    Hi there

    So today an idea poped up in my head while I accidentally thrown my freakn Maelstrom in a fire .--. So far you can't get back any lost items (or burned .--.). But with /fixquest you can get back needed Quest-items. So I thought it would be very nice If there is a command e.g. /fixitem whit which you can get back your lost items (or burned .--.). Losing (or burn .--.) an item is so disappointing. Imagin it would be a freakn Mythic weapon!
    (Sorry for my bad english)

    It's your fault if you threw them into fire or lava. Wynn has a strict no refund policy.

    Hi there.

    Ya no this wouldn't work, I'm pretty sure fixquest just gives you a bunch of quest items from your level range, it doesn't actually give you items back, it just gives you server stored copies.

    As my fellow cat said above, /fixquests works differently. It checks your inventories and your bank for quest items, and then looks at what quest items you should have. It then fills up your inventory with quest items that are missing. Slightly buggy.

    I think your idea could work, since the game is storing info about your inventory, but it would be nearly impossible to fix all potential dupes with this.

    EDIT: It would also take a lot of data trying to remember what you had in your inventory when you update it, and all that jazz. I'm no expert, but that sounds like it would lag. A lot.

    It makes it so that you can't drop it in any way, except if you die with a very low amount of soul points that is.

    I would like to draw attention to this, as it is the main problem with this suggestion. There are countless ways that you could get around a system like this and use it to give back items you never actually lost, essentially creating an enormous duping problem. In order to avoid this you'd need to track the path of every single dropped/moved item and check that it actually despawned, who it belongs to, etc, and this would create a massive amount of lag, and still wouldn't be a guaranteed fix. Basically, this would be great, but people can't be trusted with it.

    The reason /fixquests is possible is because it's fairly easy to see which quest items you should have according to which quests you've done. There's no easy way to check what items you should have.

    Due to the glitches of the current /fixquest you can get infinite quest items if you wanted to.

    This would carry over to this suggestion. Here's a scenario for you.

    You've been grinding for days and suddenly you got the best Apocalypse that the world has ever seen.
    You sell it to someone for 5 stacks. The /fixitem command would see that you don't have that Apocalypse anymore and gives it back to you.
    This is how you would make infinite money.

    Modpacks shouldn't be the first solution. Others exist, but telling someone they have to use modpacks on Wynn just defeats the purpose

    like people said above, these are server stored copies, not the actual item, meaning it can't record item stats
    and you bet soonTM that people will find a way to dupe mythics
    this is why we have a no refund policy, so people can't dupe mythics
    it might seem "unfair" but c'mon it was your fault for losing the items
    also maelstrom isn't too hard to get.
