The Accursed Keepsake

I seem to have an “account-bound” Accursed Keepsake or Haunted Momento that started during Shadowlands pre-patch.

It isn’t in my bags, and it’s not a toy, pet, or hunter pet that I’ve intentionally summoned. Simply, I can’t get rid of it. It will appear while on any of my toons, alliance or horde faction.

The ghost isn’t clickable, targetable, or interactive like a pet or hunter pet would be. It’s more so an annoyance. The transparent black ghost appears near me about every 10 minutes or so if I’m standing still, usually when first logging in. It makes growling/groaning noises for a minute or so and then vanishes.

I’ve asked other people if they can see or hear it, and they do, but nobody seems to know why it persists when I don’t have one in my bags.

Has anyone else run into this, and if so, is there a way to stow or get rid of it? Or am I the recipient of a sick joke or strange in-game bug?

It was fun during scourge invasion, but now it just creeps me out. Help?!

If it happens on all your characters, yet none of them have the item, than it is for sure a bug, log a ticket or make a bug post on the bug forum.

every prepatch event has stuff that you cant get in game by organic means !

I didn’t even farm one I just bought like 6 during the event for like 20k each. Sorry your on a low pop server with a crappy economy.

the servers i play on they sell for 25 to 40k , still tons of them out there, also each character can only carry 1 , even if you put it in the bank.

I found several of the Scourgestones in bags and banks (there were 2 types dropped in pre-patch) which can no longer be turned in since the NPC at Argent Tournament grounds in Icecrown were removed from the game. Once I got rid of those on all toons, the mysterious ghosties were gone and haven’t respawned since.

The vendor wasn’t removed. They just relocated him to the large Argent Crusade tent.
