Bugs and issues in 4.1.1

[Sky]

i'm sorry if this isn't very exact, but i noticed the bug after the fact.
i sold a cursed weapon and it was a axe of westernesse, with + to DEX, STR, CON.
i then bought a ring of DEX and "you learned the rune of DEX".

surely i should have learned this rune earlier? when i inspect the weapon, i can clearly see the bonuses, plus i can see them on my stats.

the weapon still had some curses not known when i sold it.

You learn bonuses on a weapon if you wield it, but not otherwise.

well, i *did* wield it. that's how i discovered the curses.

And when you sell/donate an item to the shop, don't you discover its runes, too? I thought it worked that way in the new system.

OK - is it possible you learn the rune of sustain DEX from the ring? Otherwise it looks like a bug.

[Sky]

my impression with this case was that the game was trying to discover a curse which blocked me from discovering anything else.

Latest builds have the new effective speed display option, and hopefully less contradictions between randart curses and other properties.

Plan is to put 4.1.2 out in a couple of weeks, so any bug reports appreciated.

i wore a ring <+5> and learned the rune of digging, but still had a ring <+5> {??} despite it being not cursed.

*could be*, i was not paying enough attention.

Still playing the previous build, I have an amulet of wisdom <+2> {??}, when I wear it and try to attack I get the "too afraid" message but the curse doesnt show up.

Edit: But the shopkeeper smells a rat and refuses to buy it!

Just found a "Bronze Ring +4", no indication there's a rune to discover. When I wield it, it now says "Bronze Ring +4 {tried}". Upon inspection it appears to be a ring of Digging, since I see it has a +4 tunneling, but I'm also getting "You do not know the full extent of this item's powers."

Ah, it's the activation, which I can use for stone to mud, and now it identifies itself at a Ring of Digging. No rune to discover, as I'd already discovered tunneling. So I think this is how it is supposed to work?

It is similar with elemental rings; previously, they would identify when the resist rune was known, now you also need to activate it.

Thanks, investigating.

I don't have a savefile, but can confirm the existence of that bug, as I encountered it myself in a recent game (also on an Amulet of Wisdom, though I can't imagine why that would matter). I happened to have a bunch of identify rune scrolls sitting around my house at the time, so I simply magical-ID'd the curse and then zapped it with remove curse.
