I messed up bad. Yesterday I wiped at Theatre of Blood (nothing new, it happens) but I was so distracted by the team arguing in voicechat that I forgot to retrieve my gear from the death bank chest. It was very early in the morning so I logged out and went to sleep. I woke up this morning and thought nothing of it, figuring I had retrieved it like I always do. Then I went pet hunting at Chaos Elemental and got ambushed by a squad of 6 pkers from both sides. So I died, lost a few hundred K gp, and thought nothing of it. I went to gear up for another ToB and all my gear is gone. My Torva armor, my elite void, my ultor ring, sang staff, crystal hally, everything except my main weapons and any items with cosmetic kits attached. I lost almost 1.5B because I forgot to loot my death bank. Two years of hard work and hard won purps gone in the blink of an eye. I’m devastated. Is there anything I can do or am I totally fucked? Why is this mechanic even a thing? It seems like a glaring hole in their bossing mechanics that should have been patched years ago. All I’ve ever heard are horror stories about it. Shouldn’t deaths coffer apply to everything? Why do raids and some random bosses delete all of your gear in the first place if you die before retrieving it? What is the point/benefit of this? I’ve lost nearly everything. Anyway I’m grieving this loss pretty hard and I can’t even think straight about how to proceed. Any advice or deus ex machina tier solutions would be greatly appreciated.
