Currently various Feasts offer you a food buff (which I absolutely LOVE). However, if you eat one of these feasts the status effect overwrites the “Strength Weapon Damage +15%” from the “Aspect of the Wolf” helm. This seems to happen on the player character as well as thralls. The only way to get the helm’s bonus back is to re-equip it, except re-equipping any armor pieces negates any active food buffs (which in itself seems like another bug, more on this later).
Additionally, the helm buff is showing up as “Strength Damage +15%” instead of listed as “Great Wolf’s Strength” implying that it is incorrectly coded as a food buff. In the stats tab it is also categorized under “damage from items” just like a food buff.
No food buff or wolf helm and the “damage from items” shows zero.
Helm is equipped after eating a feast (sated). The food buff is missing but the helm buff is showing and only +1 in “damage from items.”
Took the wolf helm off and reapplied food buff (+1 in “damage from items”).
Various interactions
The Grey Lotus potion is not affected by the food buff or the wolf helm, so Grey Lotus plus food buff or helm can be active simultaneously, but not all three.
As mentioned above, if you have an active food buff from any of the feasts (on your thrall), removing or replacing any armor piece (helm, chest, gloves, pants or boots) also removes the food buff. This does not occur on the player character, only a thrall.
Side note: All buffs are being listed twice under the status effects section, although I believe that is just a graphical bug, the buffs themselves are not duplicated (as far as I can tell).
@Community please let me know if you need further detail or would prefer this bug report be made via Zendesk.
This is the best update by far Funcom, I look forward to all sorts of new ages and the chapters within, keep 'em coming!
