Animate Guardian weapon deleted.

I recently summoned my animate guardian. It is level 22 and says it can wear items requiring up to level 100.

One of my items was bloodseeker unique claws. It was corrupted with white sockets. My animate guardian consumed the weapon but is not wearing it.

I am 99% sure it is not wearing it. It looks like he is holding an axe and the picture on the wiki looks different.

Also the weapon he is using appears to applying flammability on hit, which is the weapon I tested before summoning him on a lower level guardian gem I deleted. This could just be a coincidence, because I bought the guardian on the trader and someone might have equipped it with the flammability curse weapon before I summoned him. I just thought it was odd that he is wearing it.

All of my other items appear to have worked on him because they look like the items I used.

My other items that actually did work correctly when summoninging include:

Windscream boots corrupted with max life and enchanted with life gain when hit.

Replica victarios charity shield.

Gruthkulls pelt body armour.

Gravebind gloves corrupted with enfeeble on hit.

crown of the tyrant corrupted with white socket.


I took a couple screenshots, but I don't know how to upload. If he is applying flammability on hit and it looks like an axe, then it is probably the unique axe.

The only thing I could think that happened other than a glitch was, it might have replaced a offhand weapon with bloodseeker, then deleted bloodseeker when I summoned the shield. If that is how it works, it should be changed to count the newest items summoned on him.

If that is what happened, then I sure as hell hope he gets his own inventory tab in path of exile 2 to stop this from happening. Equipping would be so much easier.

I recommend everyone kill there animate guardian before summoning a new one if you bought it on the trader, just in case that is a problem.

I got lucky and found a pair for 30 chaos.

I summoned bloodseeker again on the animate guardian.

It did remove the other weapon, but now I can not see any weapon on him.

It looks like he has gravebind gloves on, but no weapon.

It should be an obvious weapon that stands out.

Maybe it is a visual bug where bloodseeker does not appear on animate guardian.

Maybe there is a visual glitch where bloodseeker will not appear while wearing gravebind.

Or maybe the bloodseeker weapon is not working at all on animate guardian.

I really wish my Animate guardian has an inventory so I could know what happened.

I don't want to waste money buying a third bloodseeker.

Here is a link to what bloodseeker looks like on wiki. https://www.poewiki.net/images/1/14/Bloodseeker3D.png

That claw is pretty obvious in the picture. I see no claw on my animate guardian, just white gloves.

I would like some kind of response from GGG if this is a known bug and if it is just a visual bug or the claws do not actually work.

That will most likely not happend, since they really don't do that so much in cases like this.

Ok I just tested the animate guardian in battle.

His attacks are making a Clinking noise and he seems to be attacking faster than before. That is a good sign, because that is expected from the weapon I summoned vs the axe that causes flammability he appeared to be using before.

I suspect this is a visual bug of some sort.

Maybe animate guardian was not coded to display bloodseeker's visual looks. Or maybe one or more of the other items cause a visual bug that makes bloodseeker not display on any character or entity at all.

I am speculating here, but it does appear to be working. I think I remember my claw build I used before making a clinking noise all well. I can't be 100% sure though.

I know I am repeating myself here, but an inventory screen would make all these problems go away. It is sad that this technology is worse than diablo 2 mercenary.
