#Prism's static allocation changes when swapping out pacts.

Not sure if this is supposed to work this way, but I thought my understanding of the prisms is that their allocation of virtue points in each virtue is static and unchanging which is why we switch prisms. I noticed that when switching out Wyld Sirin and Wyld Oscelda my prisms values were changing. Same prism, different allocations with different pact. Note the two picutures of the same prism. Is this a bug? Noticed it this morning. Solo Play.

The prism only controls what happens with the virtue points you get from your level (the same as the previous '+', '-' did). The points from Pact Arts, Talismans and Quest choices aren't redistributed by the prism.

I guess what Im asking is we hover over our prisms to choose which allocation we want to use. Its a static allocation regardless of how points are spread. That allocation of the prism shouldnt change regardless of whats going on in the build. So is it a bug that the allocations change or are the numbers in the prism supposed to change which is going to cofuse people about the prisms.

There is a bug that makes it so swapping pacts will not update the virtue stats from the Pact until you leave the Arsenal and enter it again.

Considering you are missing 6 stats on each virtue. We can get 3 stats for each virtue from the pacts, and we get 3 of each virtue from the special amulett. It could be possible that the Pact bug i mentioned also affects the amulett stats. But i havent checked it myself. And can't rn. So if anyone can verify it i would be grateful.

You realize that inside your pact upgrade you have the ability to spec into 3 different points that will raise a Virtue by 1, 3, 6? Picture 1 shows 10 Courage, 8 Spirit, 24 Grace, Picture 2 shows 16 Courage, 14 Spirit, 30 Grace. They're all exactly 6 higher than previously.

This tells me in your first Pact you have no Virtue upgrades picked and your second Pact you have all the Virtue upgrades picked.

Prisms do not allocate points outside of Mastery Rank. Prisms will not effect points obtained from:
Talismans
Pact Virtue upgrades (Mora's Pride, Iridis' Favor, Saphene's Gift)
Fable choices
Virtue Potions
Echo Stones (the tree stumps you play music at)

That I understand but why do the numbers on the prism change, isnt that supposed to be a static alloction

#

or will the prisms reflect whats going on in the build regardless,

#

@hardy lance you are correct, a friend recreated the visual bug, he left and went back in Arsenal and stats went back to what prism is supposed to be

#

Once you swap, you have to leave, and go back in for the numbers to go back to static allocation

#

@hardy lance I think you are on to it thanks!

#

@onyx obsidian I appreciate the help but both trees are maxed, I left and went back in and numbers returned to normal, its a visual bug of some sort,

Glad i could help.

First few times i experienced it i thought i had to respec my Pact. Until a friend mentioned that leaving and returning fixed the visual bug on the offhand Rune not showing in the overview menu of the Arsenal. Only then dis i try the leaving and returning to see if the virtues bug is the same
