Okay, found a workaround, but it disables achievements. Yeah, I'm talking about using the console commands to add the fixed items to inventory.
Open console by pressing (~)
type in Iroll20s to enable cheats
then type in AddItem <itemname> 1
The item names are in the folder PillarsOfEternity_Data\assetbundles\prefabs\objectbundle where PoE is installed.
I feel a little annoyed that I'm going to be considered a cheater and achievements are disabled to fix a bug, but I'll get over it. While I'm at it will consider refunding all the money I had spent on retraining my character over and over again, haha.
