✓ Certain Arrows Don't Give Attack Anymore

Bug type: Item / Text

Brief bug summary: Certain arrows, specifically Red Arrow for Bow and Blue Arrow for Crossbow, had their attack boost removed in a previous patch, but the descriptions for both still state that they give an attack boost.

More details:

In KMS's v1.2.346 patch, Nexon made the following change to certain types of Arrows, based on Orange Mushroom's patch notes:
Fixed an issue where certain bow arrows, crossbow arrows, stars, and bullets’ attack boosts did not match their descriptions, or the attack boosts were omitted from the descriptions.

- Strong Bow Arrow
- Sharp Bow Arrow
- Titanium Bow Arrow
- Crossbow Sharp Arrow
- Crossbow Titanium Arrow
- Blaze Capsule
- Glace Capsule

In the same update, they removed the +4 attack given by Red Arrow for Bow and Blue Arrow for Crossbow.

Both of these changes also hit GMS in the v.227 update here:
Fixed the issue where the following items’ ATT increase amount did not match the description or the ATT increase description was missing

However, the description for Red Arrow for Bow and Blue Arrow for Crossbow was not updated to reflect the removal of the attack boost.

I recorded a video to show it, using a Quality Arrow for Bow (+3 attack), a regular Arrow for Bow (+0 attack), and a Red Arrow for Bow (+0 attack, but the description still says +4 attack)



The best solution would be to remove the "Attack + 4" from the description for both Red Arrow for Bow and Blue Arrow for Crossbow.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Obtain Red Arrow for Bow or Blue Arrow for Crossbow on a character that uses either of those weapons.
2. Turn off any Soul Arrow-type skills. Notice that there is no attack boost given by the arrows.

Character name: GreenGales

Character level: 264

Character job: Wind Archer

World name: Bera (applies to archers that use Bows and Crossbows though)

Date and time of the incident: March 20, 2022 at 5:00 PM EST (but this issue has existed since the v.227 update)

    Fixed as of the latest maintenance, the descriptions for Red Arrow for Bow and Blue Arrow for Crossbow were updated to remove mention of a +4 Attack bonus.

    (Now if only they'd fix my other bug reports / suggestions as fast as this one)
