[BUG] *Missing Legacy Quest Item* Dartol's Rod of Transformation and Gear Update - Disappeared from mail

Important bullet points up front, wordy writeup with more detail below that.

  • Performed Gear Update.

  • 2 of my toons had legacy quest item Dartol’s Rod of Transformation in their bags and it was sent to their mail.

  • Disappeared when trying to retrieve it from mail on this shaman. I did not delete the mail or let it expire.

  • Other legacy item still sits in my night elf rogue’s mail on this realm. I won’t attempt to retrieve it until it is safe.

  • I want these returned as they are important to me. I have memories attached to them.

I recently received a Gear Update on this character and one of my old rogues so I could level and gear them up in the pre-expansion content.

I had the legacy quest item in both characters inventory, the Dartol’s Rod of Transformation, and it was sent to their mail after I requested this service.

When I went to retrieve this item on this character from my mail box, it disappeared after clicking on the icon.

I’ve already been through a couple of AI GM responses that kept directing me to perform a mail restoration on this character. This won’t work in my case as mail was not deleted, nor did it expire. I still had 170+ days on the expiry timer when this happened.

The final GM response was helpful and sent me here.

My account was created in the Spring of 2007, and I am almost certain I got the item on these toons shortly after. This shaman is my 3rd oldest toon. My rogue was created not long after. I do have a lot of memories attached to this item as we used to use it as a “toy” while in raid or other general goofing around. Any help retrieving this legacy item would be much appreciated.

I have not retrieved the other Dartol’s Rod of Transformation from my night elf rogue on the Icecrown realm. I am worried that it will also disappear. It still sits in it’s mailbox with 167 days left to expiry.

If possible I would like this item returned to me and have the ability to retrieve the other one from my rogue’s mailbox without it disappearing, thank you for your time and attention.

I was also informed by a GM to come report this bug. My Dartol’s rod was also missing after doing the gear update on my Shaman… I hope we can get our item back. I got it so long ago :frowning:

I’m in the exact same situation. A friend of mine had theirs inside their bank, so it was safe and sound, but since I had mine inside my bags, I too had it vanish.

Unfortunately not a bug.and is intended behavior for this item as it is a quest item that no longer has a quest.
