This dialogue was added in Patch 4.3 — the message is quite clear that, by skipping ahead, you forfeit all rights to prior floor loot. Before, it wasn’t exactly clear unless you just knew how the loot system worked, since the gear forfeit is actually not explicitly mentioned in the Savage patch notes; just gear distribution per floor and coffer loot rules.



This isn’t a technical issue, and the game warned you ahead of time: The preceding duty will be skipped and its weekly reward lost.
