Puzzle: Is it possible to obtain GARO gear today?

Hi folks, I accidentally (really truly) discarded my Makai Marksman's Battlegarb a while back. I'm looking to obtain it but it looks like the NPC Dispreputable Priest was removed after patch 5.1 - SE says that the items were limited time, but can still be obtained through Calamity Salvager [0]:

* Previously earned gear, mounts, and titles will remain usable after Patch 5.1.
* Gear you have previously earned can still be obtained from the Calamity Salvager after Patch 5.1.

The Calamity Salvager doesn't display anything for me to purchase as a MCH. :confused: Am I missing something? Is this item forever gone? :(

Thanks in advance for any help!

No because lawyers.

Thanks Jamie. I guess I'm with you there, but the only part that left me with some hope, and contradicts a bit is:

* Gear you have previously earned can still be obtained from the Calamity Salvager after Patch 5.1.

You can get back gear if you already owned it and threw it away.

How does one do this Jamie?

I've either thrown away the item or sold it to an NPC. The Calamity Salvager doesn't show anything I can buy back. ^-^; thanks for helping.

Thing is that you can get it back but only if you unlocked that sets achievement, if you dont have that, it wont be sold by the Calamity Salvager.

Cheers meTYE,

Saved me so much more digging. Appreciate it!

There is some kind of one-time-only item reclaim system available, though I'm not clear on the specifics of it.

You can ask a GM and send a report in if you cannot get it back and it's not in the Calamity Salvager. This is usually a one time deal though and you can never do it again.

You still have a low chance of a retainer bringing back a Garo gear item. Retainers from a quick venture can bring back any random item that's been in the game. I had mine not long ago bring back a Mado Staff from one after the event already ended.

I'm honestly not too sure about that. I've sent my retainers out on thousands of quick ventures since GARO ended and seen lots of PVP gear among other things, but never a GARO piece. Quick ventures are not a "random anything in the game" thing. There are specific sets of gear and types of items that they pull from and there are a lot of things in the game that they will not bring back. You are the only person I have ever seen claim GARO gear can come from quick ventures, so I think you are probably remembering incorrectly either what you actually have, or how you got the Mado Staff.
