Items in the game never disappear on their own: every single in-game action is processed and validated by the game servers. If a piece of equipment is missing, there are three possible scenarios:
- An item might have been equipped by another hero. Items are not unique and can be used for various heroes.
- An item might have been sold for gold or exchanged for activity points in a Guild.
- An item was used to create another item. As all higher-tier items are crafted out of lower-tier gear, crafting can become quite complex on higher levels. Learn more about complex items and how they work here.
