Holy Ramie Cloth

[Bluewind]

Holy Ramie Cloth description mentions use of 'holy water'. Hallowed water is used for the production of Holy Ramie Cloth, as is the case for Hallowed Chestnut Lumber.

Probably would be better to rename it to 'Hallowed Ramie Cloth' with description change, to better reflect the materials required.

Well... "hallowed" means to make holy or hold as holy, so...

Thing is, there's such a thing as Holy Water and Hallowed Water.

Holy Ramie cloth is made by Hallowed Water, not Holy water, hence the confusion.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! This is indeed a bug, and we'll try to push the fix live with the next hotfix. Bit of a story to it, in fact...

So, confession time: when we name items, we don't always have the luxury of time to review the recipe in detail (they're subject to change during development anyway). Therefore, when Fern saw "聖麻布" (holy ramie cloth), he assumed that Oda-san was simply slapping "holy" (聖) on ramie cloth, similar to how "holy" is applied to some other items. Turns out, however, that Oda-san chose to omit "祝" from "祝聖" (hallowed) since he wanted to keep the item name three characters (聖麻布) instead of making it four (祝聖麻布). An understandable omission for aesthetic purposes, but as a result, Fern missed the connection between hallowed water and the item, and here we are.

Game development can be a rather messy business sometimes, to say the least.
