    Calamity Salvager

    Is this new?

    The interesting thing is, I have 50ALC but I never did the quests (because I already had luminary), so the ALC quest tool isn't available, which makes sense. But I also have 50THM (from Sacrifice III days) and have not unlocked BLM (because I have always hated BLM), yet I can buy BLM relic (but not equip it, obviously).

    Strange.

    Calamity Salvager was added for 2.2 and its primary purpose is to let you buy Unique/Untradeable shit you threw out.

    Right but I had a friend who has a level..21 Archer, able to buy the Relic Bow lol, and I was able to buy the relic Stardust Rod (and my BLM is 26) but Bard is 50. I think it swapped the items you can get and confused em.

    That might explain the emergency maintenance for those areas earlier. Does it still let you do that?

    I just tried to buy the Stardust rod and it didn't complete the transaction despite it being in my list, has anyone actually bought one instead of it just being in the list?

    Currently, we have confirmed an issue with the NPC “Calamity Salvager” wherein the Stardust rod and Artemis Bow are sometimes able to be purchased from the NPC by players who have never possessed these items before, or are unable to be purchased by players who have once owned these items before.

    We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible, but as a temporary measure, on Mar. 27, 2014 from 1:30 a.m. to 1:40 a.m. (PDT), we performed an emergency maintenance on certain areas in order to render the Stardust rod and Artemis bow temporarily unavailable for purchase from the NPC “Calamity Salvager.” We apologize for the inconvenience, and ask for your patience until the issue is resolved.

    *The Stardust rod and Artemis bow may still appear in the list of items for sale, but you will not actually be able to purchase them.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    Calamity Salvager existed (on legacy servers, at least) since beta 3 or 4, and allowed us to retrieve all the stuff that wouldn't fit in our new, smaller inventory (or was on our retainers).

    But this stuff is new.
