wrong logic to write animate weapon gear in database

My daily animate guardian's gears are over 300 divine orbs(void forge,Mask of the Stitched Demon, etc), they were set up in my gloves. I played it until 1:30 pm 01/28/2026 (US EAST) and everything was fine.

trigger: I was using Squirming Terror Unset Ring (white socket) with ANOTHER level 18 animate guardian gem to level it up.

I stopped play POE1 around 1:30 pm and re-logged around 4:50 pm of 01/28/2026 after the POE client update for Phrecia league.

result: the gears of my animate guardian became garbages.
It turned out all the gears were from the single gem in my Squirming Terror Unset Ring. The loss was too huge for me.


possible reason: The logic to write animate guardian's gears into database has issue. It chose the wrong gem when there were multiple animate guardian gems.

claim: I didn't re-allocate gears to my animate guardian. There is no mis-operation from myself so I am asking for a restoration of my animate guradian's gears (support has rejected this request since they can't do it for me. I wonder if dev has the right to do so).

Thanks in advance.

sorry, I mean the animate guardian's gear.

"for any reason"
I am sure this bug can be easily reproduced by dev.

This loss is due to GGG's logic error so I suppose GGG should take the responsibility.

added a screenshot to show that the description of my animate guardian still shows it has elemental weakness effect (implicit from Gravebind glove).
while you can clearly see that the glove in graphics is not Gravebind glove.

correction, the -10 elemental resistance is not from glove implicit but from elemental army.
then i asked my friend to help test.
my animate guardian's glove's implicit for elemental weakness is gone.
That means the full sets of gears are gone due to this bug.

"The periodic activation of the AG due to the ring trigger replaced the gear".
is this by design?

Even if it triggered the level 18 AG, is it supposed to replace my original gears by some random gear on the ground?

this is a really stupid design, tbh.
never mind, myth solved.
Thanks
