Construct Upgrade Question [spoiler]

I've activated the construct, and when i talked to it, i successfully used my craft weapon skill to supposedly upgrade its weapons. However, when i look at its character page, all attack related stats are the same as before i talked to it. The attack bonus, damage, critical modifier, and strength are all the same. What exactly is improved when i successfully upgrade its weapons by talking to it?

I think the Construct is supposed to gain feats when you upgrade it, so that's where you should check for changes. However, at one point I saw a post (in BioWare's forum) where somebody claimed the wrong feats were being applied, and so the upgrades weren't all that useful.

Edit: I just tried adding the craft alchemy upgrade (via Sand), and it didn't do anything. It didn't add any feats that I could see.

It turns out that upgrading the Construct is pretty much broken in version 1.03. If Sand upgrades the Construct for you, nothing will happen. If you upgrade the Construct yourself, then you'll give it resist energy feats rather than the str/ac/hp feats that it was supposed to have received.

I've gotten the Construct to my keep, even given Grobnar the Tome of Illkazar, what else do I need to actually activate the Construct (right now, it just stands there when I attempt interaction with it)
I have at least 3 Iron Golem Parts (don't know if they matter), but what is the "glowing ink" that that Quest mentions?

Reactivating the Construct is covered on Grobnar's character page.

How do you upgrade it with Sand? Every time i click on one of my allies, then try to talk to the construct, or anyone else for that matter, it automatically jumps to my character. I know the upgrade doesn't work, however i'm curious how you got someone else to do it.

Sand just needs to be in your party when you attempt the upgrade.
