Can't equip MOAD weapon after Proxy

[boroie]

I proxied a toon successfully. The old toon got all of the pre-LL accomplishments. This was 24 hours ago and obviously on a different server, though the behaviour was consistent from the start. 
When I attempt to equip a MOAD bastard sword, I get a "You do not have the necessary accomplishment to use that" message in the combat log. 
The weapon equips on the character model. 
"!list ab" shows as being unarmed. 
The inventory page shows the weapon as not equipped. 






Any ideas what is wrong? Is it a vagary of the proxy process?
I do not have MOAD as a LL tag. I could go grab that and probably fix the issue but this seems weird enough to report. 
Also I'm a little concerned that the other tags did not correctly apply (eg the 5% completion bonus)
Edit: this character does have Exotic weapon prof btw.

Pre LL tag and LL tag are 2 different things for MOAD. To use the weapons you need the LL tag. You can do it with immortal help.

I knew they were different tags, but I was not aware the weapons were tagged to the LL tag only. Checking my other toons who can use MOAD weapons I see they have the LL tag too but the character in question here does not. It looks like doing the tag pre-immo gives you both the pre-LL and LL tag and the proxy process obviously does not transfer LL tags to the recipient. If thats the case then this is solved, but the wording could maybe be changed on the weapons to indicate that. Not many would revisit moad as immo I would say considering the entry requirements (seals, corpse).

The proxy process does not grant the LL tag, which is unfortunate. Only pre-LL tags are merged. LL tags are unaffected, so you'll need to re-do any of those L40 bosses that you wish to use gear for, since the character now lacks the LL tags.

It's too bad that this is the case, but at least MoaD is a bit faster than Lolth (quicker key acquisition and much shorter run overall, especially without needing to bother with killcount, whereas Lolth requires much more effort in comparison).

Maybe you'd have some luck asking a DM to have the LL tag given to the character, by pointing them to the allowance Funky provided in the past for this poster, but since that would probably require getting approval first and waiting for both a response and catching a DM online, it would likely be faster to just go back and kill MoaD again. Ask for a sacrifice if you don't have any spare, and me or someone else can probably donate one to save you some time there.

Thanks for the insight and pointing to the old thread. It's not really that big of a deal for me, I was just worried something had gone wrong with the proxy process. I was unaware that the LL tag was required to use the weapons. As you say its trivial enough to pick up if I can be bothered doing so.
