Did the Setzer Quest a long time ago, Setzer disappeared
Posted: 27 Oct 2014, 16:27
My Setzer(s) have disappeared from storage, possibly converted back into a short sword(s).
DETAILS:
I've only had two characters in TMW: DrRude and Feral Chyld. I did the Setzer quest and armor quests with both characters. Since this was before TMW had a bank and storage, I used Feral Chyld to hold stuff for DrRude. At some point someone gave Feral Chyld a short sword. Between DrRude and that other player, Feral ended up with two Setzers and a short sword.
A few years ago I lost the DrRude character due to more than 6 months of inactivity and some TMW server house cleaning. With losing DrRude I also lost more than a million gold but that's another story. Eventually DrRude's Setzer, Feral's Setzer and that other short sword all ended up in Feral's storage.
Fast forward to yesterday and I was told to try using my Setzer for its speed advantage. Thinking I still had them in storage I went and checked, only to find three short swords -- and no Setzers. Just to be sure, I confirmed that Feral had already done the Setzer quest (and the prerequisite Bone Knife quest). Before losing DrRude I had turned him into an archer so I had no reason to move the Setzers back to that character.
Sometime back in the summer I recall some ingame glitches where the some parts of the character avatar were throwing an error. That leads into my questions:
1) Is there a possibility that some glitch is responsible for deleting my Setzers (or changing them back to short swords)?
2) If so, can I get one (or both) of my Setzers back?
and
3) If I can't get my Setzers back, is there a flag in the database that can be "reset" so I can complete the Setzer quest again? I already have everything for Nicholas except for the Golden Stinger.
Thanks in advance for your time...
EDIT: I pose these questions more from a server admin / Developer perspective (i.e. - was there a glitch, make a quick change to one of the tables in the database, etc). The work-around of creating another character and leveling it up to redo those quests is NOT a solution.
