So I have been running a lovely video of a playthrough of Islands of the Caliph on the store page for a couple days. In the video, the streamer encounters a hammer in the jungle ruins on the third island.
He is perplexed by the fact that his own hammer, which is graded "fair" has better stats than the supposedly "exceptional" hammer that he finds.
Well it was all a big mistake. That hammer was not exceptional, nor was it meant to be. the problem was that the hammer was added manually to the game level, and I simply entered the wrong number for one of the object variables.
The issue has been remedied in this latest, small update to the game. The person responsible was fired (and then immediately re-hired).
