, encouring strategic healing with a dancer companion etc.
- The rate at which corruption applies when wearing the helmet is not linear either. It seems to “dampen” the rate if that makes sense.
TL;DR
“Black Feather Helm” Legendary corrupts to a set value and immediately, even reduces corruption when above that value. There is also some weird interaction with corruption sources while wearing the helmet.
