Apparel re-refuse bugged?

[JakeCastillo]

Port Royal server.

It seems that the fork apparel is bugged, it's currently fused with a gemmed crescent sword, but when we tried to re-fuse it with an eva sword, or even a newbie knife here, it says that we can't (since there it is gemmed) and it asks us to plier the gems first. Is this intended? I'm also wondering if the same problem happens with other apparels or is it just "the fork".

the system message says "Apparel has gems. Please plier the gems!"
below are the images.

It happens with more apparels, not only the fork, so it might be intended

The system does not allow to fuse over another item that already has gems inside.

Is there a particular reason to why we cannot just override whatever is currently in an apparel? How does that restriction of pliering the apparel first contribute to the game experience? I think that this feature doesn't make much sense and it would harm nobody to get rid of it. If a player wants to fuse on top of a gemmed apparel and loose the gems, it's their decision.

this was never the case in tortuga, you can always fuse an apparel fused equipment over another apparel, and in case it has gems you want to transfer along with the equipment, you have fusion catalyst to do that. Heck it's even on PKO's guide itself, so what gives?

No. He has Gem inside the Receiver item.
