It’s not a bug. The items you get from the gold pig rolls are named differently from the patterns you will get that have the same graphic. You can tell by what the shadows look like if it’s the same weapon. When you want to buy a pattern it tells you how much better it is than the weapon you have. However, the number it shows you like +8 for instance is only if you get 3 stars. So if you craft the pattern and only get 1 or 2 stars, the damage on the weapon or health on the off hand will be the same or less than what you already have. The exception to this is when the pattern says the weapon at 3 stars will be something like +40 from what you have currently. In that case, it would be most likely an upgrade at 1 and 2 stars even though it would be smaller like +10 and +22 or whatever.
Keep in mind that unless it’s a set item, the items from the pig are also 1 to 3 stars. So if the crystal sword had been only 1 star, the pattern sword would have been much better at 3 stars. In your case, it sounds like the sword was 2 stars so the 3 star crafted would have been barely better. Yet, you didn’t get 3 stars so it wasn’t better at all.
I only buy patterns personally if the 3 star version would be +20 or more better. I’ve left several patterns in the dust because of better items from the pig rolls or just not enough of an upgrade over the previous weapon. I don’t personally try to have a weapon with each effect on hand. I just go with the flow.
Also, I’m aware this is a fan site. Wanted to see if others were experiencing the same bug. =) It’s been fixed now with an update today.
