PoM Combine: Vambraces of Distraction
 

Hello!

First time I'm reporting a bug, hopefully it's gonna be done correctly.

I'm a strong believer that the Vambraces of Distraction combine on P99 is wrong.
On P99, you need the following to get the item.

It is indeed a working combine, having done it on my Cleric and my Shaman.

I was able to find some informations that says otherwise.

Those 2 images come from the same website, but I do believe that information is right.

It is known that only the Mask of Melodies is the ONLY 1-throne combine that returns Funny Money in order to make a Gift Box to make the armor class in PoM
The Vambraces of Distraction combine on P99 works to make Funny Money as a 2nd 1-throne combine and once again I do believe it is wrong.

Here is someone mentioning they finally got a BLACK THRONE in order to make the Vambraces of Distraction. Also being mentioned that they were probably droppable.

Allakhazam mentions that the combine done on P99 is actually correct.

but also contradicting itself in some other places like this one.

Lastly I find it kinda interesting/funny that all the Armor of Distraction Set is 2 throne combine beside the Arms, even tho making it sense wasnt always Sony strenght.

Im sure there's more digging to be done regarding a possible change, but I think I'm on the right path. Hopefully one of those bugs digger will be able to find more data.

P.S. If you wanna make a different 1-Throne combine other than the Mask of Melodies, it works for now.

fwiw takp has it as 2 thrones and if that was wrong, tons of people who lived in pom back on eqmac would have made it known by now

a black crown x 1
a black knight x 1
a black throne x 1
a white throne x 1
