Gear disappears from character

[Lans0]

I hit a massive FPS drop in Drowned Barrows. I finished combat, saved and closed the game, and loaded back in. 

Ydwin is now naked except for her hat and necklace. Every single other piece of gear is gone, including some of my best unique items (dexterity immune robes, tekehus rod)

This is a triple crown run. No I can't reload a previous save and get my gear back. 

Is this a known bug?  Is there any legitimate way to retrieve gear?

Extra credit bonus bug:

Acinas Tricorn (the hat equipped to Ydwin) was completely stripped of magical enchantment. It no longer provides reload time or ranged accuracy no matter who it is equipped on

Hi!

That uniques can lose enchantments is a known bug which occurs very seldomly. Annoying - I don't think the reason is known because it's very hard to reproduce.

I don't know of an easy remedy (except using the console of course, but that will strip that run of achievements). There is another one for party runs (see below).

Your second problem is wild. :  

I think I never read about losing gear to an extend you experienced. Losing one item due to file corruption or sth. similar can happen, but this I the first case I read about (or recall) where a character gets outright stripped of gear.

Again: I don't know how to fix this directly/quickly without the use of the console. You can def. fix all this with the use of the console, but as I said you will lose achievements. If you don't care about those anyway it's an easy fix. 

 

However I have another (but more complicated) solution that lets you keep achievements:

You can export a character who carries all the missing gear from any other savegame. That exported character will function as a "mule". You can hire that exported character as a hired adventurer in your Triple Crown run - WITH gear (pref. as a lvl-1 hireling, get the gear, discard the hireling).

You won't lose achievements this way - but it will be expensive as hell even if it's only a lvl-1 hireling because the item quality will increase the amount of money significantly.

In this case you can even use the console in that other savegame to cheat the gear into your inventory and enchant it properly for free. 

Attention: the exported char will be marked as cheated then - BUT you can remove that cheat tag easily from the file of that exported char (it's a plain text file). There's a boolean variable in that file that's easily spotted. "Cheated" iirc or something like that... you simply change its value from "true" to "false"and the exported char is considered "cheat free" again.

TL;Dr:

Two options: one is free but removes achievements from the run. The second will let you keep the achievements but will cost a very high amount of in-game money.

If you want to try one of those solutions and have trouble making it happen please hit me up (just add my tag @Boeroer to any text - or quote anything I said, I will get informed). Else I might miss it.

Cheers!

I could only find one other person with identical symptoms. Looks like he never got an answer 

The only item Im really upset about is the dex/poison immune robes, but i already cleared the crystal desert so I can limp through the rest of the game with a slightly worse ydwin
