Makai stuff missing from Calamity Salvager

[Brightshadow]

Honestly for a limited time event they should have made all of these things much easier to obtain/reobtain. For the amount of effort that we put to get everything from Mako it should have been a permanent event like the Monster Hunter event.

But...who knows at this point everyone should try to get the Monster Hunter stuff asap because they might remove it in the future like they did the Mako.

It's not Square-Enix's decision to make as to whether it will be a permanent event or not. The collaboration was just that - a collaboration. It could only last for as long as the franchise owner would allow (not sure who owns Garo - TV Tokyo, maybe?).

Capcom was willing to allow the Monster Hunter crossover to be permanent, but it was all laid out in the contract. Since we've been told the Monster Hunter event is permanent, likely nothing short of a lawsuit will allow Capcom to force Squeenix to discontinue the event. I'd say the odds of the Rathalos fight being removed are very slim.

The Garo stuff we were told from the beginning that it was going to be temporary, and were given more than a year's advance notice when the decision was finally made to end it. It's a shame, though, that it wasn't made more clear which lingering items could still be obtained after the event, and how. No one should have to look up two-year-old version updates to learn the specifics of how these items are added to the Calamity Salvager.

I'm sure I read it somewhere in the Lodestone notices recently. Maybe the patch notes, maybe the specific announcement/reminders about the end of the collaboration.

That's not what they're talking about. It is fully acknowledged in this thread that people were aware when the collab was ending. The problem is, all they said in recent patch notes was that you'd be able to obtain previously gained items from the Calamity Salvager. The ONLY proven mention of having to have the achievements to be able to repurchase them from the Calamity Salvager that's been provided so far is 3.55a patch notes from over 2½ YEARS AGO. So, clearly people newer to the game would not fully understand what to expect when they didn't say anything in the RECENT patch notes about needing to have the achievements to repurchase items.

I know that, and that's what I was talking about.

I'm certain there was a recent post in the context of "Garo collaboration ending" that detailed what would've available from the calamity salvager and how, and to ensure you do not discard the other pieces.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but it's what I remember reading.

I peeked through and all I saw was the one post from August, with a reminder from a post in April, that just said this:
"* 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.
* Attempting to complete unfinished achievements after the release of Patch 5.1 will not be possible as the achievements will no longer be obtainable."

And then the more recent one from October:
"It is also important to note that the Heroic Spirit Shield cannot be repurchased via Calamity salvagers even after unlocking the Echoes of the Golden Wolf achievement. Be warned that if this item is discarded, it will be lost forever, so please take extra care when handling this item. We recommend placing it in the glamour dresser for safe keeping.
* Updated Tuesday, October 8 at 6:00 p.m. (PDT)

We are also looking into the possibility of adding another invisible shield in a future patch."

Granted I already knew how the achievements worked, which is why I did way more pvp than I ever wanted to in a solid week to try to get all the gear in time, buuut y'know. Maybe I missed an announcement somewhere else, but I can understand the mistake if anybody missed it.
