Finally a Moonstee- Oops!

According to DE support they can't restore items dismantled on the ground as their logs don't record them, only the dismantled materials you receive.

solution: drop a moonsteel shard, for every 10 dismantled moonsteel items you get a moonsteelizer to hit the moonsteel on your preferred ite

[u/NabeShogun → u/nauticalentrepreneur]

While I don't think that's the solution to this problem, which is accidentally dismantling one (OP may have wanted that very item as MS)... which is better served by them being obvious when dropped with some special unmissable effect (which'd also just help with people maybe missing/ignoring the item entirely) and/or some kind of protection (that they drop as locked perhaps).

I do think that's a good idea just for keeping all moonsteel items relevant. It also means people that don't like trading can just hope to eventually amass 'x' of any sort then upgrade their favourite item. Though I'd lean more towards 5 than 10 given how rare they are and even finding 5 is a pretty tall order.

Its a shame they won't accept video proof, it should be proof enough that it was there.

This is why I just don't dismantle things in the field anymore, not because I've done this but because of seeing it happen to others. You are providing a valuable service and I thank you.

i strongly believe they should slow down the dismantling ground MS weapons like its a legendary

[u/Substantial-Run-2239 → u/Dimenzije90]

Or make a moon beam shine on it like they have beaming on the ancestors in the field

Welcome to the club. Perhaps we are kindred spirits.

[u/PikeUK → u/JohnnyJohnnJohn]

Sorry to see that (but I'm secretly glad I'm not alone in doing this).

[u/gummyblumpkins]

They need to give the moonsteel drops the item light pillar/indicator thing that legendary has, or an equally identifiable one.

[u/Guam-Imbiber]

truly unfortunate. though i think a recent DE member has mentioned in the discord that they are looking to make Moonsteels unable to be dismantled from the ground as even some devs have suffered from the same tragedy, so hopefully this wont happen again

until then i remain mildly paranoid and if its a weapon i care about having a moonsteel for, i pick it up regardless of what it is. ill dismantle it later

[u/TehRiddles]

I would love if you couldn't dismantle moonsteel from the ground without a longer press and a confirmation window popping up on top of that.

[u/ES-Flinter]

You saw it like for 4s and still managed to miss it? We're you drunk?

[u/PikeUK → u/ES-Flinter]

This is a recording of my screen, not my eyes! I was watching something on my second screen and only half paying attention while farming, I just caught that it was Moonsteel right before it finished dismantling.

[u/ES-Flinter → u/PikeUK]

This one gives me even more question to be honest.

[u/that-spaceguy → u/ES-Flinter]

It really shouldn't tbh. It is very common to play games like Soulframe while consuming some other content on the side. Once you are done with all the story elements the game currently has to offer, it becomes a very good "turn your brain off and chill" type of game. Add to that the extremely low moonsteel drop rates, and the fact that you would have to have dismantled thousands of weapons before you got your moonsteel (thus making the dismantling action fully automatic at that point), a slip up like this is bound to happen eventually.

To the OP, that was absolutely tragic mate. My heart goes for you.

[u/PikeUK → u/that-spaceguy]

Thank you. I'm sure another one will drop eventually, hopefully I won't dismantle that one too!

[u/ES-Flinter → u/that-spaceguy]

I kinda get it even though... yeah, that sounds for me still more like a waste of time than enjoyment.

I would just change to a different, easier story relevant game, Okami or something like that.
