lore on starter instruments

Hmm. Is that the line that normally says what category of instrument they are? I imagine this is my fault from when I built them, but I don’t know how to specify that (ie what field or bit it’s pulled from).

That is the line that normally would say how much longer the item has until it's going to crumble. "You determine that a novice flute will burst into flames in 5 days." would be more normal, I think. First Bard I've ever played, but I think something to do with the crumble timer on starter instruments from sanctum is pulling in weird, and not always wrong in the same way lol.

You examine a yew pennywhistle closely.
You dip into your knowledge of instruments.
Object 'instrument pennywhistle wind yew' is type weapon, material yew.
Extra flags: nodrop nouncurse.
Weight is 8, value is 0, level is 15.

You have a feeling only a bard can use it.
You determine that a yew pennywhistle will crumble in about five days.
Rumor has it you can find it in Limbo.

All keep in mind this is with not mastered lore. Not sure if that matters

Hmm. I think this is a weird interaction because any instrument without a rare flag would be generated with a crumble timer by the build command.

If you get a chance can you test this on a nonrare purchasable weapon from elsewhere? If you can’t get to it, I’ll do it when I have a free moment.

It’s also very strange that the message is different every time due to the variations in lore outputs, even though bard treats instruments specially and should always give a perfect read. I’m thinking this is definitely more bug than typo.

Moved to bugs.
There were multiple issues here beyond what was posted. This should be fixed shortly.
