Guild Wars 2

I submitted a bug report but wanted to post here to see if anyone else had come across this. I received a candy corn cob from step one of the story, and went to the vendor to check prices of things. I already had the elemental mini from last year, so I didn’t buy anything. I went to the black citadel and equipped my mini. At that point I noticed that the cob that had been in my inventory was missing. I did not buy the mini (I already had it, and there wasn’t a new copy of it in my inventory). I didn’t notice whether the cob went missing before or after I equipped the mini, so I don’t know if that’s connected or just a coincidence.

I’m assuming that’s not intentional; you wouldn’t give us the cob if equipping the mini automatically removes it even if you already had it, as that defeats the purpose of giving us the cob in the first place. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Have you checked your material storage? Cobs have a slot there so if you hit “Deposit all materials”, it would have been tossed in there.

Sadly, can confirm!

After completing the meta, I hit “accept” on the reward chest pop-up, but the log shows no entry for the candycorn cob entering my inventory at all. I was in PvP at the time (stomping was the last achievement I needed to finish the meta) so I didn’t do material storage either.
