Ornate tags removed from claymore, certain godking weapons..why not wand of second life?

[acctlc]

Has anyone noticed the ornate tags have been removed from the Claymore rewards and some of the Godking weapons.  But alas my Wand of Second life still says it isn't adornable.  This doesn't seem quite fair to me..why should a healer get to adorn theirs and not me?  Does anyone know if this is a bug or intended or what!?!

Kind of curious about this myself.  Some of the new collection items are better than the old claymore items, so i can understand dropping the ornate tag and allowing adornments, but i'm confused on why they chose the items they did, yet left a few of them off.

even some of the claymore rewards are still ornate.  I know the shoulders are ornate still.

I believe it's to do with the fact switching from one handed staff to two handed staff would destroy the adornment (or something similar), and there's no way they can easily code around it, so they left it un-adornable rather than having in-game CS deal with a million petitions.

The other thing that happens is the summoned item clears the Not For Sale flag if previously set.

I can see how the 1 vs 2 hander thing would be a problem.  So let me suggest that sony just makes the thing a one hander.  I think every mage is using this thing as a one hander anyway (unless they just like the graphic of the 2hander).  Either that or make  all the godking weapons unadornable...keep it fair.d

<p>They "just" have to do it like they did to double slot items. If you adorn your 1h wand, you can't switch it back to the 2h. Would be great.</p>

Well obviously, it's not limited to items that can change form.  Because as I said above, you still can't adorn the shoulders.  They were able to "fix" the neck/wrist items to accept adornments, so I think they could with the 1h/2h items IF they wanted to.  One easy fix would be to just give people both the 1h and the 2h, can't use them at the same time any way.

More likely that they are as strong as they need to be.

It was not an oversight, nor was it because the items were too powerful. Someone above posted it is because switching the item will destroy adornments.
