1 item restore per account needs to go

Also, all those people using the 1-time-item-restoration-thing to get a Fantasia Potion reimbursed make me laugh so hard... or for a piece of Darklight stuf... lulls

My friend went to buy the three items for the relic +1 and there was a glitch because he selected it too fast and ended up getting the item, then the whm hat, then the item again in like less than a second. (he showed me the SS with time stamp). This wasn't his error because it means he would have had to tab to the item, then have it reset, and somehow tab it back to the item again (which he didn't).

According to reddit at the time this was a known glitch (not sure if fixed now).

They forced him to use his one-time restore to get his myth points back. Which imo, isn't right at all since this wasn't a player error.

There was also the option to earn the myth points again and saving up the one-time restore.

As MMO's don't have a save feature (so you can restore yourself) I've always double checked before tossing stuff or buying expensive items and as such never needed a restore in years of online playing. One restore is more than enough in my opinion, people just need to be more careful.

A genuine glitch is a different matter and shouldn't be treated as a restore.

There is the option from the developers side to allow items purchased from vendors to be traded back for full point refund within x time limit, completly removing the need for them to worry about item restore and allowing players to do it themselfs. Seeing how buggy this ui is you sometimes get the wrong item upon purchase. Blizzard used to do item restore and item trades for players its one of the reasons they added this mechanic to their game so that the player base could trade items dropped in dungeons if someone rolled need by mistake, or if you purchased the wrong item from vendor. 2 hour limit to refund item or trade. Now FF would have to do it different since they dont allow trade in dungeons. But they could allow the players to refund items for the points within a said time.

The one time restore is fine, this game is so full of confirm boxes that you really need to have an immense brainfart if you want to drop something of great value or buy the wrong item.
Apart from that, at this point there is not a single item in this game which takes long to get.

Just pay attention and don't play under influence of alcohol or drugs.

I've never needed an item restored in any MMO I've played.

How incompetent or dishonest is someone to need a whole bunch of them?

That's a waste and not the players entire fault, He should have taken more time. If their is a glitch in the game which there was then he shouldn't have been forced to use his one time restore. If he had proof which he did then SE should have asked for it and took the right actions, But telling someone they have to wait 2 more weeks to get 900 more Myth isn't fair.


As for the OP he still never said why he needed to have one time restore more than once? When you throw away rare gear not only does it pop a menu, but you have to click the confirm box in it to toss the gear....... Guess someone used their Fantasia and doesn't like being a male.

It shouldn't, but even with the well-known glitch that was causing people to buy Valor Coronet when they clicked on Thavnairian Mist (the two items are in different tabs, so it's very unlikely to be user error), SE tells these people that they have to either eat the loss or use their one-time restore to fix this.

After the number of posts I saw about this, I bought my Mists one at a time as soon as I had the 300 myth, so if I clicked too fast and it tried to buy something else, it would fail.

i have personally never had to use the restore option and likely never will as i am very detailed to make sure i don't mess up, but i would still like to see it changed to once or twice a year at most. this gives you a little room for mistakes and glitches they know about to let people restore their items, but doesn't make you afraid to use your one restore per lifetime.

if se is going to count known glitches like their mist as a one time restore they need to have more than one per lifetime as they will have more than one glitch in game from now til the time the servers go down.

Ya problem is he didn't know of the glitch until it happened and then he saw a thread about it on reddit afterwards. So he technically had no reason not to.

If their is a glitch in the game which there was then he shouldn't have been forced to use his one time restore. If he had proof which he did then SE should have asked for it and took the right actions, But telling someone they have to wait 2 more weeks to get 900 more Myth isn't fair.

Exactly. He had a screenshot of the whole thing (I saw it) He didn't even need the hat he ended up buying from the glitch. How is that right? (As a note, too this was before the myth cap raise so it was even longer.)

And ya as others mentioned this has become a well-known glitch. His incident isn't even some random isolated one. This means tons of people either had to have wasted myth or use up their one-time restore on something that amounts to SE's fault to begin with.
