My Lich character Badziew (ID==10949) has two Death Anchors instead of one.

I am not sure when exactly he got the second anchor, he had it for some time (perhaps even in previous Breath, I cannot recall) but I always forgot to report the bug.

HTML source of the Phylactery Skill's form is not very helpful (whilespace added manually, for clarity):

Code: Select all

<form name="skilluse" action="clash.php" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="op" value="respawn">
    <input type="hidden" name="skill" value="Phylactery">
    <select name="phylactery_id">
        <option value="" selected="">None</option>
        <option value="3032">Death Anchor</option>
        <option value="3033">Death Anchor</option>
        <option value="1917">Library 3, 12 Purgatorio</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Use Phylactery ( AP)">
</form>

As you can see, UI gives no hint where the second anchor could come from.

I have a few wild theories but no proofs.

some kind of bug in Phylactery Skill code that fails to delete the used anchor
some kind of bug in character reset code that does not purge death anchors or even does not purge all phylacteries
that character has been a Lich in B4 too, so maybe it is some kind of bug in code importing a B4 character into B5

Other than that, I have no idea what is the cause. I think that the only thing I can do to help investigating this is to wait until the next death and check if the form will have identical or different option IDs.

And yes, I deliberately did not censor the name of the third option. It is a normal Phylactery that I created manually and I plan to use right now - and and I invite everyone to come there and help me die to investigate this bug

The character has died, and this time the anchors have different, higher IDs:

Code: Select all

<form name="skilluse" action="clash.php" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="op" value="respawn">
    <input type="hidden" name="skill" value="Phylactery">
    <select name="phylactery_id">
        <option value="" selected="">None</option>
        <option value="3083">Death Anchor</option>
        <option value="3084">Death Anchor</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Use Phylactery ( AP)">
</form>

I think this narrows the location of the bug a bit - the IDs have changed so the second anchor is probably not a relic of a bad character reset etc but is recreated every time I die.

I couldn't reproduce this on devserver, even with your character.

Correction, I was able to reproduce it, it's a function of Death Mastery.

There's a pending fix for this for the next patch.
