level five wearing copper half plate... am dead so I'm meditating next to the pond.
Booted.
Log back on...
armor is still there... but the sword and shield do not show up on inventory, or on quick bar. Instead there is a white spot. It lets me select the items, and they appear on the character... but not there in the inventory.
logged off and back on...
same thing.
will wait and see what happens.
