Can't edit Arachnos Widow 2nd slot

This may be related to the "Free Sex [change] bug" reported elsewhere, but what is happening is also somewhat distinct. Neither sex nor gender are issues however.

I have an Arachnos Widow whose level 10 slot is uneditable past its first change. I created a non-VEAT costume and the change was fine ... but any subsequent changes fail. The costume creator takes my INF, but the change is not implemented. Thankfully, if I log out/back in, the INF is returned, but the 2nd slot is simply unalterable.

I have access to two additional costumes (with the costume slots purchased from the store), and I have had no problem modifying those.

I know that the 6th widow costume (pre-i21) is supposed to be uneditable, but I have not read anything about the 2nd one being such.

EDIT: Just adding that the Widow is male, so I have not had an opportunity to notice any transgender costume issues that other people are reporting with female characters.

I think you're right that it's connected, but that's just my hunch. I was having the same problem with my female Crab after the gender fix was supposed to be in place. My second and third slot had the issue you described. Hope they get around to fixing it soon.

After some back and forth with Support, it's been fixed. I was able to modify my original Widow costume, and then costumes 3-4 (purchased slots, not earned); I was not able to modify costume slot 2 (the 10th level Arachnos slot) and 5-7 (purchased).

Yes, I'm a costume *****.

I also noticed that if I saved a costume and then tried to reload it, I was getting a Weapon error.

Anyway ... Support had to blank out slots 2, 5, 6, and 7, and I was able to start from scratch. However, with each costume, I still had to manually "select" Widow claws -- even though I had no other option and could not change them -- or the error would continue. But it's working now.

So if you find something similar happening, first thing to do is check the weapons.

This was my finding as well. All my VEATS were affected by this problem, but my Crab Spider most of all. All slots from 1 to 4 were broken and edits refused to 'stick'.

After coming to the forum, ticketing for help, and endless frustration, I finally figured out that changing all the weapons slots to the default Arachnos model and setting the Crab Spider backpack to the standard one as well was the key despite the tailor telling me it was something in the "Head" section that was invalid.
