Items Dropped By Acheron in Crystal Tower Can Be Lost

[Asara]

Due to the way the game handles the Crystal Tower weekly item lock, it is possible to destroy one of the items from Acheron when a Dimension Blade Fragment is dropped. This prevents anyone from receiving the destroyed item, even if they have not received anything for the week.

Date: February 4th, approx. 11:30 PM Central
Frequency: Unknown
Character Names: Adrek Aldeno
Race: Elezen M
World: Exodus
Class: 50 BLM
Area: Crystal Tower, Acheron's Room
Party: Full raid, 24 players.
NPC: None
Monster Name: None (After Acheron kill)
ISP: AT&T U-verse
Connection Speed: 10Mbit/s

Steps:
1. Be eligible for a weekly Crystal Tower item.
2. Kill Acheron, and have the Dimension Fragment drop in addition to the armor drop.
3. Roll 'need' on both the Fragment and the armor drop.
4. The first item that all players finish rolling on is distributed to the winning player, causing him to no longer receive Crystal Tower items for the week.
5. If the second item that all players finish rolling on is then won by the same player, the second item is then destroyed, since he can no longer receive items for the week. No one else can claim this item regardless of the weekly status of the other players, and even if they rolled need.
