Artifact Weapon Socketing

Support Bug Report

I’ve tried socketing some relics I got in a dungeon the other day in my Legion artifact weapons and I keep receiving a UI error when I try:

Note: this happens on all 3 of the artifact weapons my paladin has when I shift+right click.

I also am having the exact same issue with my artifact weapons.

Same. I am running the Broken Isles with one of my Hunters to get TitanStrike leveled up as it’s better than most of the weapons I’ll get in BfA, but that only works if I can add the upgrades…which I can’t atm due to the Lua Errors.

Similar issue, but slightly different error:

Just a quick update, continued messing around. Was able to socket if I equipped the items.

This is the current workaround. Have the item equipped, and if you happen to have the Underlight Angler also, unequip that if you have it on. It is certainly still not working correctly but you can proceed at least doing this.
