never received gifted gear?!

[Solvaring]

A friend of mine rented my pawn and spent 2 hours dragonforging equipment for her, he equipped it onto my pawn and sent her back to me. I got the items he gifted me, but i didnt receive any equipment at all. Is it just gone forever>?

First he would have to rest to upload the info to the server.
Then there seems to be sometimes some delay. I would just wait a bit and it should show up.

I wasn't aware you could send items that way. I thought you could only send items via gifting.

It’s most likely in your storage, if you haven’t checked. That is where gifted items go.

Strange, if the itens was BBIsland armors/weapons you can't trade.
the best is kill dark bishop because is more quick and easily to get dragon forged
Have a good day

He said he rested 4 or 5 times and he is pretty experienced in this game. I'm currently using his level 200 warrior pawn. You can send hired pawn's home with equipment by equipping it on them. Go into your equipment and equip a hired player pawn with something, it should show in bright purple writing in bottom left that whatever you equip on that pawn will be gifted to the player when the pawn is sent home.

so he just released my pawn and i got some more items, but the dragon forged gear he equipped on me from the last time he contracted my pawn seems to have been lost in the ether, im sad :( it's definitely lost because i just received the most recent set of items he sent me

There is also a gift cap of 10 items. If this is gone over the pawn usually just gets rocks instead of getting the items. The pawn will not recieve any RC and I think they get the 3 star ratings though I could be mistaken on that. It will also softban the giver for about 24 hours so that any other hires that they release while softbanned will recieve rocks and no RC.

The following is the result of my personal observations.
Gifted equipment may turn into a rock. Once I hired my pawns from other accounts and upon returning all of them had rocks instead of gifts. The pawn to whom I'd already sent several items (<10, though) received a few items and a rock instead of the gifted armour. As I did not abuse the gifting system, I concluded that some kind of upload error might have taken place. Since then I never gift my other pawns more than one dragon-forged armour at a time.

Once I released my pawn from the main account and when I logged in there to collect RC... I received nothing. I waited... but that hiring was never registered, it seems.

you got it dead on correct, and equiptment counts towards that initial cap of 10 items, and then the things you give the pawn while firing them count against that, when ten is reached the first thing given (which is usually the best of the stuff) is discarded.

this is easy to avoid by resting correct amount and all, there is one thing in the game that makes it unavoidable, and that is releasing the pawn, killing the dragon and going into NG+, that in itself can cause a softban as well, and can't be avoided, all other softbans can be avoided with careful execution of the correct order of gifting and resting.

the best thing to do when you start passing rocks, is go back into the sending account, rest until it says "connection error" from the bench in BBI, and don't send anything when you do it, give it a half hour or so and go back in and rest one time to reset the pawn in the rift, because after the "connection error" you pawn became removed temporarily, and resting once puts tham back in.

There used to be a post about that but it has been deleted.

Wait. What softban? A softban for going to NG+? How does it work?

I can't make head nor tail of how it works. Recently I gifted a holy weapon to my pawn and there was nothing received but a rock. What have I violated? I didn't send a bunch of items, I just released my other pawn with an extra Volant White.

The last time when I had a permanent 'connection error', I could not rest at the inn at all. It had 'connection error' time and time again and failed to upload pawn's data until I released the problematic pawn from my other account. (This problem was caused because my wifi router stopped working at the time of upload. It's an unfortunate coinsidence but it's practically impossible to mend if you don't have an alternative account where you keep your pawn as a hired one.)

you can cause the connection errror by resting 10 times in rapid succession, to enable it to rest again and save right after you literally have to log into another character, rest with that character and then go back to the other and rest and it will enable resting and saving again, connection error can cause problems for other users accessing your pawn, it does have it's uses though.

when you go into NG + it is like reloading from a previous save, it isn't the same game, sounds odd i know, but i have had it happen to me many many times, everytime i ever killed the senchai with my own pawns in the party and not rested and received (meaning if you log into those pawns as soon as you release them and receive up to that point you will get RC for it, but if you don't.. no RC, no knowledge, nothing, invalid data.

PS: the rock means you are tradebanned (softbanned), if you have given more than you have rested you might want to rest a ton of times.. do it in BBI of course.

find a friend that is playing when your online that you can try sending smal useless junk to to see if they receive it, or a rock.

if you give a pawn 10 items, and then give them a gift upon release, thats 11 items, autoban.

gear and gifts al count as a single peice per peice, 1 peice of armor and a cursed item = rest twice.

3 peices of gear and a gift on relese = rest 4 times.
