As a player who is now stranded on Balmung, I greatly appreciate the implementation of these skip items, to allow me to save myself having to do the entire main story again when I make a new character on a server my friends may join me on.

However I thought of a potential issue with this system and I'm wondering if any of you fine folks can give me some clarity (yes I've read all of the official information regarding these items provided on the dedicated site and Mogstation entries)

What happens to those particularly important items you've given as rewards for these quests? Mounts, Minions, Artifact gear.. what about the Aetherial Compass for finding flight aethers? It would be rather disappointing to be locked out of these items.
