Bug: Helm's Gauntlets and Junction (in General)

Under advice from multiple players in the chatroom I decided to rebuild my 23k-ish PR character based around what items I had. The main focus of the strategy was to transfer the effects of a pair of Helm's Gauntlets (+11) to a Jigorokano Familiar (lv17k), hopefully boosting it's ST and Unarmed Combat skill substantially (allowing for consistently high damage). However, the Jigorokano Familiar, whilst getting an increase in ST, appears to not receive any boost in UC (damage increases somewhat, but the increase is so slight it's probably just the ST increase). When fighting character 'Adam' (someone in my score range): With HGs equipped: Kano-san beat im not here [797] Kano-san crunched im not here [746] With HGs unequipped: Kano-san crunched im not here [599] Kano-san fractured im not here [486] With my first minion just trained in ST, DX and UC instead of trying to use the familiar, I can get consistent hits in the thousands, so I'm sure this isn't just UC having limited effect (my familiars ST and DX far surpass that of my original UC minion). http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5058/cbcharsy2.png - character main page (so you can check my numbers aren't just stupid) Sorry if I have missed any important data. Thanks novice for patiently helping with working out where the problem lies (and making me fall into the problem in the first place).

good job dev

I noticed that myself when trying to Junction HGs to my JKF on my NCB. so i just ended up using my Tulka's. Remember, at ~2.9m nw, Tulka's will be at +18, Helm's will be at +13 (7.5% more ST boost, 57.7% more efficient :)

But having a pair of HG Junctioned to the JKF will make it useful as an evasion wall and increase the damage by massive amounts, this needs a fix.

Anyone else have a junctioned JKF that can test this? I'm looking at you Bast...

"But having a pair of HG Junctioned to the JKF will make it useful as an evasion wall and increase the damage by massive amounts, this needs a fix."

no doubt, but for the meantime, the TGs aught to do the job.

Ah ha ha, I'm not actually at a level where I can afford to get another far from cheap item. The HGs were donated to me for use with a UC minion, so it would be unsporting to sell them - and I couldn't muster the funds to get a pair of TGs otherwise.
