Bartering Items Don't Yield Aspects

To be fair you did seem to completely misunderstand their post. They were talking about a post you linked where someone is arguably making a similar mistake with the Clandestine aspect (having a 2H or Amulet without realising it) then you commented that they were wrong because Disobedience is Defensive so can’t be on weapons.

FWIW, it’s not at all obvious with some of the small art pictures on items what the hell type of item it is. I think there are some amulets that look more like circlet type helmets.

To support you somewhat, I was sure I had a similar problem last season with an item I bought from the Merc vendor. That was further complicated by it being an Asepct with a level-scaling number (maybe Juggernaut? Or the Fortify one?). At the time I was still sure something didn’t work right and I believe I even snapped it on video (PS5). Then I saw elsewhere that the Aspects & codex were confusing a lot of people so figured it was probably that and didn’t think about it until just now.

But at the time I was sure it didn’t work correctly, so I sympathise and don’t discount the possibility just because it usually works. But unless you record video it’s hard to be certain you didn’t just miss some detail that would explain it. And it would be a very odd bug.

They have improved the Codex since but it’s still not immediately obvious from items, some are easier than others. Adding a rank to the items would be good, but there is a lot of crap in item descriptions already especially with some aspects. Which are kinda annoying on controller having to scroll (which was randomly not working this season).
