Okay, so I've talked to Guides and Gm's and they've referred me to EqLive, where I get dick all help, so I'm going to ask you folks.

For a time now several weapons in the game have shown their inventory items to be cloth beads. Weapons that do that are, Windblades - Bile Drenched Main Gauche and a few others I cant remember.

Can someone tell me WTF is going and how to fix it.
Also, when I have luclin graphics turned on lots of armor pieces dont show up, and again EQLive hasnt helped.

Cheers for any help you can give, preferably without telling me to fuck off.

Most likely your graphic files are older, or not updating correctly, because OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS of those image file problems were fixed over a month ago... Give it a wipe and a clean install and you should be ok. You might also want to try going to Advanced on the updater and click on the optional downloads for PoP, Luclin and Velious.

something to do with custom UI's and the .TGA files. if you use a custom UI that uses .TGA files delete them..

as a test do a loadskin/default and see if it fixes the problem

Yeah, before you uninstall EQ, delete all of the .tga files in your EQ directory. It's probably just old or corrupted cache files.

I have the same thing. Doesn't bother me though.

Actually, if you're using a mod wtih a custom animations file that hasn't been patched in awhile, that's the source of your cloth beads problem. The references to dragitem23.tga, dragitem24.tga, and dragitem25.tga were added into EQUI_Animations.xml in a patch, but since EQ runs just fine if your custom animations file doesn't have those entries, most people never fixed it.

Follow this link for information on how to fix it.

As for Luclin armor not showing up, nfc.
