**Platform, device version and operating system:** Android **Screenshot or image:** ![Screenshot_20201124-132439](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/5/25f2ba4852379bf4e364bfed2c52ce5a487c9cda.jpeg) After killing 2 enemies, souls gained is 3/60. Sacrificial Priest is the one that has Necromancy. **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** In Arena, using a troop that has necromany trait unlocked in my collection, my souls count show up 0/60 instead of 0/40 - just like trait would be active, even though all troops are traitless. Same goes with Mercenary trait and gold → 0/125 instead of 0/100. Not sure, if the bonuses apply during battle or after battle, as I dont bother to check the exact numbers on souls/gold gained. ~~Might be a visual bug only.~~ **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Always, when troop has a trait that inceases number of souls/gold gained from battle. **Steps to make it happen again** Go play Arena, pick a troop that has Merchant/Necromancy trait unlocked in your collection. ---

Update. Got an example of the bug. And it’s not only visual, but these bonuses apply to rescources gained. ---

I’ve noticed this before too. I haven’t checked the mana bonus skills, but the two you mentioned have definitely applied before. Wonder if the “halve enemy gem mastery” also applies… ---

A bug in favor of the player. The over/under on the fix 2 days. Any takers? ---

Dang. I noticed the Merchant traits a long while ago, but hoped no one would report a player-favorable bug 😢 I mean, maybe it’s important to report all bugs, and maybe it’s not player favorable if it potentially breaks other things or makes Bonnie Rose/Apothecary harder to defeat when they’re your opponent, but… ---

This has been around since 2017 at least. I remember seeing this when I was playing arena before I got Dawnbringer but I never bothered reporting it. A couple of extra souls or a few extra gold isn’t going to help people that much. ---

> [@Magnusimus](#): > > I mean, maybe it’s important to report all bugs, and maybe it’s not player favorable For me, a bug is a bug, doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad for players. Either it works “as intended”, but it would be wierd, or it should be patched. I only hope that such low impact bug will be given a lower priority than weapon affix change in development backlog. Ofc, it might be “working as intended”, but it would be best if @Saltypatra or @Kafka would take a peek on it. > [@Maxx](#): > > A couple of extra souls or a few extra gold isn’t going to help people that much. Agreed.
