## From the replies

**jarette:** It's bugged. It's already added but doesn't work correctly.

**_la_muerte_:** KZ, please fix the visual bug on drukas weapon. the main weapon is +11 and the offhand is +7. Now, what you see is not the purple glow of +11 main hand, but the +7 orange glow of offhand.  Its like on Forb Kharti on mainhand and Datu rhomp in off. what you will see is that the forb on mainhand becomes a datu khrati.
