Buying Fire/Ice staff for a henchman

When I buy a fire/ice staff for my henchman (torchbearer/bard mostly), the money is deducted but the staff doesn't show up.  Same if you have a regular champion buy it and then try to trade it to the henchman, it disappears.  

Its a pretty big pain, those things are pricey and the squishy henchman really need a good early ranged option.

Sounds like the same issue they had with mounts?

Ranged weapons and cloaks and some say mounts, too, but I have always been able to buy mounts for henchmen.

Mounts was a few patches ago, when they were just introduced.  It's been fixed for a while now

There are many problems that have been reported regularly without getting fixed, because the development team made it clear they were working on game mechanics and the UI.  We were told that many of the bugfixes would show up in the beta 5 cycle, so I expect they will be repaired soon.

 

I'm looking forward to their nabbing that guy who keeps shooting ranged weapons from off the left side of the screen occasionally when my champions do.  They really don't want the help, however well meaning it is.

I've fixed ranged weapons and cloaks for Henchmen.  Wasn't in time for Beta5 though.  It will be in 5a.
