I seem to have managed to unintentionally drop or vendor my featherweight tower shield. I do so hate being encumbered @ 12 str and have no idea if such items still exist. Don't suppose anyone bumped into it before it got cleared off/reset or such? :c

Odds are i'm buggered but can't hurt to check :p

Here's a couple of common ways that I see people loose things.

First, not a bug, but you'd be surprised how many people do this: If you unequip something while your inventory is full, the item drops to the ground. Easy to loose things this way.

Second: If your shield is quickslotted, and kept inside a bag, it can vanish utterly on area transition. This seems more likely to happen to people with larger character .bic file size, caused by bloated inventories. This happens most often to shields, and I don't know why.

People have also reported shields vanishing on Avlis on area transition while their shield is equipped and they have a full inventory. (Usually after mining)
Not sure if any of these apply to you, but it's always good to know what to keep an eye out for.

If you drop a shield or anything and then pick it up remember to save your character when you have get it back. I have actually had a shield drop because of an overloaded inventoryi then picked it up and fought with it.

But i then got the message dropped shield when i finally uploaded at a crafting table. And the shield vanished from my inventory.

Needless to say the shield was nowhere in sight

(In this case i'm 90% sure I sold it in a bit of a vendor-frenzy, but sage words regardless :) )

FWIW, these items still exist so you can probably get a new one if you don't get the one you lost back.

Post a message on the in character boards and someone is bound to either tell you where to get one or offer to get one for you.

Harassing people ingame is the obvious and planned next step, yes :)
