Rod of Recall not recharging?

[Bladyn]

Another piece of data.... Got a "stealthy pair of rough leather boots of phasing". Just used them once on level 2 of the "Dark Crypt". No saves, no level changes, nothing unusual at all. They are staying at 25/60 Power. This is still with Beta 16.

I think normal objects never recharge; only artifacts recharge themselves. You have to pay the recharge fee to one of the magic stores that does it to recharge a non-artifact.

[Bladyn]

That did not use to be the case. Anything with a "Power" rating general recharges itself. Things with "Charges" (anything other than wands?) need to be done at a Shop. I am calling the "Gold" items artifacts. The "Blue" and "Orange" ones are "Egos"?

[greycat]

Yellow = fixed artifact
Orange = random artifact
Blue = higher ego

[Bladyn]

So what is a normal "Ego"? I figured the "aqua" items were just plain old enchanted.

[greycat]

The greenish ones are the plain ego (enchanted) items. Like weapons of massacre, armor of fire resistance, slimy robes, etc.

I've had the same problem with a Rogue - left Trollshaws, rod never recharged. Nothing in stdout of note.

Perhaps the Rod shouldn't have charges at all? It should just be an infinitely activateable item? The charges don't actually do anything.

[Bladyn]

I think it is to prevent it from being used to just scum for loot, but even then the 1000 turns goes by pretty quickly. I think making the RoR have no charges would be the easiest answer. Not having a portal which takes you back down to where you Recalled out of is the biggest disinsentive to loot-scumming IMHO.

Also, I think there should always be a non RoR way to get out of any level. My Dwarven Fighter just capped the Tempest and is slowly freezing to death looking remorsefully at his dead RoR. Even if it were a long and annoying path to get out I would sure like to have some option for escape. :^/

My Rod suddenly charged again. Possibly something to do with finding the glowing phial...

I'm playing beta18
Rod of recall is not recharging.
Summertide phial is recharging as normal BUT I have two of them. Found one in the trollmire and the other in Kor'Pul. Thought dup artifacts was one of the things fixed in beta 18?
If it makes a difference, my $HOME/t-engine directory started with beta16, played a few characters, then b17 for 1 or 2 more, and now playing my 2nd b18 character.

Got this bug too. Never happened to me before(at least not that I noticed)

[effable]

I'm having the same problem with my Rod of Recall under Beta 18. I'm not sure if it never recharged (I've been playing a mage with intrinsic recall, and usually prefer that), but I definitely used it once at the bottom of the Sandworm Lair and haven't seen it recharge in the dozen levels I've made since. I know that by design it doesn't show up as rechargeable in the stores that offer that service, either; normally that might be irrelevant, but as it stands it leaves most characters high and dry.

As far as I can tell nothing unusual happened immediately before/after using the rod. I may well have saved the game, but at this point I can't be certain.

[pilgrimboy]

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one. I'm playing beta 18, and my rod of recall will not recharge. What happened with me was that I used it and died before teleporting.

[Teber2]

just for the record. the not recharging bug for the ROR occurred yesterday with me when playing a cornac archmage. no recharging after saving, quitting and restarting the game. was playing beta 18. i do hope the bug has been fixed in 19...

[Grey]

This problem is persisting in b19. I'm not sure why, certainly doesn't seem to be anything to do with saving and loading for me. I've used the rod a couple of times, but as I went to Angolwen to get the Tempest quest I thought I'd check and... rod is 0/1. Guess Derth will have to stay plagued by lag...
