Vestige missing after reinc

[Deleted]

Greetings, I reinc'd my COT today 10/22/22 and vestige did not appear when I went to reclaim bound items.

Was it a vestige "token" or the selected vestige item? I believe there is an know issue with unclaimed vestige "tokens" not returning on reinc.

It is a known issue but the knowing doesn't prevent the issue from occurring, hence this post. 😜
I instigated the convo twice to not choose a vestige at this time because supposedly that works. I did neglect to clear my inventory though. But neither worked and here I am. I would truly be grateful if a DM could help resolve this issue when they have time.

Regards,
Ray

I just have an interest in learning about such issues that may impact me at some point

Solution is actually choose the one(s) you want before reincarnation and you won't have a problem.

Perhaps that is a solution. However, it is a bit more challenging when gear is not set yet.

I guess my answer to that would be, you are just about to reincarnate surely you have decided on the gear you are planning to use after reincarnation, if you have not why are you reincarnating at that point?

I'm sad to report that since the era of randomized loot, crystal balls have been out of stock and also werehacked loot is now in short supply... In some cases, it may be difficult to decide which vestige to use, unless you know what's gonna drop from Ixion / next foul lemure you kill. Especially if you already have a vestige you are already using (near) full time and only are only deciding on swap / backup.

There are various approaches to playing this game including planning gear set up. However, not everyone has the luxury of deep chests to choose from. I wanted the flexibility of choosing a vestige item post reinc, with a basic idea of which gear slots were open. Out of the multitude of reincs I have done over the years, this is only the second time a vestige token has not reappeared post reinc. Perhaps I enjoy a bit more chaos in my life than others and can handle the possibility of it not appearing 😁
Anyways, it was great to have an attentive DM help resolve the issue.

You can't farm every vestige for a toon so the choice is one you must consider I get not claiming it immediately and holding out as long as possible.

I have many toons with 4 unselected vestiges. It can be a tough choice sometimes.

Jimbo, once you have the max allotted vestiges on a character, if you choose to redo your choice, you can find a place in the maze that resets all the vestiges back to the tokens.
