Guild Wars 2

Yesterday I joined a ‘guide’ along with a bunch of others to do the jumping puzzle in the Silverwastes. I completed it, got the keys and collected the dowsing rod. I saw it being added to my inventory. A little bit later I went to the Skritt at the boat, but suddenly I noticed it was gone! Not anywhere to be found in my inventory. It’s not a crafting material so I couldn’t have deposited it, and I assume it can’t be sold on the TP so I did not accidentally sell it.

Now, because the game assumes I’ve already done the whole JP, I can’t get a new rod anymore…

You don’t even need it. You don’t get a reward or achievement for giving it to the skritt. She just spins around and calls herself a Storm Wizard until she falls over.

Oh. So maybe I already gave it to her without realizing.

I was expecting something big, like a reward chest or valuable drop or something.

In that case, nevermind, do not care =D

You instantly give it to her upon interaction. Giving it does nothing but a short funny dialogue.

You’ll never land a date now that you don’t have your dowsing rod.

They’ll never hire you now that you don’t have your dowsing rod.

You will always get picked last now that you don’t have your dowsing rod.

What else?

When you talk the champ skritt burgler at the end of the puzzle it makes sense.
