FT Account name: MadMartigan (swordsman)
Time of bug: just before posting
Where: in the "equipped" consumable items
What: reorganized my inventory to get speed potions selected, but the mana potion equipped (I didn't think it would)
Why: Swordsman cannot use mana potions; this should not even come up IMO

Did you rotate your screen a few times? Maybe it wasn't an April Fool's joke after all!

Annoying but at least you can't "use" is ... so yea, BUG, should not show. I am use to seeing them since it's been an occurrence since I started the game. Never though of it as a bug.

I never thought it was a bug either. I figured it was supposed to happen. It could be very confusing to new players, though😬

ehhh... as bugs go, it's nowhere near gamebreaking or bad
the swordsman cannot use it
still though - you shouldn't be able to "equip" something you can't use
like spells etc.

EDIT: in an ironic twist, it turns out that long ago when I started (and abandoned) this quest, the one and only altar I did complete was the one that required the mana potions, and I bought them today for nothing :lol:

Since you brought it up, I have to agree, it is a BUG.

Only a fairy or mage can equip "spells" only they can use mana.
My knight has carried "spells", they were never equipped.

So here's the opposite side of the coin.

Can a mage equip "speed potions" that they can't use.
Be careful with the "equipped" limit. Might have to remove a few spells to find out.

Is this the same thing if a mage or archer had speed potions they couldn't use as non-melee characters? I always figured any kind of consumable "potion" would show there if you had it in the top spots in your bag, and if you thought that would help you somehow... well, people are allowed to make mistakes!
